Potion Crafting
------
- Casters using the Brew Potion feat can now convert stacks of magical potion bottles, rather than needing to do so one at a time. Casting on a stack will convert up to ten empty magical bottles into finished product. XP and Gold costs will be multiplied accordingly.

- Characters with the Brew Potion feat will now create additional potions when doing so through crafting recipes and a work table.

- Three new Skleens have been added to Alchemy.

- The Dusty Rose Skleen now improves Shield AC rather than Deflect AC.

- Potions of Freedom and Black Potions of Warding have been added to Herbalism.

- The product quantities of some existing potion recipes have been adjusted.
"How many" additional potions will Brew Potion feat yield? Compared to a character without the feat.

50% more? 100% (double) the production? Less? More?

50%

Mojo, for example, makes 10 potions normally. With Brew Potion it is 15. Most potion recipes now make 2 at a time, so 3 with Brew Potion.

Is there any chance brew potion could also be opened up to non magic users? This could be used to give non casters more dweomercraft options as well. If so, it should also be added to the mundane list for good save purposes

Well, damn. Knowing that, this Brew Potion thing makes me extremely salty.

Primarily because I perceive it as a direct boon to all Wizards who can AFFORD taking taking that Brew Potion feat as an extra. And who get so many more skill points to invest to crafting skills.

Stupid bookworks get all the crafting boons...

Regardless, thanks for the info!

I'll withdraw into my Sorcerer-corner to brood and contemplate re-leveling to swap Scribe Scroll to Brew Potion to mass-produce Heal potions from now on.

'm not terribly opposed to loosening the feat requirements. At the same time, I do worry that it's availability might be counter-intuitive or a trap to new players, who would see 'Brew Potion' pop up on their fighter's feat list and might then think that it has a use for them beyond assisting a specific craft.

As a general matter, I do agree that sorcerers would benefit from more roleplay-oriented and crafting perks.

" Three new Skleens have been added to Alchemy."

Either I'm missing something, or no they haven't... ?

Pink-Green, Scarlet Blue, and Pink Skleens were introduced. These ioun variants were not represented as skleens prior to this update.

( Don't ask me about the color choices. Those are the default ioun classifications in NWN and 3rd ed. )
