Potions is a Intelligence skill.

What it covers

Brew mundane alchemical potions, remedies, tonics, antidotes, and temporary enhancement draughts (agility, vigor, senses) from real ingredients; identify herbs; extract essences.

Progression

Level	Unlock	Feat	Effect
2	Novice feat choice (pick one)	No Potions	Eating a raw ingredient triggers your strange metabolism: roll on an unpredictable table of outcomes. Most are good, a burst of healing or a fleeting boon, but a few turn sour into a mild ill effect. Separately, this is always in force: any refined potion, tincture, or brewed draught you drink does nothing helpful and instead saddles you with a minor adverse effect.
		The Guzzler	You throw back a draught in an instant. Drinking a potion costs you no real pause, you can quaff and keep acting in the same breath, and nothing short of a solid physical blow can interrupt you mid-gulp. Years of greedy drinking also mean you wring a little extra out of every dose: each potion you drink restores a small amount of bonus health as Guzzler Vigor.
		Stranger Danger	Your instincts immediately warn you if the substance contains poison, harmful toxins, or dangerous alchemical properties. This grants automatic success on detecting danger but does not identify specific effects or safe properties.
3	Passive bonus	Poison resistance bonus
4	Mastery bonus	+1 to Potions rolls
6	Adept feat choice (pick one)	Blade Venom	Any potion you carry can serve as a venom: smear it along your edge and the blade itself becomes the delivery. Coating grants Coated Blade: your next 5 landed strikes each leave the target Envenomed, draining health every 6 seconds for 18 seconds, with the damage growing as your proficiency rises. A miss spends nothing.
		Metabolize	Your body breaks the toxin down for parts: the poison's grip never takes hold, and you even recover a little, gaining Metabolized (1d6 health). You still feel mild nausea for a few seconds.
		Healthy Dose	When you rest or drink a potion, your accelerated regeneration restores extra health, granting Rapid Recovery (1d6).
7	Passive bonus	Fire resistance bonus
8	Mastery bonus	+1 to Potions rolls
10	Expert feat choice (pick one)	Vivisectionist's Mark	All hostiles within 60 feet are Vivisected for 5 minutes: -50 poison resistance.
		Mutagen Draught	Gain armor and evasion for 5 minutes, scaled by potion rarity: +10/+10 COMMON, +15/+15 UNCOMMON, +20/+20 RARE, +25/+25 EPIC, +30/+30 LEGENDARY+. Additional +2 armor and +2 evasion per proficiency point. +10 maximum health at RARE and above.
		Explosive Concoction	Consumes 1 random potion. Primary target + up to 3 hostiles within 30 feet take damage split between blunt and fire: 2d6 COMMON, 3d6 UNCOMMON, 4d6 RARE, 6d6 EPIC, 8d6 LEGENDARY, 10d6 MYTHIC, +1d6 per 2 proficiency. Dexterity save (DC 14) halves.
