What Potion of Healing does
- One use restores 4–10 HP, averaging 7 before your HP maximum limits it. Enter missing HP to see how much healing is likely to be wasted.
- Healing cannot exceed the recipient’s HP maximum. A larger potion can restore more on average, but may waste more when only a few HP are missing.
- Activation in the 2014 entry: Action
You regain 2d4 + 2 Hit Points when you drink this common Potion of Healing. Drinking or administering the potion takes an action. Its red liquid glimmers when agitated.
