Is there a table somewhere that gives the suggested prices for potions? Particularly healing?

Potions


Note that table linked by Lazaro contains costs to make them - standard price is twice that. It also assumes that potions are set at minimal caster level required for their respective classes.

Not true. cost to create is 25 x spell level x caster level. The cost to purchase is 50 x spell level x caster level.

this would put a potion for a first level spell, by a first level character @ 25 gp. That chart lists a first level potion as 50gp (the purchase cost).

It is the same chart as here just missing the subtext of: Prices assume that the potion was made at the minimum caster level. The cost to create a potion is half the base price.


Gah. I looked upon the wrong row where 25 gp was writen and assumed it is cost table while in fact i was looking on 0th level potions. Second part, that these are prices of potions at minimal CL for their class and level combination remains valid.

Note: "It can duplicate the effect of a spell of up to 3rd level that has a casting time of less than 1 minute and targets one or more creatures or objects. "

"Heal" is a level: cleric 6, druid 7 spell and so cannot be made into a potion. You'll want to look at the "cure" spells.

To elaborate on what others have said, the formula for the cost to make a potion is 25 gp x spell level x caster level + spell material component costs. The formula to buy a potion is 50 gp x spell level x caster level + material component costs.

Since the cure series of spells doesn't have a costly material component, the cost of a potion of cure light wounds in a magic shop is 50 gp (50 gp x 1st level spell x minimum 1st caster level).

A potion of cure moderate wounds would cost 300 gp (50 gp x 2nd level spell x minimum 3rd level caster).

A potion of cure serious wounds would cost 750 gp (50 gp x 3rd level spell x minimum 5th level caster)

And since potions are limited to spells of 3rd level or less, cure critical wounds and more potent spells like heal cannot be made into potions at all.
