seeking healing but potions cost to much....

[zainale]

my dm has told me about a ointment that i should find and make in the book and it works like a healing potion but not as good. does anyone know what equipment he is talking about?

[Azten]

While I have no idea if such an ointment exists, Wands of Cure Lights or Infernal Healing are much, much better than any potion. Heck, scrolls are better. Boots of the Earth are cheap and amazing as well.

Maybe there's something made from trolls? Maybe Troll Oil or Styptic?

[Timebomb]

No idea, magic oils generally also go onto weapons/objects (e.g. Oil of True Strike), so the usage "ointment" instead of "potion" is a bit strange. Nevertheless, here are some common healing solutions:

Potion of Cure Light Wounds (50 gp for 1d8+1 healing)

Potion of Infernal Healing (50 gp for 10 healing, minor RP issues)

Scroll of ___ (25 gp for the effects as above, need to be able to cast the spell or make a Use Magic Device check)

Wand of ___ (750 gp for 50 castings as above, need to be able to cast the spell or make a Use Magic Device check) (most cost effective solution)

Pay a level 1 druid 10gp to cast Goodberry on some berries (10 gp for 2d4 healing that must be used within 1 day)

Hiding in a hole until healed (Guys! I finally get to use the Heal Skill! Guys...? Oh. They left.)

If your DM is the one that told you about it, ask him for a link to the item, or a write-up of the item. It doesn't matter if it doesn't exist if the DM says it does.

Or RP going into a temple of Sarenrae (Goddess of Healing and Good), make a donation, and ask for some channeled energy for weary adventurers. (unless you're evil, in which case play up the fact that she is also the Goddess of Redemption and hope the cleric's sense motive is low)

Look up Troll ungent.. or stygnant.. something like that.

It is a craft alchemy item. so it should be somewhere in the alchemical items.

I really don't think the costs are any more thesible than potions or wands frankly.

Thats basically all I can think of that isn't a magic item

Troll Styptic has some healing potential. Unfortunately, it's also rather pricey unless you can craft it. On the other hand, 33.3 gold and a DC15 fortitude save for between 4 and 16 hp is pretty damn good. Hard to beat, actually, at low levels. The craft DC is a little high, but a decent alchemist should be able to do it with no problems.

Restorative ointment maybe, one shot level either neutralize poison, remove disease or cure light wounds.
