The consumer heals 3 HP of damage and is cured of all charm effects.
When used to remove a charm effect, this potion must be administered by another (living) person whose only action that round is to force the charmed character to drink this potion. Charmed individuals do not get a saving throw to resist having the potion forcibly administered to them. The formerly charmed character gains self-control and is free to act the same round the charm was removed.
Adds +4 to Dexterity (thus adding +2 To Hit with ranged attacks, +2 to AC, and +2 to Reflex saving throws)
This thick strong brew heals 5 HP of damage but the consumer suffers -2 AC for the rest of the room. Characters may drink multiple Creeper Stouts and heal 5 HP each time, but the AC penalty is cumulative. E.g., if a character drinks 3 Creeper Stouts, that character will heal a total of 15 HP and suffer a -6 AC penalty.
Allows the imbiber (only) to see in non-magical darkness by creating a magical light source which only the imbiber can see. The effect lasts one room.
This potion does not have any effect in magical darkness.
Note: When it was first printed, this potion caused the player to be given a special light source that lasted the entire adventure. That mechanic no longer applies.

In years past, it allowed the character to search a room for subtle tell-tale signs of secret doors. The effect was somewhat short-lived. The player was given a UV light and had 30 seconds to search for secret doors or compartments, which glowed red under the special light.
