Taurus Red

This red potion restores 1d FP depleted for psionics, if the imbiber makes a successful IQ roll. If imbibed more than once per day by a given subject, apply a cumulative -3 per successful replenishment on that subject. This penalty accumulates until a full day has passed since the most recent replenishment. This only works for humans and all “similar” races (elves, orcs, dwarves, halflings, etc.), but this potion can be made to affect, for example, animals. Such a potion will not be able to affect humanoids.

Duration: Instantaneous.

Notes: Since the potion is considered to be the “caster”, we do not apply Affects Self, +50% here. Also, because this ability is not based on Affliction, we only take parts of the Potion meta-enhancement.
