Here is one table for mixing potion created on the spot

The idea behind healing spells is that it encourages cellular regeneration. What is cancer, but cellular regeneration gone amok? Also, I use the critical hit deck of cards for my game. If my PCs get a crit against them, I pull from the deck. Sometimes they can get broken bones. They have to roll a heal check to reset the bone and THEN they can heal it. However the bone will still grow funny without a lesser restoration to remove the ability damage.

I like the idea of potions doing strange things, I’d need a more of a school Dependant, and other combo’s.

Though I can see the above suggested wing bit, end up instead with bat wings… there goes the normal armor too! D:

What I found interesting is if you look at the weight of Alchemist’s Fire (flask) and Acid (flask), and compare it the weight of an empty flask…

Those alchemists, huh? Anti gravity was such a trivial thing to them that they included it in their products without even explicitly mentioning it.

This did actually come up. In one of my buddy’s current games, I’m playing a Psion Shaper, and I was intending to use Minor Creation on occasion to create this sort of thing. Since Acid, at least, can be plant based and therefore last hours, I figured I’d grab myself some empty flasks to store it in. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that filling them lowered my encumbrance…

EDIT: I suppose it’s possible that they intend to imply you don’t get the flask along with the Acid – that it’s like a service station, where you bring your flask, and they fill it for you – but I can’t remember ever playing with that assumption. I mean, if you say “The price of a flask of Acid is 10gp” I would NOT assume an implicit “… (but you must provide the flask)” went along with that.

So, if it burns when you pee, is that the potion working itself out, or something that you’ve gotta see a cleric about?
