Variant: Mixing Potions; Potion Miscibility

Source: Dungeon Master’s Guide p. 140

Potion Miscibility

dice: d100Result
01The mixture creates a magical explosion, dealing 6d10 force damage to the mixer and 1d10 force damage to each creature within 5 feet of the mixer.
02-08The mixture becomes an ingested poison of the DM’s choice.
09-15Both potions lose their effects.
16-25One potion loses its effect.
26-35Both potions work, but with their numerical effects and durations halved. A potion has no effect if it can’t be halved in this way.
36-90Both potions work normally.
91-99The numerical effects and duration of one potion are doubled. If neither potion has anything to double in this way, they work normally.
00Only one potion works, but its effect is permanent. Choose the simplest effect to make permanent, or the one that seems the most fun. For example, a potion of healing might increase the drinker’s hit point maximum by 4, or oil of etherealness might permanently trap the user in the Ethereal Plane. At your discretion, an appropriate spell, such as dispel magic or remove curse, might end this lasting effect.
