Notes

• As it is an elixir, its effects do not stack with other elixirs. Consuming another elixir overwrite this effect.
• This elixir cannot be used to lower a character's strength.
• The alchemy recipe for this potion can be learned by manually extracting 3 Hill Giant Fingers.
• As the 21 strength provided by this elixir lasts until long rest, it is arguably one of the more useful in the game for fighter types until the Elixir of Cloud Giant Strength becomes available. Upon acquiring sufficient quantities of this elixir, characters can be safely respecced with 8 Strength and have ability score points and feats which might be used on strength allocated elsewhere. For example:
  • Stat points may be reallocated to Dexterity, Constitution, or Intelligence
  • Ability score improvement feats may instead be used on  Alert,  Lucky or  Tavern Brawler
