'''[[Potions]]''' are [[Consumables]] that restore [[Hit Points]] or grant other [[Condition|Effects]] when consumed.


== Using Potions ==
[[File:Alchemy Potions Menu.png|300px|thumb|A list of potions in the alchemy window.]]
Potions can be consumed using a '''{{action|bonus}}''' to grant an effect to a single creature.


Many potions can also be thrown using the {{SmallIcon|Throw Icon.png}} '''[[Throw]] {{action}}''' to grant - or inflict - the same effect on multiple creatures, typically in a 1m / 3ft radius.
{{hatnote|This page is about consumable items listed as Potions on the Alchemy tab. For a list of weapon coatings, see [[Coatings]]. For a list of Elixirs, see [[Elixirs]]. For a full list of liquid consumables, see [[Alchemy]].}}


== List of Potions ==
'''Potions''' are [[Consumables]] that can restore [[Hit Points]], cure [[Conditions]], or to grant a variety of other [[Condition|Effects]] when consumed. These effects can range from gaining extra actions in combat, speaking to animals, or even gaining the benefit of [[Long Rest]] without resting.

*Potions can be consumed using a '''{{action|bonus}}''' to grant an effect to a single creature.
Utility Potions have a variety of helpful - or harmful - effects when consumed.
*While all potions can be thrown using the {{SmallIcon|Throw Icon.png}} '''[[Throw]] {{action}}''' only some are able to inflict the potions effect on multiple creatures, other potions simply have no effect if used in such a manner.

A list of potions in the alchemy window.
This page is about consumable items listed as Potions on the Alchemy tab. For a list of weapon coatings, see Coatings. For a list of Elixirs, see Elixirs. For a full list of liquid consumables, see Alchemy.

Potions are Consumables that can restore Hit Points, cure Conditions, or to grant a variety of other Effects when consumed. These effects can range from gaining extra actions in combat, speaking to animals, or even gaining the benefit of Long Rest without resting.

Potions can be looted, bought from vendors, or crafted with the Alchemy system.

How Potions Work[edit | edit source]

  • Potions can be consumed using a Bonus action to grant an effect to a single creature.
  • While all potions can be thrown using the Throw Action only some are able to inflict the potions effect on multiple creatures, other potions simply have no effect if used in such a manner. Unlike Coatings, the effects of Potions do not lose any effectiveness when thrown.
  • While most potions grant beneficial effects, there are some specific potions that inflict negative status effects and as such are more useful when used as Grenades rather than consumed such as Potion of Sleep.
