Laudanum (5e Equipment)
Laudanum is a powerful tincture created by many alchemists and herbalists alike as a means of calming the nerves, reducing pain, and otherwise putting the body's humors back in line. A creature can consume one dose of laudanum as an action to remove the frightened condition, ignore the symptoms of a disease, or ignore the effects of an injury for up to an hour. If a character takes more than one dose of laudanum between long rests they must immediately make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or gain one level of exhaustion. This DC increases by 5 for every additional dose to a maximum of 25, any additional doses after this point the character automatically gains a level of exhaustion. One does of laudanum can be created over the course of a week of downtime using 5 gp of poppies and an herbalism kit or alchemist's tools. If a creature is proficient with an herbalism kit or alchemist's tools, they may create one dose at the end of a long rest.
