Poisons and Potion Failures

Sometimes a spell doesn't quite go as expected. Sometimes a food you ate wasn't good food. Sometimes a potion backfires. Here's a list of some potential effects that may be encountered if something goes awry:

Potion Failures:

  1. The bottle begins to overflow, and just won't stop! It continues to pour out a foamy bubbly broth until the floor is covered in a slippery bubble bath.
  2. The potion poofs out an explosion of heat and smoke. (the bottle is undamaged)

Magical Effects:

  1. You are now covered from head to hoof in silly multicolored polka dots.
  2. You feel compelled to belch, and the more you suppress it, the more difficult it is to resist. Every time you do, it comes out as a pitch-perfect rendition of the alphabet song.
  3. You are now unable to speak unless you can do so in rhyme.
  4. Your mane resembles and tastes like licorice.
  5. You are compelled to say everything that crosses your mind, however embarrassing it may be.
  6. Your outward appearance becomes monochrome. You find yourself unable to see in color.
  7. Your connection to gravity reduced.. by a lot. You can now jump super high, but this also means that simply walking is incredibly difficult. All movement actions now take twice as long. You can jump 4x as high, but aiming where you will go is going to be a bit difficult.

Food Poisoning Effects:

  1. Somebody seems to be messing with gravity. Your ability to walk has been severely impacted and your body rolls are now reduced to d4. Walking is now DC 2.
  2. Your head feels.. fuzzy? You're not quite sure if you're floating or not. Body and Mind traits are now downgraded / at disadvantage.
  3. Your stomach hurts a bit, but worse still, your breath reeks! Your Charm is now downgraded / at disadvantage.
  4. Whatever was in there, it's making you tired! Lose 1 stamina every ten minutes until you find a place to rest, to a maximum of 5 stamina loss.
