Alchemy
Combining old magical lore and arcane magic ingredients, the art of alchemy has been passed down in
zebra culture for generations, even after the Great War. Alchemy can be used to produce various kinds
of potions, ointments, and other consumable items that have various short-lived magical effects.
Alchemical brews with permanent magical effects are also possible but require a special recipe and rare
ingredients (see Augments, p. 86). Below are some of the most commonly known alchemy items.

Bleed-stopper
Smear your wounds with this purple goop, and your excess bleeding will no longer throw you through a
loop!
This ointment will automatically stabilize a dying character. It also ends any Burn condition on whoever
it is applied to. There’s enough goop for this to be used 5 times.
Curse Cure-all
This dark bubbling liquid is not vile. It will drive out curses and bring back your smile!
When you drink it, any curses on you are dispelled, and any creatures possessing you are driven out as
well.
Flash Coal
Zebra sages sought to make coal that would burn forever. Instead they got some that would burn
intensely hot, but quickly weather.
This alchemical coal burns twice as fast, but burns 10 times as hot.
Golem Paste
Mixed from the ground dust of a magical sentry, this potion will cover your coat in stone, deflecting
attacks aplenty.
When applied to your coat, this potion grants you the Thick HideB talent at a D20 for 10 minutes.

Resistance Potion
Ice and lightning, acid and fire – this potion
will grant protection against an element’s
ire.
It grants you the Resistance** quirk against
one type of energy damage for 1 hour. Each
variation of this potion has a color that
matches the damage it protects against.
Scentmask Lotion
Mixed from bloatsprite wings and mold that
glows, this scentless lotion will hide you
from anything using its nose.
Whoever smears this lotion on their body
becomes completely undetectable by smell
for 1 hour.
Smoke Bomb
Bursting in a showy, colorful poof, this
harmless explosive is only a spoof!
When thrown, this smoke bomb bursts in a
15’ radius cloud of thick, colored smoke. The
cloud lasts for 1 minute or until it is blown
away.
Spirit Drops
Squeeze a single drop into each eye at most,
then you can see invisible things, perhaps even a ghost!
By squeezing a drop of this clear enchanted liquid into your eyes, you gain the TruesightB talent at a D8
for 1 minute.
Wall-walking potion
Smearing this on your hooves is helpful for a Fallen Caesar fighter. Wearing it will let you walk on walls
and ceilings, like a spider!
This potion is applied to a character’s feet and allows them to walk on walls and ceilings. When applied,
you gain the Spider ClimbB talent at a D8 for 1 hour.
Zebra Warpaint
For a zebra, it may seem strange to paint one’s face for battle, but this will steel your resolve and make
your nerves not rattle!
This magical warpaint upgrades your trait rolls to attack and resist fear for 10 minutes.
