And thank you for the critique. my original reason for making most of the tonics cost 1 action was to reflect the preparation inherent in the monster hunting lifestyle--thinking back to that witcher 1 trailer against the striga (can't post video links yet). I imagined many of the tonics being consumed right before battle. It does make many of the potions less than useful in an ambush or an 'oh crap' moment, though. I've actually been thinking of a potential solution to this--let me know if this might work, if you've got a moment. Adding the option to increase a tonic's toxicity by 1 to reduce the action cost. For example, say the character gets ambushed by a werewolf with a nasty bite attack. He knows the Blackblood tonic would be useful, but he wants to jump into combat right away. So he increases his toxicity by 4, rather than the usual 3, to consume a Blackblood tonic as a bonus action, allowing him to enter combat immediately. Would that address the issue?Thanks again for your feedback! I've been reading through your 5e Witcher setting and it's really great. Your witcher class looks really solid. I also really like how you handle the witcher potions--fairly different than what I put together, and really elegant.edit: after some thinking, I think I'll just make them all bonus actions to use, as you suggested, and scrap the idea of increasing toxicity by 1.</blockquote>
