Concoction

Apothecaries, physicians, herbalists, and kitchen witches can all forge remarkable substances from household ingredients. Nature itself produces material with medical uses from the very ground. Even beasts carry within them compounds known to heal or harm.

Creatures who ingest, inject, inhale, or imbibe these concoctions may experience physiological reactions. A creature subjected to a harmful concoction must make a Vitality check. If it meets or exceeds the associated DL, it evades the negative effects.

The following categories represent a few types of concoctions. Each of these delivers a different kind of effect in dosed targets.
