Making Potions

You can brew potions either as a downtime or paying their gold cost. You can make experimental potions by mixing two unique unlocked ingredients together.   When mixing ingredients, one of the ingredients must be an Ability or Toxin ingredient, and the second a Modifier. A potion costs the combined total of the two ingredients, but if you choose to craft this potion by spending a downtime, then you craft 1 potion for free with your choice of any two ingredients.   Once you consume a potion you can not consume another until the current potion’s effect wears off.   With potions being unique and experimental, you can not sell potions as you can standard equipment, if you wish to sell them they must be sold to a player.   Abilities are very useful substances, so they are consumed. The wielder of the potion may drink it as a Bonus Action while it must be given to an ally as an Action.   Toxins are a more hostile substance, so they must be applied to weapons. One potion with a toxin ingredient can be applied to one's weapon or to 5 pieces of ammunition. It is a Bonus Action to apply a toxin. Unless stated differently, a toxin remains on a weapon or ammunition till you hit a target with the weapon or ammunition, or 1 minute passes. The toxins have a DC of 11 + your PB.
