Post subject:  Craft Wand and Brew Potion
I was playing around with brew potion and craft wand on an offline Amia haked character builder module and had a question on how the actual items turn out.

I noticed with different spells, it brewed a potion or crafted a wand with totally different caster levels seemingly randomly. (I was using a level 23 Wiz character). For example, even though my CasterLevel was 23 -- some potions brewed at only CL 7 strength and others at CL 10... Anyway before I confuse myself further:

Is there some sort of calculation done to figure out the strength of your potions/wands? Or is it a hidden roll that occurs when attempting the wand craft or potion brew which determines the outcome?

:? confused :?

It's just how NWN limits CL on potions and wands. There's no rolls or anything. It is what it is.

I still think it's hilarious that you can summon a creature by drinking a brewed potion.

off topic, but you can summon a slaad that will kill you if you catch a certain disease on amia A...

Agreed, but I just RP that some potions are less drinkable spells and more "A magic knife in a bottle" (Shelgarn's persistent blade) or burning oil (Flame Weapon). Actually, Mr. Hackums was showing off his badger in a bottle as well, while I have a few more sinister potions ...

It's the perfect pet! Save for the whole mauling thing.

I've always sort of played some of those odd potions as a person being briefly imbued with the ability to cast the magic. Sort of a surge of magic as they drink it, and poof- Darkness cloud, or fey companion.

I thought it was more of you drink the potion and the spell is cast on you. So you drink a Darkness potion, it's cast on you like when a mage does it. You drink a Flame Weapon potion and it's cast on you, which goes on your blade.

I think we're mostly thinking along the same lines, just a difference in who's performing the action, the bottle or the person, essentially. It was mostly just flavor, how I RPed it anyway.

That's why Dispel potions are so useful (as prank items)!

I just thought that at the very least, if a potion summons a badger, it would at least have a health warning like: 'Do not ingest. May cause chestbursting if swallowed.' ;)

Why would a slaad kill you? Is the disease slaad eggs under your skin?
