Potion of Climbing

This Potion of Climbing, when consumed, grants the imbiber temporary climbing abilities. The potion enhances the user's agility and grip, allowing them to ascend surfaces with ease for a limited duration. The inclusion of magical and natural elements in the recipe ensures a harmonious blend of properties that aid in climbing.

Rule:

When you drink this potion, you gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed for 1 hour. During this time, you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks you make to climb. The potion is separated into brown, silver, and gray layers resembling bands of stone. Shaking the bottle fails to mix the colors.
