In the books Dresden is capable of bottling up sounds and sights, while I imagine a novice alchemist would have some trouble distilling such substances.<br /><br />It also encourages shelves upon shelves of weird ingredients, and fossicking for Weird Stuff!Spwackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247063374457045751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192410181242837680.post-30996254307748252182021-06-14T01:41:41.743+02:002021-06-14T01:41:41.743+02:00An interesting idea: can't believe I never tho...An interesting idea: can't believe I never thought about game-ifying the Dresden Files' methods of potion-brewing, especially as I'm rereading the series right now. <br /><br />This is also a good system, because it could enable your Magi to cobble together a potion from random ingredients they have lying around and hope for the best, instead of a situation where you find your players saying, "We need another health potion, so we have to go get more Giant's Foot Mushrooms from the Forest of the Screaming Antelope." Though the latter has it's advantages too, of course.<br /><br />What I would do is add a Brew Check mechanic. <br /><br />You have to roll 1d20 to roll a potion, and get bonuses or penalties based on what preparations you do or do not do. For example, if a $50 bill a sufficient replacement for a Diamond? That's +2 to the DC. Or are you brewing this potion in a place rich with natural mana, that's a -1 to the DC.
