Alchemical Liquids, Notes on
Alchemical liquids are unrelated to the Alchemy
skill in Chapter 8: Skills. Alchemical liquids,
even of the same magical effect or name, tend to be
different each time. Therefore, if a particular
spellcaster makes 2 Elixirs of Life, they are likely to
be different in color and odor. Hence, experimenting
with alchemical liquids in attempts to determine
their nature can prove dangerous and is often futile
or misleading.
Warning: Do not mix alchemical liquids, as
the mere contact of the 2 liquids necessitates a roll
on Appendix 3: Random Magical Effects.
Alchemical, Oils
Oils are magical liquids that must be thickly
applied to a creature or object to enact the magical
effects. Thoroughly coating the object with the alchemical
oil is usually necessary.
Oftentimes, the entire body must be covered
for the magical oil to function correctly. Anakim
require 15 vials or fluid ounces of oil, bugbears require
8 vials, humans require 5, kobolds only 4 vials,
ogres 25, and trolls 15 vials. It is not fully possible
to apply the oil to oneself; someone else must do it.
Applying the oil thoroughly takes roughly an hour,
2 for an ogre.
Chapter 13: Magical Items
Alchemical, Elixirs
Elixirs may be substances capable of transmuting
metals into gold and prolonging life or a cureall.
The imbiber of the elixir experiences magical
effects.
01-25 Elixir of Gold: Whosoever
imbibes this elixir may notice the magical
conversion of 1d12 ounces of metal in immediate
fleshly contact with the imbiber into
gold. According to ancient trollish records,
there once was a king who favored this elixir
named Midas.
26-50 Elixir of Healing Sleep:
Whososever imbibes this elixir is forced to
fall asleep for 1d8 hours. Upon awakening,
the imbiber has recovered all Life Points.
This was the best sleep the imbiber ever experienced.
51-75 Elixir of Life: Whosoever
imbibes this elixir is fully revived, recovering
all Life Points. Regardless of the total
potential number of Life Points of the imbiber,
and regardless of how wounded the
imbiber may be, the imbiber recovers all LP.
Additional Elixirs of Life do not increase
LP beyond normal potential.
76-100 Elixir of Years: Whosoever
imbibes this elixir does not age for 1d20
years.
01-25 Oil of Armor: Upon applying
this oil to one’s unarmored body, each
vial bestows protection. The entire body
must be covered for it to function correctly.
Once the entire body is covered, CA increases
by 1d10 for 1d4 hours.
26-50 Oil of Lubrication: This oil
provides friction-free lubrication between
any 2 surfaces for a duration of 1d4 hours.
51-75 Oil of Ontendan: Whosoever
has their body entirely covered by this
oil will be able to ignite the oil without being
burned, and will be immune to all fire
while the oil is wet. The oil will dry within
1d4 hours, and the flames, if ignited, will
extinguish as it dries. This oil burns a different
color and intensity depending on its age.
The older the oil, the more brightly it burns
and the longer are the flames. Roll 1d1000
to determine its age in years. The oil will
range from looking like natural fire (age 1
year) to flourescent green (age 1,000).
76-100 Oil of Poison Oak: Upon
applying this oil to one’s body, each vial
seems to have no effect. However, 3 hours
after application, the oil creates itchy welts
everywhere the oil contacts skin. For 4 days,
Initiative suffers a - 20 penalty, Bodily Attractiveness
and Facial Charisma suffer - 30,
and the character is compelled to itch constantly.
