Potions

The Alchemy talent allows ponies to brew magical potions that have specific effects. They can roll the dice to get a random potion, but when they do so the potion is only stable until it is used or until the Alchemist who created it makes another. You can also brew potions using specific ingredients, which in turn yeilds more shelf-stable potions that don't degrade when you make another. Sometimes some potions can be found in marketplaces, too! When crafted, potions have the potency of your Alchemy talent. If they are discovered as a treasure, the GM may roll a d4 for potency: 1=d4, 2=d6, 3=d8, 4=d10

Note that this page expands the Alchemy talent beyond the core rules.
