Elixir of Protection from lycanthropes
Alchemy, Herbal elixir
One of the Elixirs of Protection: the drinker is shielded from harm by lycanthropes, and warded creatures cannot come within a foot of him.
From the book
Every Elixir of Protection guards the drinker against harm from one particular kind of creature or effect. Creatures of the warded kind cannot come within 1 ft. of the protected person. This one, brewed from 4 drs. of wolfsbane, wards against lycanthropes.
Like all herbal elixirs, it resembles a potion with a much briefer effect: d6+4 minutes unless stated otherwise. It is brewed on a fluid ounce of clear water from fresh or dried herbs, with a mortar and pestle and a fire, over 1-4 hours; an alchemist needs only half the time. The chance of success is 90% plus 1% per level, never above 99%, and when one can be bought it costs 200 G.P. or more.
