[QUOTE="Janx, post: 2381668, member: 8835"] odds are good, any shop will label its potions before selling them. This ensures they sell the right potion. Most normal sane folk will label their potion correctly, not wanting to risk their own health on grabbing the wrong potion. Few would actually put a false label on (and as a GM, the trick would wear thin, you've got to get the PCs used to accurate potion labeling, before you can pull the ol'wrong label trick on them). Consider how many of you would peel the labels off all the seasonings in your kitchen? How many of you would then put a blue dot on the paprika, and 3 red dots on the oregano? How many of you would remember what was what? Yeah, didn't think so. People label their little vials so they don't screw up and quaff a Reduce potion when they needed a CLW potion and end up dying in the middle of combat due to their own stupidity. Janx [/QUOTE]
