The Power of Potions
Each potion comes with a power rating, determining its potency. This power is locked in at the moment of mixing. For simple potions, the power comes from the reagent used. For the others, it’s the average power of the two potions you mixed. Characters with Alchemy skills get a bonus, as they add their skill level to the power of the simple potions they make, too.
Boosting Potion Power with Catalysts
Catalysts are an interesting type of simple potion. They can give a power boost to other potions. If your character knows a bit of Alchemy, they can mix catalysts with potions of any kind. Exercise caution! Ensure the catalyst is more potent than the potion you’re mixing it with, or you risk ending up with a weakened potion instead of a strengthened one.
