7/27/2019 Four Potions

1/4

You will be wondering about that sugar bowl, I

imagine

+Scrap Princessasked what these potions did and this was my answer. I guess

it was well liked enough that I want to put it here so I don't forget about it & I've

tweaked some of the original post.

THERE ARE FOUR KINDS OF

POTION...Each character consumes one of four potions. There are as many potions as

there are characters. Nearby, you discover empty vials, some of which are

broken, crushed. It's hard to guess how many others have consumed these

potions.

ii. The Frog Your knees snap and your leg joints invert. Your jawline joins your

shoulders as your neck vanishes and your mouth grows enormous. You candance across water and tree tops if unencumbered and you can swallow whole

things half your size. Eventually, your mind fails, grows strange, hateful as your

organs de-acclimate to this environment and you die, hyperventilating,

suffocating on now-poisonous air, longing for steaming green jungles of a planet

far, far from here.

After affect: if this is the potion you first consumed and you manage to consume

all other varieties before they kill you, you survive, but you are never happy,always longing for a land you've never actually seen outside of dreams.

Similarly stranded brothers and sisters will send you a map to a possible way

home.

iii. The Shrimp Your eyes bulge, extend on stalks and you have all-around

vision and wide spectrum vision. Your skin hardens and becomes chitinous You

cannot wear armour but your skin counts as plate. You eat trash, smaller

creatures, whatever you can find and you become strange, secretive.

Eventually, your skin grows too heavy and gravity peels it from the flesh below,

killing you in the process.

After affect: if this is the potion you first consumed and you manage to consume

all other varieties before they kill you, you survive, but your skin is now

translucent and your hair becomes a stiff and brittle mass, like coral. Your eyes

remain larger-than normal and brilliantly-hued, and you retain wide-spectrum

vision.

iv. The Fish You bud scales, gills and you can see and breathe underwater as

on land. When under water, you can attack and evade by darting suddenly.

Save v paralysis instead of rolling to hit or using your AC; attacks made in this

way ignore armour and attacks avoided in this way deal no partial damage if

missed and require no additional save for area/breath affect damage.

Eventually, you can no longer breathe in water or land and die in a panic,

asphyxiating, flopping.

After affect: if this is the potion you first consumed and you manage to consume

all other varieties before they kill you, you survive, and you can breathe underwater but you're totally hairless and you've got fluttering gills from the side of

your face down to your nipples.
