Potions
A character can use the Craft (Potions) skill to attempt to brew a potion. Each potion is unique in its effects, its difficulty, and its prep time. Potion-making requires a cauldron, water, a potion-making ingredient pouch, and a heat source. Additionally, potion-making without standard potion-making equipment incurs a -2 penalty. As long as a character has a potion-making component pouch, she can hold as many generic potion-making components as she wishes (within reason, please). Many potions, however, require additional expensive or rare ingredients (listed under Ingredients in the table below), and these must be acquired separately in order to attempt to brew the potion. The effects of potions vary widely; some grant the user seemingly infinite luck whereas others cause instant death. If no prep time is listed, assume 2 hours must be devoted to crafting the potion.[2]
Sample Poison/Potions from 5e SRD
Sample Poisons
Each type of poison has its own debilitating effects.
- Assassin's Blood (Ingested)
- A creature subjected to this poison must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 6 (ldl2) poison damage and is poisoned for 24 hours. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and isn’t poisoned.
- Burnt Othur Fumes (Inhaled)
- A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (3d6) poison damage, and must repeat the saving throw at the start of each of its turns. On each successive failed save, the character takes 3 (ld6) poison damage. After three successful saves, the poison ends.
- Crawler Mucus (Contact)
- This poison must be harvested from a dead or incapacitated crawler. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. The poisoned creature is paralyzed. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
- Drow Poison (Injury)
- This poison is typically made only by the drow, and only in a place far removed from sunlight. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is also unconscious while poisoned in this way. The creature wakes up if it takes damage or if another creature takes an action to shake it awake.
- Essence of Ether (Inhaled)

- A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 hour. The poisoned creature is blinded.
- Midnight Tears (Ingested)
- A creature that ingests this poison suffers no effect until the stroke of midnight. If the poison has not been neutralized before then, the creature must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 31 (9d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- Oil of Taggit (Contact)
- A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 24 hours. The poisoned creature is unconscious. The creature wakes up if it takes damage.
- Pale Tincture (Ingested)
- A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or take 3 (ld6) poison damage and become poisoned. The poisoned creature must repeat the saving throw every 24 hours, taking 3 (ld6) poison damage on a failed save. Until this poison ends, the damage the poison deals can’t be healed by any means. After seven successful saving throws, the effect ends and the creature can heal normally.
