Aging (or not)

[Khaalis]

The name Potion of Longevity implied to me that the user would stop aging, not that he'd age down some number of years. Would it be significantly worse for the potion to halt the aging process for however many years, rather than actually de-aging the user?

This is another way to utilize the potion, and in fact would make more sense and remove the ability of the potion to be used for "ill". It just isnt how the original potion was designed, and that was all I did originally was post the old 2E potion, modified to 3E with suggestions for boots.

However, considering there are no "age attacks" in 3E the ability to "Reverse Age" is really unneccesary, though there is a call for magic that will prolong life. However, I think this should make the potions more expensive since there is no risk of "over-reduction" in age.

Thus I would suggest the following:

Potion of Longevity (Minor)
This potion dramatically slows the character's aging process. The character remains at the current age at which they imbibe this potion, for the next 1d12 years. The entire potion must be consumed to achieve the desired results. Each time one drinks a Potion of Longevity the imbiber must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 5, +1 for each previous application of a Potion of Longevity). A failed saving throw results in the effect reversing all previous aging reductions, bringing the character suddenly to their normal physical age.
