D&D General How many healing potions do you give your party?

[Tonguez]

PCs get medical kits instead

I rarely give them out in adventures. My party generally makes their own or purchases them. Particularly with their Bastions able to produce them.

Depends on group composition.

I have even given out reusable/refilling healing potions.

I have made a 1/day potion that refills to get the players to use them and not just save them for 'just in case'. But this was in a smaller party with no healer.

I voted Rare. But the real answer is however many they can get off opponents they’ve defeated before they were used.

 

[AlViking]

As many as they want and can afford. I don't really care about regular potions of healing, any decent sized city is going to have them and they can always craft them. Greater healing potions are available in larger cities.

I really don't worry about things like this, I rarely provide magical treasure, I just give out treasure instead and let them buy from a curated list of magic items. Potions of healing, even if using them only take a bonus action, will never keep up with the damage being dealt in my games.

 

[SkidAce]

Herbalists can make them.

So "I" dont give any, PCs either make or loot them.

If you consider the OP to mean how many I put in treasure, I voted Rare, but often its Very Rare.

They're not super rare - most herbalists sell them and have a few on hand, and I plant them on a fair number of BBEGs to help keep them alive. So if they don't get a chance to use them then the party of course loots the potions. I checked and right now there are three in the party.
