[QUOTE="Pax, post: 1666859, member: 6875"] All too true. Me, IMC ... I allow any first-to-third level spell to be made in "potion" form. And I don't count metamagiclevels towards that (so, yes, you canget a potion of [i]maximised cure moderate wounds[/i], though it'll be pricey). Not only that, but "potion" doesn't have to mean "drinkable liquid in a tiny vial". A pill/pastille, a packet of powder to add to a cup of water or wine, a salve or ointment ... whatever seems appropriate, fits the player's desires, and so on. Themechancis of use remain the same - though the packet of powder logically would take more time to get ready and then use, so I *might* give it a small price discount and/or other benefit - say, 10% and, sans supply of liquid(s), half normal encumbrance for carrying it. Useful for post-battle healing potions, perhaps. ^_^ If the spell is hostile in nature, you throw the "potion" at your intended victim (think "tanglefoot bag" / "alchemist's fire" / &c), and make a ranged touch attack to get the potion to have effect. Thus, "potion of magic missile" wouldn't be very useful ... but a "potion of melf's acid arrow" might be ... an acidic, longer-lasting, truly [i]magical[/i] version of alchemist's fire. But anyway ... I'll stop this threadjack right now. If anyone else wants to banter with me about the relative merits of Brew Potion in RAW versus "Pax's way" forms, just post in House Rules, and drop a pointer here in this thread so I'll know you've done so. ^_^ [/QUOTE]
