	* '''Power Potion:''' Made popular by the Asterix comics but used in various legends before that, this is the "you can now do the thing"-potion. Whatever it does, it will always give the power to defeat whatever obstacle in their way. Bonus points if you glow after drinking it.		* '''Power Potion:''' Made popular by the Asterix comics but used in various legends before that, this is the "you can now do the thing"-potion.

	* '''Spell-Equivalent Potions:''' Another archetypal potion type, as they are easy to template. They're simply a spell but in a bottle, causing whatever effect the spell would normally do, but in a convenient carriable form. These are almost always buff-type spells in D&D, like Haste or Enlarge/Reduce. However, it's fairly easy to do the same for offensive spells like Fireball to make fantasy fragmentation grenades.		* '''Spell-Equivalent Potions:''' Another archetypal potion type, as they are easy to template.

However, it's fairly easy to do the same for offensive spells like Fireball to make fantasy fragmentation grenades or even breath weapons!
	* '''Transformation Potion''' A potion that transforms the drinker into something else (most frequently an animal), often until a cure is found. Relatively rare as a game mechanic, but frequently appearing as a plot device. What practical purpose these could have other than as traps for those who mess with a potion brewer's stuff is unknown.		* '''Transformation Potion''' A potion that transforms the drinker into something else (most frequently an animal), often until a cure is found.

	* '''Potions of Love:''' Simply put, a potion of love makes one person become infatuated with another person (usually the first person they see) for an amount of time. These tend to be a plot device used by the GM to set up courtly intrigue scenarios and dastardly backstabbings, and less towards adventurous romps because when you get down to it, they're basically just magic roofies. Used sparingly though, a player can use these to make interrogations easier.		* '''Potions of Love:''' Simply put, a potion of love makes one person become infatuated with another person (usually the first person they see) for an amount of time.

	Depending on the specific setting, they can be anything from fire-and-forget performance enhancers in the same way energy drinks is in our world, to incredibly rare, risky and powerful concoctions that can completely change your life. Potions in [[High Fantasy]] and [[Heroic Fantasy]] settings are commodities; technically usable by anyone, even if some of them are a bit on the pricey side. [[Low Fantasy]] settings usually requires stupid-complicated "eye-of-newt and a sprinkle of faerie dust"-like recipes to complete, or you have to talk to the morally ambiguous [[witch]] that might boil you alive for a slight.

	There are two major variants of potions. The first is magical substances brewed together. The second is ordinary liquid that is magically enchanted.
