Healing Potions

Post Thu Feb 23, 2012 7:09 pm

Just wondering how others use/interpret healing potions.

Do you give it the same properties as a Cure Light Wounds/Cure Serious Wounds spell and have it cure a variable amount of hit points or do you have it cure a set number of hit points? Or do you give it other properties entirely?

I've also seen a fairly large discrepancy in the price of healing potions. I know this has been discussed before but I have seen a MSRP as low as 20 gp in the Beneath Brymassen adventure and as high as 400gp in a couple of different threads here in the forums.

In my current game I have the price set at 250gp which I picked as kind of a happy medium but I am just wondering what others do.
The problem with doing something really stupid to impress people is that they may just be impressed by how stupid you really are.

I do it the same as a CLW. As for pricing, according to the book, its all about volume :). If you can get a high level cleric to make a bunch at a time, it drives the price down.

I adjust the price depending on who the PCs are trying to buy the potions from, what they are going to do for or have done for that person(or church/temple) and how much gold I want to relieve the party of. :D

Actually, I'm going to consider that an error in Brymassen. I'll have a look at it sometime.
