[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 7766912, member: 82779"] Alcoholic was only an example of changes beyond the container, and the container itself was also only an example. Let me be more direct: my game world doesn't use video game logic. Healing potions aren't always red (though some are), potions that restore spell points aren't always blue (though some are), and potions aren't always glittery (though some are). Let me also be thorough: when the players encounter a potion whose appearance I haven't predetermined, [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?427582-Spicing-Up-Potions&p=6552513&styleid=16"]I use the tables I shared here.[/URL] Does it now become clear? Edit: Yes, the style guide applies to the Forgotten Realms. Yet another thing to make that setting unappealing to me. It's a shame simplicity rules over mystery and wonder, over the excitement of discovery, and over rewarding players who recall the qualities of potions they previously encountered. [/QUOTE]
