Potions are for cheaters! d12 Potion Side FX
Potions are drugs and if you used them in pro sport you’d probably be a cheat and fined.
Do good people do potions?
Various expansions for The Lost City had some cool side fx for Cyndacean potions, which are awesome. You could use this table for cheap potions or enemy potions. Some side effects are species-specific so goblins might carry potions hostile to humans or elves.
