Potion Barkskin
Adds +3 to AC
This effect lasts the entire room, however the imbiber will be incapacitated the round after drinking this potion while their skin becomes incredibly tough like the bark of a stout tree.

Potion Detect Magic
Reveals all sources of magic in the room to the imbiber

Reveals all secret doors in the room to the imbiber
Potion Distilled Healing
Heals 10 points of damage
Potion Drow Blade Venom
When applied to a weapon, that weapon deals +5 Damage as Poison on the first–and only the first–successful attack made with the coated weapon . (Misses do not use up the venom.) If the victim succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw, the Poison has no effect, but does not otherwise affect the amount of damage dealt by that weapon. E.g., if the total damage (including the damage from this venom) dealt by the coated weapon’s attack is 20 and the victim succeeds on the Fort save,

A character foolish enough to drink more than one Dwarven Doppelbock per room does not gain additional Strength beyond the initial +6, but suffers a cumulative -2 AC penalty (up to the in-dungeon max penalty of -6) for each one consumed. E.g., if a character drank four Dwarven Doppelbocks, that character would have a total of +6 Strength and suffer a -6 AC penalty.
Potion Dwarven Draught

The effect is not cumulative, so consuming multiple Dwarven Draughts has no additional benefit.

Drinking this potion does not prevent future Undead Touch Attack effects.

Potion Feybane

Potion Great Spirits
The consumer heals 5 HP of damage. Prior to quaffing this potion, if the quaffer took at least one point of Darkrift damage in this room, this potion heals 8 points of damage instead of 5. Having taken Darkrift damage in a previous room does not trigger this potion’s extra healing potential.
Potion Green Dragon Breath
After drinking this potion, the imbiber immediately belches forth a green cloud which deals 3 points of Poison damage to all monsters in the room. This damage is not subject to any kind of damage bonus the user may possess.
The drinking and damage-dealing both occur as part of a single action. So if the consumer drinks this potion as a Free Action (e.g., by using a Pouch of Tulz or Belt of Retrieval),

Potion Heavy Healing
Heals 6 HP of damage
Potion Icy Blood

Retribution Damage: When a melee attack deals damage to a target possessing Retribution Damage (RD), the attacker takes damage equal to the target’s total RD.

If an attack would have caused damage but is completely negated (e.g., Cloak of Shadowskin) or the attack’s damage is reduced to zero (e.g., melee damage reduction),
Potion Invisibility
The drinker of this potion becomes totally invisible. This may allow the character to avoid detection by a monster that relies on its sense of sight to detect enemies.
An Invisible character gains +2 To Hit on attacks made against sighted creatures, though attacking immediately cancels the Invisibility. Attacks made against an Invisible creature suffer a -4 To Hit penalty.
If this potion is used by a rogue, they may immediately make a sneak attack (with a +2 to Hit bonus) instead of waiting one round to set it up.
Potion Ironclad
Adds +2 to AC or adds +4 to AC vs. attacks made by Fey creatures
Potion Jewel Weed Extract
Heals 1 HP of damage
Potion Leaping Attack
The imbiber may use a melee weapon (using melee combat modifiers) to attack flying or levitating monsters. The monster must be in the air, not just at range. Like most potions, this takes one round to drink, so the character would not be able to attack a flying monster until the round after this potion is quaffed. (a Belt of Retrieval could bypass that restriction)
