Witcher Potions (3.5e Equipment)

Witcher Alchemy:

Witchers augment their fighting and life style with alchemical potions. To anyone else these potions are poisonous (see Poison spell). When a Witcher passes the Trial of Grasses he becomes able to drink Witcher potions. However, Witchers do not become completely immune to the poison. When a Witcher reaches the max "Toxicity" they become unconscious and soon after die. This effect may only be counter-acted by a Remove Poison spell (This also removes the potion effects) before the poison kills him/her (after 1d4 round(s), Fortitude Dc of 20 postpones the Death effect each round max of 20rounds[2mins]). Antitoxin may postpone the death of the Witcher up to 1 hour, but does not cure the effect. This limits how many effects may be active at a time upon a Witcher. The max Toxicity that a Witcher may be under before death is 1 + Constitution Modifier per day. Witchers may meditate for 8 or more hours and cleanse their Toxicity. Another way in which a Witcher may cleanse their Toxicity, a Witcher may use the potion White Honey. Although, White Honey clears toxicity at the cost of clearing all potion effects.

Creation:

To create potions Witcher must get a hold of a alcohol base and ingredients. To obtain ingredients Witchers may either research plants and/or monsters to find substances to create their potions. The 6 substances that ingredients are comprised off are:

Name Price per piece
Vitriol 5 sp
Rebis 1 gp
Caelum 15 sp
Aether 2 gp
Fulgur 3 gp
Quebrith 4 gp
Sol 5 gp
Hydragenum 6 gp
Vermilion 12 gp

(Example: White Myrtle Petals are comprised of Vitriol and can be used to create potions that require Vitriol)

(For the purpose of letting players experiment until they find potion formulas (rather then seeing the exact formulas), I left out ingredients needed to create each potion. This I leave to Dungeon Masters so they may choose to use the formulas they personally create or may even those used in the Witcher games. If the Dungeon Master do not wish to work with the "experimenting aspect" they may require the Witcher in their games to buy premade formulas instead.)

To discover potions Witcher may find premade formulae or experiment on their own. Each potion is created with a strong alcohol base to merge the ingredients and create the wanted effect. Witchers may use any strong alcohol (Vodka, Whiskey, Bourbon, etc.) and creates White Gull (Alchemical Base). Once a Witcher possesses White Gull he may create any potion in which he desires. If a Witcher fails in creating a new potion the ingredients are spent. The following list shows all potions in which a Witcher may create:

(Side Note: These potions do not list/include Mutagens although Mutagens are created through alchemy)

Oils

Creating oils is similar to potions in most aspects. However, the effects of an oil remain in effect until removed. Oils are applied in the same manner as the Poison Use class ability except it does not effect the person applying it if they are not of the creature type. Witchers may apply any of these oils as if they had the Poison Use ability. If a creature is attacked with the wrong type of oil they take 25% less damage from the attack and are immune to the oils effects. Applying or removing an oil requires 5 minutes.

Witcher attempting to make any kind of oil must have a base substance of tallow (Aka Animal Fat). Tallow takes the place of a alcoholic base when trying to create oils instead. However, tallow may be used without first preparing it like with the White Gull substance. Tallow is rather cheap (1-4 Copper pieces) and can be found in large amounts in any restaurant that serves meat.

The extra damage from oils is not multiplied on critical hits.
