Heroism
Alchemy, Herbal elixir
Briefly raises Strength and Will to their racial maximum.
From the book
Made with euphorbia, oak leaf and vervain, 2 drs. of each, this elixir briefly raises the drinker's Strength and Will to the highest scores his race allows. A potion of the same name does the same thing for longer.
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.
