I'm presenting another magical itme for use with the Pathfinder RPG. This time I wanted to provide an item that was not combat orientated or groundbreaking, but something that emhanced something fairly mundane that usually is not even though about. This elixer doubles the effectiveness of natural healing during an eight-hour rest period.
Slot —; Price 100 gp; Weight .5 lb.
This potion come in many containers, but always has a midnight blue hue and appears to sparkle. Imbibing the elixer will double the effectiveness of natural healing during a full night's sleep (8 hour period) or complete bed rest for an entire day. So a character who sleeps for 8 hours after drinking this elixer will recover twice his character level in hit points and two points of temporary ability damage per affect ability score.
A character must drink this elixer within an hour before resting. If the proceeding rest period is interrupted before it is complete, the effects of the elixer end.
Are there any side effects? Perhaps a character who imbibes this potion takes longer to awaken during those 8 hours if attacked in the middle of the night. It seems harsh, I know, but it kind of makes sense.
What happens if the character doesn't get 8 full hours (using the above-mentioned night ambush example)? Do they gain any benefit form this potion or are all beneficial effects lost?
Does it work the first full rest period? How long can a character wait to rest before the potion wears off?
Thanks for the comments, they always lead to a better item!
How does one buy it? How much it costs?
@William Fisher: Two lines under that dark red bar line that says Elixer of Restful Slumber and two bolded words over: Price 100 gp. Where to buy it is up to your DM.
