		<description>The thing that immediately comes to mind with regard to &quot;magic residue&quot; from the elimination of potions from the body are the current issues that some claim we&#039;ll have if we don&#039;t come up with a better way of disposing of medicines that have expired/or are no longer in use.

		<description>What I found interesting is if you look at the weight of Alchemist&#039;s Fire (flask) and Acid (flask), and compare it the weight of an empty flask...

Those alchemists, huh? Anti gravity was such a trivial thing to them that they included it in their products without even explicitly mentioning it. :)

This did actually come up. In one of my buddy&#039;s current games, I&#039;m playing a Psion Shaper, and I was intending to use Minor Creation on occasion to create this sort of thing. Since Acid, at least, can be plant based and therefore last hours, I figured I&#039;d grab myself some empty flasks to store it in. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that filling them lowered my encumbrance...

EDIT: I suppose it&#039;s possible that they intend to imply you don&#039;t get the flask along with the Acid - that it&#039;s like a service station, where you bring your flask, and they fill it for you - but I can&#039;t remember ever playing with that assumption. I mean, if you say &quot;The price of a flask of Acid is 10gp&quot; I would NOT assume an implicit &quot;... (but you must provide the flask)&quot; went along with that.</description>

		<description>I once drank a potion that was over three thousand years old, and it still worked, NOW THAT my friends, IS CRAFTSMANSHIP!! No sir, they just don&#039;t make potions like that these days.

I have had lots of bad experiences with potions, namely because I&#039;m too cheap to pay somebody to tell me what it is, and too much of a looter to show anybody that I actually found something, because . . . you know, they might take it away then.

I don&#039;t recommend drinking lamp fuel, the only thing that hurts worse then when it goes down is when it finally leaves.

You&#039;d think that I&#039;d learn my lesson, especially about drinking oils, but it&#039;s just so exciting! Makes me feel like I&#039;m on the Price is Right and get to spin the great big wheel. WEEEEEEE!!!! That and you can make a killing by betting with your party on if you&#039;ll do it or not, give me 100 gold and the Price is Definitely Right THEN, if you know what I mean!

RIP

		<description>I like the idea of potions doing strange things, I&#039;d need a more of a school Dependant, and other combo&#039;s.

Though I can see the above suggested wing bit, end up instead with bat wings... there goes the normal armor too! D:</description>

		<description>The idea behind healing spells is that it encourages cellular regeneration. What is cancer, but cellular regeneration gone amok? Also, I use the critical hit deck of cards for my game. If my PCs get a crit against them, I pull from the deck. Sometimes they can get broken bones. They have to roll a heal check to reset the bone and THEN they can heal it. However the bone will still grow funny without a lesser restoration to remove the ability damage.</description>
