d100 Potion of Peculiar Consequences

7397C9E4-9EBA-4954-93B4-13F17E1D8829

The bottle is always the same: a small ornate vessel of brass and glass, filled with a teal syrup that clings thick to the sides. It never spoils, never spills on its own, and somehow always appears stoppered no matter how it’s handled.

Any sip produces a peculiar effect — sometimes silly, sometimes troublesome, sometimes surprisingly useful. Most twists are odd but harmless; a handful bend fortune in your favor; and a rare few bestow gifts so remarkable they feel almost too much for chance. The effect lasts for four hours after drinking, unless noted otherwise.
