Potion

A potion contains a single use of a specific spell.

Potions can be created using the brew potion feat.

Potion of Antidote

This tonic is sovereign against venoms, mineral toxins, diseases, and poisons of all sorts.

• Cast spell: neutralize poison (caster level 5) (single use)

Potion of Barkskin

This thick concoction smells dark and musty, like a forest after heavy rains.

• Cast spell: barkskin (caster level 3) (single use)

Notes

• Potions can only be used on the player's character; they cannot target a location or item. For example, a bless potion will cast bless centered on the user (allies in the area of effect will still benefit), but it cannot target a location on the ground or a crossbow bolt in inventory like the normal bless spell.
• If the difficulty setting "hardcore" or higher, drinking a potion incurs an attack of opportunity.
• Potions can be "fed" to an associate by dropping the potion from the player inventory onto either the associate's portrait or their representation in the 3D game environment.
  • Some spells were scripted to target the caster and will not work as expected when used this way, as they will target the player's character rather than the associate. The impacted spells that a builder can assign to potions are aura of glory, blood frenzy, camouflage, divine favor, elemental shield, entropic shield, globe of invulnerability, identify, minor globe of invulnerability, one with the land, shield, Tenser's transformation, and true strike. Other potions that cannot be assigned by a builder are listed in the brew potion article.
  • Fed potions use the player's character as the caster. This is relevant, for example, when domains could affect the spell. It also means that any attacks of opportunity will be on the player's character, not the associate.
  • Fed potions with subspells automatically choose the first variant (topmost option in the radial menu).

Builder notes

• Regarding use of potions by dropping onto associates: Spell scripts using OBJECT_SELF as the target, rather than GetSpellTargetObject(), will target the PC instead of than the associate.
