Flask of Sharing
Once per game, you may evenly split the effect of a healing potion with one other character. Each character gains half of the potion’s healing effect, rounded down. E.g., if the owner shared a 10-point healing potion, the owner and the other person would each regain 5 HP. If the owner shared a 7-point healing potion, the owner and the other person would each regain 3 HP.
To be used in conjunction with a Flask of Sharing, the healing token must comply with all of the following:
- The word “potion” must be printed in its title
- It must be an actual potion
(If someday a “Scroll Destroy Potion” token were to be made that caused a targeted potion to explode, it would not be shareable via this item.) - It must restore HP expressed as an integer, not a variable such as “half” or “all”
Only HP-restoring effects are shared. Any secondary effects–positive or negative–from the potion only affect the owner of the Flask of Sharing. E.g., if a Potion Creeper Stout were shared, the flask’s owner and the other person would each regain 2 HP, but only the owner would suffer the -2 to AC penalty. If a Potion Thrall Ale were shared, only the flask’s owner would be prevented from drinking additional potions in that room. However, the owner of the Flask cannot share a potion with someone who previously drank (in the traditional manner, not vicariously through a Flask of Sharing) a Thrall Ale in that room.
Potions which bring the dead back to life cannot be shared.
If the owner of this flask utilizes an item which increases the healing effect of a consumable (such as Greater Alchemist Pouch or Girdle of Wealful Health), the healing boost adds to the total healing effect pool which is split between the two drinkers of the potion. E.g., if the flask owner possesses a Greater Alchemist Pouch and shares a 7-point healing potion, a pool of 8 HP would be created and each drinker would heal 4 HP. Only the flask owner’s equipment can increase the healing effectiveness. If the flask owner is “naked” and the other recipient of a shared potion is wearing a Girdle of Wealful Health, the girdle does not bestow any extra healing.
The Flask of Sharing itself is a permanent item, but the shared potion token must be turned in when used.
Timing: The owner of the Flask of Sharing must use an Action to consume and share the potion–one Action covers both processes. In most cases, a Standard Action is required, but there are some items which allow a character to consume a potion as a Free Action. Those items are compatible with a Flask of Sharing. The target, the person receiving the other half of the shared potion, does not require any Action (neither Standard nor Free) to consume the potion. In this sense, the whole process is similar to a healing spell being cast. The caster is “charged” an Action, but the target of the heal is not. Of course, with a Flask of Sharing, both characters receive some healing.
