RPG Items: 3 Potions

Updated: Jan 16, 2023

Here are three potions with an outdoor theme. Ideal for finding and/ or using in wilderness or underground encounters



Tremor Sense Potion


The potion of Tremor Sense is a yellow, syrupy liquid that, when consumed, grants the drinker the ability to sense vibrations in rock and stone. This allows them to gain advantage on perception checks and a +1 bonus to initiative when moving on rock or stone surfaces within 60 feet of them. The potion is said to be made from rare herbs and minerals found deep in underground caves and mines.


When the potion is imbibed, the drinker's body begins to tingle, as if tiny earthquakes are happening all around them. Their senses become heightened, and they can sense even the smallest vibrations in the rock and stone around them. This allows them to detect hidden passages, traps, and even creatures that may be lurking in the shadows.


The potion's effects last for 1 hour, giving the drinker enough time to explore underground caves and mines, or to navigate treacherous mountain trails. However, it is important to note that the potion only works on rock and stone surfaces, and will not grant any benefits on other types of terrain.


Key attributes:

  • Grants the drinker Tremor Sense for 1 hour

  • Advantages on perception checks and +1 to initiative when moving on rock or stone surfaces within 60 feet

  • Made from rare herbs and minerals found deep in underground caves and mines

  • Only effective on rock and stone surfaces

  • Rarity: Rare

  • Yellow syrupy liquid

  • Guide Buying Price: 100-150 gold pieces

  • Guide Selling Price: 50-75 gold pieces


Potion of Keen Scent


The potion of Keen Scent is a green liquid that, once the bottle is opened, it turns into a thick, green vapor. When inhaled, the potion heightens the user's sense of smell, giving them a +1 bonus to their passive perception for 1 hour. This allows them to detect even the faintest of scents, making it easier for them to track and locate their quarry.


The potion's effects are particularly useful for tracking known individuals. If the user has an item of clothing or something similar belonging to the person they want to track, they can use the potion to track them if they have been in the area within the last day. The user's sense of smell becomes so acute that they can follow a person's trail even if it's several hours old.


However, it's important to note that the potion's effects are temporary and the user will suffer some ill effects once the potion wears off. Their sense of smell will be temporarily heightened, making it hard for them to bear strong smells, and they may experience a headache or nausea.


Key attributes

  • Green liquid that turns into vapour when bottle is opened

  • Consuming potion heightens the user's sense of smell giving +1 to passive perception for 1 hour

  • Allows the user to track a person if they have an item of clothing or something similar belonging to the person and if they have been in the area within the last day

  • After effect include temporary heightened sense of smell, headache and nausea

  • Rarity: Rare

  • Guide Buying Price: 100-150 gold pieces

  • Guide Selling Price: 50-75 gold pieces


Potion of Rainfall


The potion of Rainfall is a small, clear bottle with a intricate metal tiled pattern around it, filled with a shimmering blue liquid. When the bottle is opened and placed on the ground, a light rain will start to fall within a 30-foot diameter for 1d10 + 15 minutes. The water is clear and safe to drink, wash, and use for other purposes. Once the contents of the potion are spent, the bottle will refill itself within 24 hours.


The potion is particularly useful in desert or arid regions where water is scarce. It can also be used to grow crops in areas with poor soil, or to put out small fires. However, it's important to note that the potion's effects are localized and will not affect the weather in the surrounding area.


Key attributes:

  • When opened it creates a light rain within 60 feet diameter for 1d10 + 15 minutes

  • Water is safe to drink, wash and use for other purposes

  • Bottle refills itself within 24 hours

  • Rarity: Rare

  • Buying Price: 200-300 gold pieces

  • Selling Price: 100-150 gold pieces
