Treachery

Brewed with 4 drs. of whortleberry, it makes the drinker betray the first person whose name he hears spoken. The Game Judge chooses the form it takes, such as deserting a friend in trouble or handing him to the authorities. There is no time limit: he betrays that person at the first chance he gets.

Each philtre stirs up one particular emotion or reaction in the drinker. It is mixed into a pint of wine using a mortar and pestle and a fire, taking 5-8 (d4+4) hours, with a 90% chance of success plus 1% per level of ability (99% at most). The wine makes it very hard to spot: a victim who actually questions what he is being offered may save vs Intelligence at -4 to realize it is not ordinary wine. Once swallowed, it takes hold instantly and allows no save. Philtres usually cost 100 G.P. when available.
