All Possible Potions

[3.5 Loyalist]

Shatter my bowels, what have I drunk?

[Lakesidefantasy]

Okay, here is the list of all possible potions from the core rulebook. I have divided them up by class and categorized them as best I could into potions, oils, cursed, and recursive.

Potions are derived from spells that target creatures, these can also be created as oils.

Oils are derived from spells that target objects, these are necessarily oils because an object cannot drink a potion.

Cursed is a category of potions that have harmful effects targeting the drinker of the potion.

Recursive is a category of potions wherein there is a strange interplay between the target and the effective caster, both of which are the drinker of the potion, so usually nothing happens. Most recursive potions are charms and enchantments.

Here's my new list of Pathfinder potions with links to spell descriptions. It includes all of the potions and oils listed by Lakesidefantasy back in 2012 plus a whole lot more new spells.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I went back through the list of core 1st level wizard spells and divided the ones that qualify into three groups: potions, oils and cursed. Potions work on the imbiber, oils are applied to objects, and cursed potions are harmful to the imbiber.

POTIONS
Endure elements
Protection from evil
Mage armor
Enlarge person
Feather fall!
Jump
Reduce person

OILS
Hold portal
Grease
Shocking grasp?
Magic aura
Animate rope
Erase
Feather fall!
Magic weapon

CURSED
Charm person!
Hypnotism?
Sleep?
Magic missile?
Shocking grasp
Cause fear
Chill touch

I'm not sure if hypnotism, sleep, and magic missile actually qualify, but if magic missile does qualify it would be very comical to see someone drink it.

Charm person is funny because you charm yourself. Feather fall is problematic because you typically don't have time to drink it.

I also don't know how shocking grasp would work as an oil, but it might make a good splash weapon.

Some of the oils are interesting. Hold portal could be useful. Grease might make a good splash weapon. And, erase could really ruin a wizard's day.

All-in-all this is an interesting exercise.

I would say a cursed charm person spell makes you charmed by the first living being you see afterwards.
