The Roleplaying Game of Heroic Adventure in the - Mazes ...

Golden Apples
These rare magical apples can only be found on
special magical trees - which only grow on a few
magical islands.
Each time a character takes a golden apple from its
tree and eats one of these wonderful fruits, he
receives one of the following gifts. The gift must be
chosen by the character himself – but the same gift
can only be received once in an entire lifetime.
Strength: Gain 1d3 points of Might.
Dexterity: Gain 1d3 points of Skill.
Cleverness: Gain 1d3 points of Wits.
Fortune: Gain 1d3 points of Luck.
Willpower : Gain 1d3 points of Will.
Comeliness: Gain 1d3 points of Grace.
All attribute gains are permanent and cannot bring
an attribute over 18.
These fruits lose their magical power once they fall
from their tree. When such trees are met, there will
be 1d6 trees, each holding 1d6 edible apples.
Hydra Head Potion
When the user imbibes this rare and costly potion,
extra heads sprout from his shoulders. One extra
head is grown per dose consumed, which lasts for
one hour.
Each head beyond the first adds one opponent to
the creature’s maximum number of opponents per
round. Each extra head also gives +1 to the
character’s Initiative score and detection mod,
making him more difficult to surprise.
A pair of human shoulders cannot support more
than 3 heads. Each dose taken beyond this limit will
simply inflict 1d6 Hits of damage to the drinker.
Also note that each extra head gives a -4 penalty to
Personal Charisma (and makes it impossible to
pass incognito).
When found, Hydra Head Potion usually comes in a
a small bottle containing 1d6 doses.
Hyperborean Beer
Each cup of this thick, golden-brown beer restores 1
Hit to the drinker, up to his starting Hits total.
Each time a character drinks a cup of hyperborean
beer, roll 1d6. If the result is 6, he suffers heavy
intoxication and immediately loses 1d6 Hits – and
will be unable to drink more Hyperborean beer for a
number of days equal to the number of Hits lost.
Barbarians are immune to this unfortunate sideeffect
and can swallow unlimited quantities of this
liquid (of which they are usually quite fond).
This beer is generally found in barrels that contain
the equivalent of 24 cups.
Lethe Water
Hydra Head Potion in Action!
Drinking a single dose of this magical water will
cause the immediate loss of one class level (and all
related bonuses and benefits) unless a Mystic
Fortitude roll is made.
Level 1 characters cannot be reduced below their
current level but will suffer complete amnesia,
forgetting all details about their personal lives
(friends, family, their own names).
Lethe Water is generally found in small phials
containing 1d3 doses.
Mead of Poseidon
Each dose of this greenish brew gives the ability to
breathe and speak under water for the next hour.
Multiple doses will increase duration accordingly.
This drink is generally found in the form of small
amphoras that contain the equivalent of 6 doses.
Mead of the Muses
This magical, beer-like, honey-tasting brew can help
a tired Lyrist to refresh his poetic inspiration – but it
is also extremely intoxicating.
Each cup of the mead restores 2d6 Power points to
the Lyrist, without exceeding his regular total – but if
the rolled points do take the character’s Power
above its maximum, he will immediately collapse
and fall into a deeply enchanted sleep for a number
of hours equal to the number of points in excess.
Moreover, each hour of this enchanted, Meadinduced
sleep will cause the loss of 1d6 Power
points, as the Muses take back what they have
given to the hapless poet…
When found, the Mead of the Muses usually comes
in a small phial or flask containing the equivalent of
1d6 cups. If drunk by a character other than a Lyrist,
the Mead will have the standard effects of alcohol.
