PDFI haven’t forgotten that I owe a table of NPC motivations. I’m still working on it, which is probably overthinking, but I have to go through that stage with everything first.
For now:
TheJollyLlama875 says:
Alchemical item mishaps! As many as you can think of.
OK, first of all: nice Animaniacs reference. Now:
I’ve interpreted this to mean this is what happens when you drink a potion is made by a new or feckless alchemist, mage or witch. I can only type in twenty, as the potion I just drank is rather strong.
| Alchemical Item Mishaps | |
| roll d20 | Effect |
| 1 | potion is undrinkably bitter. no effect. |
| 2 | potion is sweet, attracts 10d100 angry killer bees. |
| 3 | tastes great, less filling. Has no effect. |
| 4 | piss fire for 1d6 weeks. (okay, I know what you’re thinking. 1d3 damage short range missile attack thrice per day for male characters. cone attack for females) |
| 5 | potion works, but rots all your teeth out instantly, no save. (had dreams of this one? me too.) |
| 6 | potion works, but you are drunk (-8 dex, -3 saves) for 1d6 hours. |
| 7 | fails. aphrodisiac combined with not-choosey-at-all effect. |
| 8 | works. crossed eyes for 1d6 days. |
| 9 | doesn’t work, but 1d6 pixies fall in love with you and will follow you around for a week. |
| 10 | potion is perfect acid. eats though container, floor, goes to center of the planet when brewed. |
| 11 | works. flowers grow from every orifice for 1-3 weeks. |
| 12 | no noticable effect. become addicted to next potion you drink. |
| 13 | break out with acne everywhere until cure disease. -2 penalty to charisma. |
| 14 | potion works, but you now think you are some historical or legendary figure (a silly one) |
| 15 | the potion was harboring an earworm! minus two to anything involving intelligence for the next 1d8 hours. |
| 16 | a small head grows on the back of our neck and speaks very personal prophecy to anyone who talks to it. |
| 17 | everything between 15 and 100 feet from you is hit by a level 8 fireball spell |
| 18 | no one will believe you swallowed a liquid demon, but you are indeed possessed. |
| 19 | grow four extra arms below your regular ones. |
| 20 | you have reverse esp for 4 hours. anyone who looks at you knows your every thought. save or reveal any secrets or hidden notivations to any pc or npc that looks at you. |
