What Restorative Ointment does

  • One use restores 4–18 HP, averaging 11 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
This glass jar, 3 inches in diameter, contains 1d4 + 1 doses of a thick mixture that smells faintly of aloe. The jar and its contents weigh 1/2 pound. As an action, one dose of the ointment can be swallowed or applied to the skin. The creature that receives it regains 2d8 + 2 hit points, ceases to be poisoned, and is cured of any disease.
