Canned, Carbonated and Bottled Potions...

Carnifex

First Post
When pondering the interesting way that d20 Modern uses mundane modern items in interesting ways for magical items (like duct tape of repair, etc) during my last Planescape session, I hit upon an interesting idea... potions and their ilk in more up to date containers. And hence we have things like:

Coke of Healing: A tasty carbonated healing beverage in a can :D All your hero has to do is open it up and swig it down.

Bacardi Breezer of Blur: Usually when you drink an alchoholic drink, it's you that gets blurry vision. But with this enchanted liquid it's everyone else who sees you blurrily.

Red Bull of Flight: It quite literally gives you wings, letting you fly for a short duration.

Enchanted Energy Drink: A combo potion, this boosts your Strength and Constitution temporarily when drunk.

Bottled Iron: The label advertises it as being high in vitamins & iron content. What this actually means is that it boosts natural armour when drunk.

Lots of other possibilities too. This would especially work well in an Urban Arcana, with specialist item creators of Shadow tryiung to integrate themselves into the modern world and sell their potions in an outwardly normal guide :)

Whadya think? :D

I like it, except that the stuff would be mass produced.

maybe I'm just grumpy and need a red bull.

I think that you'd want to take this as a home brewing sort of thing -- make beer of flight, ale of healing, mead of invisibility. I supposed you could make cider of bull's strength and lemonade of cat's grace, but you'd want to be creating it in batches that could reasonably be created by an artificer working in his shop.
