Potions

Potions are small vials of liquid, brewed from magical materials to have various wonderous effects. Drinking a potion generally takes a Bonus Action, and feeding a potion to someone uncontious requires an Action by the user. Spell effects caused by potions require no concentration from the drinker, unless otherwise stated. Potions can be bought from vendors who sell them, but outside of specialized stores they are not common. Characters can brew potions themselves during their long rests or downtime.
To brew a potion, you need proficiency in the Herbalism kit or Alchemist's kit, the relevant toolset, a safe location to work uninterupted during crafting, a material of the corresponding rarity and funds to craft the potion. Some potions require specific materials. If so, these materials are noted in the potions list. If no material is listed, any material of that rarity can be used to craft that potion. Crafting costs and market values are depicted in the Crafting Consumables Table.

Potions of Healing

Potions of healing fall into a special category of brewing separate from other potions, and can only be brewed using a herbalism kit. Brewing a healing potion has the same requirements as brewing a regular potion.
