Apothecary Skills

Notes:
..... Total roll=potency to benefit or harm.
..... Beneficial effects and checks are affected by +1, +1 per ace.
..... Debilitating effects reduce checks affected by -1, -1 per ace.

..... Harmful effects damage by total power of roll.

..... Healing effects heal by total power of roll.

..... Potency doubles on crit, triples on triple crit 
..... Two 'like' ingredients required to make a mixture with a single effect.

(remedy + remedy = remedy,

poison + poison = poison,

Ingredient + ingredient = potion etc.)
..... If a mixture has multiple effects, the ingredients needed doubles per effect, for example: if 4 effects, 8 ingrediants are needed.
..... Record mixtures made and their effects on a potion list. Keep in a character folder or private discord thread as file named Apothecary of (Character Name).
..... If roll fails, ingredients are lost and mixture fails.

..... Roll 1 d20 when making a potion, remedy or poison to determine if character has supplies needed or add ingredient types found to a supply list when rolled.
