Strength
Alchemy, Herbal elixir
Temporarily raises Strength.
From the book
A draught of 4 drs. of betony that raises the drinker's Strength by 1-4 points for its duration.
Herbal elixirs behave much like potions but wear off far sooner, lasting d6+4 minutes unless noted otherwise. Each starts from a fluid ounce of clear water, uses fresh or dried herbs, and needs a mortar and pestle and a fire. Brewing takes 1-4 hours (half that for an alchemist), with a 90% chance of success plus 1% per level of ability, to a maximum of 99%. Ready-made elixirs sell for at least 200 G.P.
