Witcher Potions (5e Other)

Overview

Witchers augment their martial prowess as well as their lifestyle, with alchemical potions. To other peoples, these potions are extremely toxic, and in some cases, even end in death. (5d10+10 poison damage) When a Witcher succeeds in the Trial of Grasses he mutates in such a way that he is able to drink Witcher potions. However, Witchers do not become completely immune to the poison. When a Witcher Reaches max out their Toxicity toxicity threshold they become unconscious and soon after die. This limits how many potions may be active at a time within a Witcher. The maximum Toxicity that a Witcher's threshold may be before death is determined by the level and Witcher school that they choose (see Witcher, Variant (5e Class). Witchers may meditate for 2 or more Hours and cleanse their Toxicity. Another way in which a Witcher may cleanse their system of potions that they drink, lowering their threshold back to zero, and nullifying the effects of any active potions. Another way to reset Toxicity is to use use the potion White Honey. However, White Honey also nullifies any potion effects.
