    😮I liked the way The Dungeon Dudes did potions. If you did it as a bonus action you rolled for healing and if you did it out of combat/or as an action you got full helimg no mater what.

    I allow the 1st health potion taken in a day to be a free action. I allow the rest to be taken as a bonus action. However, if 1 PC gives it to another PC, that takes an action. I'm also thinking of allowing them to take it as an action to regain the max healing.

      @@westeralex1 considering potions are a consumable, it makes sense for them to be a more compelling option IMO. Since the DM controls their distribution for the most part, there shouldn't be a balance issue caused by that, unless the crafting rules have some major stuff in them that we haven't seen.

    • @westeralex1
      @westeralex1 5 днів тому +2

      It's more the fact that many potions are pretty similar to spell scrolls and that makes them just a better version of a spell scroll in many cases because it also takes away concentration in many cases like what I mentioned before. It's not about balance it's about making scrolls worse than potions in even more circumstances

  • @alantraylor7929
    @alantraylor7929 3 дні тому

    Drinking a potion is casting a spell, and most spells that potions emulate take an Action to cast. This change makes drinking a potion version of a spell better than casting the actual spell itself, which is why I never used this silly house rule. But now it's canon. Sigh.

    Not really an enhancement... in the DMG you say whatever house rules you want to play with goes, so people made house rules that were popular, and now you've just decided to use those instead of what was originally written?

    • @DCSNumberone
      @DCSNumberone 3 дні тому +1

      I think that's part of the point of this book. Outside of revising classes and species and stuff, they're taking a look at the rules themselves and changing things to fit what is most accepted.
      If the vast majority of people ignore a rule the way it's written, then most of the time, it's probably a bad rule that needs to be changed. This way, now people can say, "You can drink a potion as a bonus action," instead of, "Normally, potions are an action, but I think that's stupid, and I allow you to drink them as a bonus action."

  • @pebbles2626
    @pebbles2626 4 дні тому +2

    Nooo!!! Make this an Optional Rule!! First off, the header states "potions" as in all potions. If this is correct, you can now cast a Fireball and then drink a potion of Haste...or Invis, or Fly...TWO spell actions! If this means only for Heal Potions, do not be so confusing with such a title. Still, what creature with even half an intelligence won't be carrying around a ton of heal potions if he can hit you with his sword and drink Greater Healing. And what about the Fighter with a sword in hand and a shield, any wording on needing a free hand to grab a potion and open its stopper? I'm not happy with this one.

      @hotjava 5 днів тому +1

      DM's get to make the shops players find, stack the loot that is loot able, set costs in the world's economy.... So you make less healing potions available for your party if you would like this limited? This isn't hard to balance.
