Potions
Note! This is Sebai legacy content for Dungeons and Dragons 5e and is no longer applicable to our Pathfinder 2e game. I simply keep it around in case I ever run 5e again. Refer to Archives of Nethys for potion stats.
Listed below are different potions found in Sebai that can be used to achieve a variety of effects. These are available to you through magic shops that exist in most Sebanese cities. As a general rule of thumb, uncommon items can be found in all cities marked on Sebai’s world map and rare items can be found in Sebai’s capitol cities. Very rare and legendary items are typically unavailable to purchase and are generally only found while adventuring. Some items will be listed as illegal next to their rarity. These items can still be found in cities, but they are not available at reputable stores. Players must search for them in less savory areas, instead. All items have a minimum character level requirement to use them.
Note that potions require an action to use.
Alchemist's Fire
Level 3; Price 45 gpRarity Uncommon
This sticky, adhesive fluid ignites when exposed to air. As an action, you can throw this flask up to 30 feet, shattering it on impact. Make a ranged attack against a creature or object, treating the alchemist's fire as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target takes 2d4 fire damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can end this damage by using its action to make a DC 10 Dexterity check to extinguish the flames.

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.

Vial of Acid
Level 3; Price 30 gpRarity Uncommon
As an action, you can splash the contents of this vial onto a creature within 5 feet of you or throw the vial up to 30 feet, shattering it on impact.

Applying the oil takes 10 minutes. The affected creature then gains the effect of a freedom of movement spell for 8 hours. Alternatively, the oil can be poured on the ground as an action, where it covers a 10-foot square, duplicating the effect of the grease spell in that area for 8 hours.
Potion of Animal Friendship

A creature hit by the poisoned weapon or ammunition must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 1d6 poison damage. The poison continues to deal damage to the target at the start of each of its turns for the next minute. At the end of the target's turn, it can make another Constitution saving throw, ending the effect early on a success. Once applied, the poison retains potency for 1 minute before drying. When this poison is administered to the target via a weapon with the Injection trait, the target has disadvantage on the save made to resist the poison.
