LE Potion Miscibility (Random Alternative Effects, basically)

[SiniVII]

Potion Miscibility is apparently something out of DnD first edition... Now I wouldn't know, I didn't play em, but I love the concept.

Basically whenever you chug multiple potions, there's a chance for alternate hazardous (or helpful) effects to occur because the two potions you drank are mixing in your belly. It adds mystery and wonder to alchemy, but also adds a risk to potion consumption.

This is the table I found online and should give people an idea of what I mean:

 

(Basically a dice-roll 0-100)
01 - EXPLOSION! Internal damage is 6-60 h.p., those within a 5” radius take 1-10 h.p. if mixed externally, all in a 10’ radius take 4-24 hit points, no save.
02 – 03 - Lethal poison results, and imbiber is dead; if externally mixed, a poison gas cloud of 10’ diameter results, and all within it must save versus poison or die.
04 – 08 - Mild poison which causes nausea and loss of 1 point each of strength and dexterity for 5-20 rounds, no saving throw possible; one potion is cancelled, the other is at half strength and duration. (Use random determination for which is cancelled and which is at half efficacy.)
09 – 15 - Immiscible. Both potions totally destroyed, as one cancelled the other.
16 – 25 - Immiscible. One potion cancelled, but the other remains normal (random selection).
26 – 35 - Immiscible result which causes both potions to be at half normal efficacy when consumed
36 – 90 - Miscible. Potions work normally unless their effects are contradictory, e.g. diminution and growth, which will simply cancel each other.
91 – 99 - Compatible result which causes one potion (randomly determined) to have 150% normal efficacy. (You must determine if both effect and duration are permissible, or if only the duration should be extended.)
00 - DISCOVERY! The admixture of the two potions has caused a special formula which will cause one of the two potions only to function, but its effects will be permanent upon the imbiber. (Note that some harmful side effects could well result from this. . . )
