Alchemy: Adventurer Elixirs

Alchemy: Adventurer Elixirs

Now, let's create elixirs based on the spells from the previous post and convert two alchemical items from Complete Arcane that I have missed. Now we caught up properly.

   

Aroma of Curdled Death

This dark, viscous ointment is usually stored in a small stoppered bottle and applied like a perfume. Five seconds after exposure to air, it creates an invisible cloud of poison gas in a 4-yard radius that lasts for 1 minute. The creature wearing the aroma of curdled death is protected from the cloud’s effect, but all other creatures that breathe in this gas must make an HT roll or suffer a heart attack. The cloud moves as the creature does without drifting with the wind.

Duration: 1 minute.

Form: Ointment.

Aroma of Dreams

This silvery ointment is usually stored in a small stoppered bottle and applied like a perfume. Five seconds after exposure to air, it creates an invisible cloud of poison gas in a 4-yard radius that lasts for 1 minute. The creature wearing the aroma of dreams is protected from the cloud’s effect, but all other creatures that breathe in this gas must make an HT roll or fall asleep for margin of failure minutes. The cloud moves as the creature does without drifting with the wind.
