Spell Compendium Potion List

Last Updated: March 26, 2019

Potion Rules:

  • any 3rd-level or lower spell that has a casting time of less than 1 minute and that targets one or more creatures.
  • base price of a potion is its spell level × its caster level × 50 gp.
  • When you create a potion, you make any choices that you would normally make when casting the spell.
  • Whoever drinks the potion is the target of the spell.
  • The drinker of a potion is both the effective target and the caster of the effect
  • The person applying an oil is the effective caster, but the object is the target.
  • Drinking a potion or using an oil on an item of gear is a standard action.
  • The imbiber of the potion is both the caster and the target; therefore, spells such as shield other cannot be stored in potion form.
  • Spells with a range of personal cannot be made into potions, so spells such as shield never exist in potion form.
