I 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. |

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. |
