A question of taste


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Y'know, this is something that hit me recently: what do potions taste like?

If I had to guess, based of the spell's school the potion is based on:
Abjuration: Salty, mostly to differentiate a protective potion from a curative one
Conjuration: Sweet, mostly for cure potions
Divination: Bitter, to wake up the senses
Enchantment: Plain, since charm spels and other effects are supposed to be masked
Evocation: Spicy, since it resolves into a powerful effect
Illusion: Plain, since illusions are meant to go unnoticed
Necromancy: Acrid... I mean come on, death kinda tastes awful :P
Transmutation: Sour, since your body is changed

As for what tastes like what, that's up to you, but I feel like potion tastes and elixirs could be an interesting rule here ;)


There was a list for this in 3.5
