Potion Brewing Supplement

The brew of potions its an ancient art as much as the casting magic art of wizards and witches around the globe. However potion making its a really particular aspect of magic. Its a hard discipline of precision, timming and perception as needed virtues for the one who would swallow into the world of brewing potions. This art splits on two major topics wich we can name gathering and cooking. Both topics are equally trascendental for the brewing of a potion. And under no circumstance a potion brewer should focus just on one aspect only of these two. Because the result of a potion depends on how well done are all parts of the process.

The gathering part of brewing a potion means the first step. It implies all the comes and goes of obtaining whole the ingredients needed for brewing a potion. This aspect may seem easy and simple but I can assure you it's not. Even with most of the potions recipes wide spread and shared on magic society nowadays, gathering part of the brewing it's not just come to your nearest or trusted aphotecary and buy the materials (if you are lucky and the needed ingredients for the potion you desire to brew are obtainable on a local shop of course). This part of the brew also includes the knowledge and ability for a brewer on recognizing the quality on fresh ingredients and the knowledge on how to treat them. Not just for preserve them until the brewing will start but while the brewing it's getting done and you are using them too. And we are assuming the best case scenario of course, the most deep and complex face of gathering part includes scenarios where you by yourself must go into the nature sometimes on their most wild and savages corners looking after specially rare and really scarce ingredients. Besides the practical knowledge of know-how to manually gather them for yourself without ruinning it in the process of taking it once you found it on the wilderness. Greenhouses or apothecaries will not always have stock or access for the kind of materials you need when desiring to brew a specific potion. So a really good brewer its ready and capable of getting into the wild to look after and gather by itself the needed ingredients.

On the other hand the cooking part of the process as its own name would show concerns the whole process of mixing and preparing step-by-step ingredients into a potion. Usually this is done in a cauldron but there is always a crazy one with a crazy style of its own. The cooking part of the brewing contains all about the specific knowledge of potions. Not just the ingredients needed for their brew but also the steps and their order for a successful brewing. Also implies the talent and practice of the mage attending to come through the brewing. However the most relevant aspect of cooking may be the most secretly, ignored or underestimated one. Some people calls it instinct while other may call it a potioneers sixth sense. But despite your will to believe on that or not, its true that the perception ability of the brewer its important for those moments when things dont turn out how they suppose to be. Improvising and reasoning its very much needed to save the work for days, weeks or even months when you are brewing a potion and you realize things arent going as should be. Instead of throwing away what has already been started a good brewer may have some aces under its sleeve to save the potion for a successful brew at the end of the day.

Theory and practice meet on a needed balance again in the cooking part of the process as the mage needs the wisdom and knowledge of theory to known the properties of ingredients and also the effects of certains ways of brew or cook to improve or save its potions. As the practice its what comes before mastery an impressive technique never ends far away from a flawless success when it cames about potion making.

How to brew a potion

The fundamental mechanics for brewing potions take a deep and wide inspiration on tool proficiencies and crafting an item game rules of the chapter two in Xanathar's Guide to Everything book. More specifically the brewing potions of healing section on the same chapter.

The core mechanics for brewing potions split on three: recipe, components and preparation. This three parts are what a mage needs for the brew of a potion. In first place the "recipe" its pretty much a pre-requisite for brewing a potion. The willing mage needs to meet certain requisite as character for been able to brew the potion. This may be understanded as the access and comprehension from the brewer to the recipe of the potion in question. Depending on the potions rarity the mage will need to meet an specific class level (as higher the rarity higher the class level required). The representation of the recipes comes from potions teached on early years of Hogwarts passing by potions examinated on OWLs exams, NEWTs exams, specific or special Potioning Books to secret and lost legendary potions recipes.

The "components" works the same as material components mechanics works for certain spells wich are represented on a specific gold amount. Some examples of spells wich require material components with a cost are revivify, force cage or astral projection. And while some of this spells clarify their consume the cost material and others don't so you can reutilize them the potions brewed always consume their needed components. This means that each potion has both a sell price and a craft price. Where usually their craft price its the half of their selling price this does not maintain as a fundamental law. The price wich matters for brewing its the crafting one. This price represents the so named components of the potion as ingredients for the brew and materials used in the preparation (specific cualdrons for example). This means that each potion has specific list of ingredients wich are represented as a total value for their crafting. When you desire to brew a potion talk to your HM about the potion you wish to make, this way both of you work out either if your character can simply go to the nearest apothecary to buy the ingredients needed as the price listed or directly access a greenhouse to obtain them (maybe even for free). Or the specific ingredients needed for brewing the potion needs actually you to go out and obtain it by yourself actually involving a side quest for the group of players. This last case will be much more often on really rare and high valued potions than on the most simpler and common potions. However its up to your HM in the end as it owns the final word and can always tell you that you even are unable to buy or find the ingredients anywhere meaning you will not be able to try and brew your desired potion.

Finally the "preparation" mechanics are those who involve the time required for brewing and the tools and ability checks. All potions have a rarity wich determines their price and recipe level requirement. But also their rarity will determine the DC for the brewing check.

In any brewing of any difficulty will be three checks around the process. This will be represent stages of preparation known as: early, mid-time and final stages. This way it's a best-of-three contest where you need to succeed on at least two of the three checks to brew successfully the potion. There is only four regular rarities for potions however there is a fifth kind of potions who are special. Those kind of potions can only be brew by completing some special tasks (such as founding their lost recipe, gathering a very rare ingredient or experimenting on the cooking process) and most of the time will mean a side quest as a secondary arc into the game table story. The following table will show the DC and money needed for brewing a potion sorted by rarity:

Rarity Level Recipe Level Craft Price Sell Price Crafting Time Difficulty Class
Common 3 year 25 50 1 work day 10
Uncommon OWL 100 200 1 work week 15
Rare NEWT 1000 2000 3 work weeks 20
Very Rare Auror* 10000 20000 6 work weeks 25

*Auror is a reference for character or NPCs levels, other kind of characters of the same level also applies

A character willing to attempt to brew a potion who mets the recipe level and succeeds to gather the required components to meet the crafting price then its able to spend the crafting time brewing the potion. It has to make an Wisdom (Potion-Making) check against the DC settled by the rarity level of the potion. Succeding on at least two of the three needed checks means that the potion it's successfully brewed within the required crafting time. However in case of failling on more than one check then both ingredients and time are wasted and the potion has no magical property. If consumed its more likely to provoke a disease or poisoning for intoxication, more than anything.

Variant Rule

There some who may feel more inclined to give more relevance to the 20s and 1s for the brewing mechanics system. With the permission of the HM critical failures and successes may count as a double failure or a double succeed. Wich would also count for the degree of succeed rules.

Proficiency Combinations

Following some of the rule mechanics for tool proficiencies and their relation with skill checks explained on the chapter two of Xanathar's Guide to Everything book when it comes about brewing potions there is also rules for such potential combinations.

Proficiency with Potioneer's Kit its mandatory at the time of brewing potions. Whoever tries to brew a potion without this proper proficiency would make any ability check related to the brewing with disadvantage. In the case of Hogwarts classes of Potions its a different case scenario because there is a teacher who gives away instructions to their students and keeps an eye on their works during class to correct and guide them. This way the need of proficiency with the Potioneer's Kit for potion brewing its temporaly replaced.

When it comes about the combination of having both proficiency on Potioneer's Kit and Potion-making then any brewing check for a potion making its made with advantage. Also in case of having expertise on the Kit proficiency the brewing check would also double the proficiency bonus. However in the strange case of having expertise both on the Kit proficiency and the Potion-making skill the proficiency bonus under no circumstance its double-doubled. However the HM may consider granting one rate of succeed base making the character need to roll just two times and succeed only in one to brew the potion successfully. But this its entirely to the HM and under no reason its mandatory.

Besides that whenever a character witch proficiency on the Kit makes a History of Magic check related to potions or where potions have a relevant part of theme, then the HM may consider giving some extra information in case of success (or even failure). Same thing applies to checks of Medicine where what so ever aspect of medicine been studied or reasoned involves on a relevant way potions. Or Herbology too.

Potioneer's Kit

Potioneer's kit enables a character to brew usefull magical potions such as elixirs, poisons and mixtures.

Components. Potioneer's kit include a pewter cauldron, a set of sized spoons, a small knife, a glass stirring rod, a small mortar and pestle, three small beakers and a small cutting ingredients board.

History of Magic. Proficiency with potioneer's kit allows you to unlock more information on History of Magic checks involving potions and similar brews on a pertinent way.

Medicine. When you investigate a living or dead body trying to understand its actual metabolism and general state proficiency with potioneer's kit gives you extra insight if potions are involved.

Herbology. This tool proficiency grants additional information in any check related to discovering or recalling magical and non-magical plants properties for the purpose of brewing potions.

Potion brewing. You can use this kit proficiency for the purpose of brewing any kind of potions. Different difficulties and requisites must be met however.

Degree of Success

Its a well known fact that potions may vary on their results depending on the success of their brew. In other words this means that a same potion brewed differentely may have different results. Of course there is a standard point where any brew its considered well done because it accomplish their purposes. This means that a successful potion is that wich effects replicates the desired ones. However between successful potions there exist also variations on their success. As better brewed potions may be a more powerfull version of the original recipe and effects of the potion. This is represented as a degree of success and its directly dependant on the number of succesfull ability checks that a brewer has got while brewing the potion.

This sets a five rate of possible degree of success potentially. This will depend on your HM decision about using the variant rule for critical checks or not. If not still there will be two rates of degree of success.

Degree of Success Tier Checks Needed
Normal 2
Greater 3
Superior 4
Supreme 5
Excelsior 6

Whenever a successfull potion it's brewed above the normal tier the HM should roll on the extra beneficial properties table or choose an option listed on it accordingly to the tier achieved and grant it to the base properties of the brewed potion.

Greater Tier Properties

d6 Beneficial Effect
1 The potion recieves an extra +2 bonus modifier.
2 The potion recieves an extra dice to its effect.
3 The duration of the potion effect its extended by an 25% bonus.
4 In case of the potion effect needing a Saving Throw to resist their effects, the creature recieves a –2 penalty.
5 The well brew of the potion its so good and refined that its selling value increases by 25%
6 The duration of the potion effect its extended by an 50%

Superior Tier Properties

d4 Beneficial Effect
1 The potion recieves an extra +3 bonus modifier.
2 The potion recieves two extra dices to its effect.
3 In case of the potion effect needing a Saving Throw to resist their effects, the creature recieves a –3 penalty.
4 The well brew of the potion its so good and refined that its selling value increases by 50%

Supreme Tier Properties

d4 Beneficial Effect
1 The potion recieves an extra +4 bonus modifier.
2 In case of the potion effect needing a Saving Throw to resist their effect, the creature has disadvantage.
3 The duration of the potion effect its doubled.
4 Roll again in this table and once on the Superior Tier Properties table adding the effect.

Excelsior Tier Properties

d8 Beneficial Effect
1 The potion recieves an extra +5 bonus modifier.
2 The duration of the potion effect its doubled.
3 The refined result of the brew makes zero waste and the potion has one extra use.
4 The final brew its so pure and well done that its value its doubled.
5 If the potion requires a saving throw the target has disadvantage and a –2 penalty to the roll.
6 The potion recieves three extra dices to its effect.
7 Roll again in this table and once on the Superior Tier Properties table adding the effect.
8 Roll again in this table and once on the Supreme Tier Properties table adding the effect.

There is of course high chances where the rolled effect dont suit up with the kind of effect that the potion brings. In those cases we encourage the HM to re roll again or choose a more suitable extra property.

Handling Brew Checks Failures

When a brew goes badly and the results are so poor that the potion has not the desired effect this dont mean that the potion doesnt looks like a real well brewed one or has no effect at all. As already has been said a poorly brewed potion will be nothing else than an intoxicating poison or a very disgusting drink at the very best of looks. While it will still look like a potion specially if after the brew someone takes the bother to work around the result for a bit improving its "aspect". In the cases where the HM seems suitable the failed brew to looks like a well brewed one then a character must make a Wisdom (Potion-making) check against the brewers potion DC to realize the brew has no real effect for the purposes of a successfully brewed potion.

There also may be some cases where the brewer fails its brewing but the circumstances leave the feeling that the potion should have some kind of successful effect anyway. The most common scenarios of this situations are where the potion brewing results mandatory for the progress of the adventure in the game or when the gap between the recipe level of the potion and the brewer its too much in favor of the brewer. Seems very unlikely that the brewer will fail so much on making that potion as to have no effect at all than poisoning. Its in these cases where the HM may consider granting a successful brew but with a side effect or collateral property on the potion function.

Potion Side Effects

There are three possible outcomes for a not-so-well brewed potion effects. In all cases the potion has its normal function but there is a counterpart added.

  • Poisonous. The creature that drinks the potion must succeed on a Constitution Saving Throw or be poisoned by 1 minute.
  • Low Refinement. There exists a 50% chances that the potion has no effect neither good neither bad.
  • Diluted. The potion concentration its so poor that its full duration its halved or checks to resist their effect are made with advantage.

Potion Mechanics

There are many potions created through history with many different effects. However all of them can be categorized under the same group of parameters.

First of all we must start by defining what a potion is. Their most common meaning can be taken as magical mixtures brewed to create a number of magical effects on the drinker. They also can be tagged as the goal they pursue besides their rarity and difficult to brew. Some of this tags are: medicines, antidotes, solutions, poisons, philters or elixirs.

Medicines. Are pretty much self explanatory as they are potions wich effects seek to heal generally or specific aches of the drinker.

Antidotes. They are any potion specifically brewed to neutralize a poison. They are their counter part.

Solutions. These are brews that not needfully requires to be drank to have an effect. They are potions witch triggers by their own or in relation to the environment they inhabit or are dropped.

Poisons. As mention before they are the counter part of antidotes. Poisons are any potion that seeks to produce a detrimental effect on its drinker.

Philters. These are potions who creates an effect on its consumer related to someone else. Love philters are the most common example and in general philters demand as last ingredient a part of the bonding person wich the bonded one will be at the end of the drinking (a hair for example).

Elixirs. These are potions meant to enhance somehow or bring beneficial effects or properties to its drinker. Are among the most potent potions known some of them.

Also besides tags and rarities some potions may demand saving throws when their effects are triggered. In such cases the DC its calculated as the brewer's passive Potion-Making skill.

Reciping your own Potions

Nowadays its hard to find something a potion cant do. There are so many existing recipes that one person may tend to think there is any gap covered when its about potions ground. And even if its true that its hard to think on an effect for a potion that already doesnt exist its not impossible.

On such cases a player or a HM may desire to try and create a recipe of their own for a potion with a previously non-existing effect. It would be a very though, long and hard process and yet the reward and satisfaction will be thousand times better when all its finished.

First of all if a player wants to discover and invent its own original potion recipe it must consult and work out with the HM the whole process. It main involve for sure a series of side quest or even a main quest of its own. This section looks after give some guidance about the cryteria or steps to the mechanical creation of a new potion recipe but in the end its up entirely to the HM consideration always have this in mind.

It may be obvious but the following step its too decide wich effect or purpose will your potion have. Putting it on a different way: what will your potion do. It's important here to understand that if your potion will have the same or a really similar effect to an already existing potion then there is actually no reason to try and develop a full new recipe.

But if your potion overcomes the previously step what comes next its discuss with your HM the power level the potion would have. This way you can stablish its rarity and by setting this you will automatically have its reciping level, crafting time, selling and brewing prices and difficulty checks for preparation. For this the most secure choice will compare the desired effect with already existing potions and see on wich level this new recipe will be looking for the rarities of the compared potions.

You have your recipe ready now you may consider taking an extra step for think on the specific ingredients that will compound your potion. Also if you want you can let your imagination fly and write down a narrative step-by-step preparation process as real potion have.

Reciping Process

Once you and your HM have worked out the reciping structure and characteristics. Then you can start to develop your research. Remember that because you as a player have came out with an idea not needfully your character will have neither the wisdom, expertise or access to come out with a successful result.

Once your character starts doing its own research and experimentation process it will need a total amount of woork weeks to arrive on a conclusion depending on the reciping level of the desired potion. It will be a month of research for each reciping level the desired potion has. In wich the crafting expenses will be increased by a 50% as a result of experimenting wasting and not just brewing waste.

Once your character has completed this experimentation and researching process you may proceed to made a potion brewing contest doing regular potion brewing checks as when you try to brew a potion normally (see previously on this manual). The main difference here its the change on the conditions of success and degree of success results. Instead of needing just two of three checks you need the all of them for came to a correct research and crafting a brand new and original potion recipe. However in case of succeeding on two of the three only even if you fail you can expend extra time researching after this, equals to halve the whole amount already taken and try again the checks contest. In case of failing you arrive to non working conclussions and you need to drop the research.

Still you can retake later in the future your experimentation path and if still related to this process your HM may consider halving your time and expenses required for developing and conducting the research.

The DC for an experimentional potion recipe its one tier higher for its recipe level. Meaning if you want to research an OWL recipe level potion your DC = 20.

Extraordinary Potions

There are some who claim the potential of potioning to be infinite. And they are very much correct when you take a moment to look some of the most powerfull potions ever created such as the Elixir of Life or the Regeneration Potion. But besides the potential of raw direct potions there is a much more subtle aspect and this aspect its the flexibility and volatile capability of most brews. This is a more chemical approach to think the potions world but as lethal and catastrophic it may appear to be this subtle aspect where only one mistake can ruin your work of months and even make your cauldron explode provoking a mess used on your favor its a whole new level. Besides the degree of success already explained above that potions may have there are a multiple variable of aspects that in general potions may acquire if an enough competent brewer its behind their creation. Below are some of them listed.

Flobberworm Mucus

Flobberworms most famous usage its their mucus for potion brewing. This may be the perfect example to detail what we reefer when we talk about the potential of this subtle aspect in potions about flexibility and volatility. Any brew can be thickened by using and combining a finished potion with flobberworm mucus a really cheap and common ingredient that will gel the potions density.

A brewer only needs to succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom (Potion-making) check to successfully gel the potion with flobberworm mucus and this way extend the time it will take a potion to dry when exposed to the environment from 10 minutes to 1 hour. This is specially usefull with solutions but almost any cautious potioneer may gel their potions as this way even those without the solution tag are easier to measure when administered, precision leads to a more exact save of the brew making it last longer. Any potion with a number of "usages" may gain 1d4 extra usages.

Felix Felicis

Even as if Felix Felicis potion may be sipped in parts to administered on a more comfort way their consumption they can gain the benefit of extra usages by been thicken with flobberworm mucus. Because the property of the potion was no usages, you can just part its effect on periods of time still having the same maximum time span of use.

Everlasting Elixirs

The Everlasting Elixirs are a certain type of potions with an enchantment during the final stage of its brewing process. When a certain potion its on the final stage a skilled potioneer may choose to add a combined sort of ingredients trying to enchant the potion with the everlasting effect. And when the potion its finished and bottled it may finish this process by enchanting the container bonding the liquid with it forever. This way while even at least a drop of the potion remains inside of it after 24 hours it will replenish fully with the same potion.

Any brewer who may attempt to enchant its potion with an everlasting elixir effect must announce it before starting the brewing. It will increase the crafting price of the potion by 50 galleons proportionally and the Brewing DC by 10.

The brewing process will continue as normal under the new conditions and in case of successfully checking during the brew then the potion will gain the everlasting elixir effect. Also its important to point that despite the rarity of the potion no potioneer under the OWL level may attempt to craft and Everlasting Elixir. Additionally no potion of legendary rarity may be brewed as an Everlasting Elixir. Finally you cant benefit from advantage when trying to brew and Everlasting Elixir by any means except the Inspiration mechanic.

Everlasting Elixirs Table
Potion Rarity Crafting Price Selling Value DC
Common 75 250 20
Uncommon 200 500 25
Rare 1150 5000 30
Very Rare 20200 50000 35
