In our last session, my players were wandering through a forest (because i had no prep) and chanced upon a Satyr revelry. On one of the tables they had there was an assortment of various enchanted beverages.
Golden Drink aka “Party On”
Liquid luck; the next time you roll any die for anything, reroll and take the preferred result.
Black Drink aka “Totally Killer”
Rage; +1d4 damage forward, +2d4 if you immediately attack whatever is closest to you.
Green Drink aka “The Strong Stuff”
I can’t feel my face; you still take damage, but you can’t tell that you are.
Blue Drink aka “It’ll blow your mind”
Out of body experience; no real mechanical effect, just allows you to see the situation from any angle as your mind leaves your body.
Pink Drink aka “You’re gonna love this”
Just an aphrodisiac/love potion really, although it works on any sex or race.
Most of these were described by my players as they drink them. I asked them what the satyrs drinking each drink were saying, and made an effect based off of it.
This is awesome. It’s great what the table comes up with when you open it up to them. Favorite in one of my recent sessions; the party was assaulting a wizard’s tower. The atrium had a large seal in the center with elaborate art work engraved into it. Three separate smaller circles stood out in the artwork with different symbols within. I asked the players what the symbols were of and what they represented. They came up with a flame wave, a bloodshot eye, and a question mark in the shape of scythe. They decided that each represented a different Wizard Order. It’s cool that just a small thing like asking the players to contribute to what’s depicted in some artwork has now given us three different Wizard Orders to explore. I love this game!!!
