What Potion of Healing does

  • One use restores 16–40 HP, averaging 28 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.

You regain Hit Points when you drink this potion. The number of Hit Points depends on the potion's rarity, as shown in the table below. Whatever its potency, the potion's red liquid glimmers when agitated. Selected variant: Superior, 8d4 + 8 Hit Points, rare.
