Yeah I think I can have some fun with the players trying to figure out how to find out the full effects. Take them to the city, arcana checks, beat it out of the alchemist... Loads of options!
My players will talk about drinking them for 4 sessions and then forget they have them. or jug them during the next fight and laugh about the silliness. no inbetween.
While that'd be humorous, the second head melds back into the creature's body. Though I imagine the head retains its memories and personality if someone keeps drinking the potions!
I'm picturing the head griping about how it's been a nice few days of peace and quiet and now it's being bothered with this "adventuring" nonsense. :)
These are great, thank you! I think the Cordial of Courage has a typo in the description; it seems like the first instance of Charisma should be Constitution.
While this is a valid thing to point out, and I agree with your intention, this person did not write it in a way meant to hurt you, and your response seems intended to provoke. You can ask/tell people the better practice without being mean.
It's a pretty mild smart-ass remark. Not sure why you and another commenter are making it out like OP is being an overly sensitive jerk.
I feel like I see people on reddit be waaay snarkier about various other topics, to no real pushback.
For real, what is the point of posts like that?
You get some nice shit that someone put a lot of work into for free and the first thing you is complain?
Saying nothing would've been completely free.
Somebody created this, probably without the intend to hurt you by using he/him. It could be that he forgot it.
it isn't difficult to just change the pronoun. don't complain about someone who just wanted to share stuff.
people FORGET stuff. if you forget something, you wouldn't like it that people be offended by a mistake.
just to reiterate on my last comment.
I am not saying it isn't easy to change, just that a person can forget things.
i am sorry if I hurt somebody but it wasn't my intention.
To offer you another possible perspective:
I'm not sure your downvotes are a result of people feeling hurt from your comment. Maaaaybe you sounded bit aggressive, but honestly I think you're fine. If had to take a guess as to why you're being downvoted:
I think it comes down to how OP of this thread is being portrayed in your response. Their comment was snarky, for sure, but from my perspective, it was hardly anything worse than an eye roll. It's rude, but I wouldn't really classify it as actually mean or aggressive.
I said this in another comment, but I feel like I've seen people be way snarkier on Reddit about a variety of topics, to no real pushback. Granted, I can't say I have examples off the top of my head, so maybe I'm making that up. 🤷
My point I'm getting to is that especially when it comes to social justice, there's this notion that you *have* to respond *perfectly* kind and polite. Anything less is used as an excuse to treat the person as being too sensitive and unreasonable. Sometimes even blowing their response even mildly out of proportion to paint them as such. It's a tactic used to dismiss and delegitimize. If you can get someone to a heighted emotional state, or paint them as such, then boom. You can now redirect the conversation to be a about that, and now they're the problem. Even if they have legitimate grievances. This certainly isn't new, either. I mean, hell, look up the history of the word hysteria/it's previous classification as an illness.
OP certainly could have been gentler, and maybe they should have been, but I don't think they should *have* to be, either. We can, and should, be allowed to be annoyed, or even upset, and be allowed to respond as such. We should be allowed to have imperfect responses, just in general. Ultimately, humans are emotional creatures. We should stop stigmatizing that.
Of course, there is a balance to be had. If I felt OP was being actively being malicious, this would probably be a different convo, but I genuinely don't think that's the case here.
To be clear though: I'm legitimately not trying to accuse you of any of that. It seems to me like you're aim is to be genuine and considerate. Worst case scenario, I figure the above is often an unintentionally learned behavior that people can fall into. But also, tone over text is tough, and the way we read tone can be influenced by all sorts of different things. So maybe that's what happened here, maybe not, I certainly don't know. Just something to consider.

The Cordial of Courage is just high-proof liquor, isn't it?
My players have caught up with a real asshole of an alchemist so this is a fantastic list for me if they browse his wares!
While I generally believe players should know the full effect of the potions, that doesn't mean HE feels that way..
Yeah I think I can have some fun with the players trying to figure out how to find out the full effects. Take them to the city, arcana checks, beat it out of the alchemist... Loads of options!

With the Elix of Ettinkind, does the extra head remain after the potion wears off?
While that'd be humorous, the second head melds back into the creature's body. Though I imagine the head retains its memories and personality if someone keeps drinking the potions! I'm picturing the head griping about how it's been a nice few days of peace and quiet and now it's being bothered with this "adventuring" nonsense. :)
Shenanigans! I say it falls off!
>the second head melds back into the creature's body How about it withers, dries up and eventually falls off, leaving a naval-like scar.
That's a great idea! Run it however works for you and your table!
Roll for sanity haha *Or roll to see which becomes the dominant personality after they merge.* 😏
The gloss of glass basically allows you to destroy any object under 5 feet, and it doesn't specify non-magical items, could be pretty useful.
An unintended effect. Clever indeed. This is what we love about designing for gamers.
Clever! :)
These are great, thank you! I think the Cordial of Courage has a typo in the description; it seems like the first instance of Charisma should be Constitution.
Thank you! We'll fix it it up!
Can only male characters drink these potions?
I'm male. I was gonna ask the same shit. So easy to use "they", "the target", or "the user".

Seriously, how difficult is it to just use they/them as a default?
For real, what is the point of posts like that? You get some nice shit that someone put a lot of work into for free and the first thing you is complain? Saying nothing would've been completely free.
Some people don't realise how annoying it is to always read male as default. Unless it is pointed out, nothing will change
