Potion Brewing: Recipes, Shopkeeping and Monster Ecology for D&D 5e
Turn downtime into danger, profit, and story.
Potion Brewing is a practical accessory for Dungeons & Dragons 5e that transforms crafting from a forgotten line on a character sheet into a living part of your campaign. Designed as both a downtime system and a meaningful gold sink, this guide gives players a reason to invest in the world—shops to build, ingredients to hunt, and risks to take.
Inside you’ll find:
-
Complete recipes for every potion, elixir, and oil from the Dungeon Master’s Guide
-
A flexible brewing system that balances simplicity with depth
-
Rules and costs for establishing and running a potion shop in a busy city
-
Guidance on sourcing ingredients through exploration, trade, and monster hunting
-
A fully developed mishap table, where critical failures bring real consequences—not just to the brewer, but to the building itself (watch the windows)
From troll blood still steaming in the cold air to rare herbs gathered at dawn, this supplement leans into monster ecology, risk, and reward. Brew carelessly, and you may lose more than coin. Brew well, and your shop becomes a hub of trade, intrigue, and quiet power.
A shelf of glass, a room of steam, and a business built on danger—
welcome to potion brewing.
Happy brewing!
