Skill Rules & Full Description
This skill is purchased in ranks similar to schools of magic. Rank 1 Potions allows the character to id entify all Potions, which takes the character 1 minute of roleplaying in-game to perform. The higher ranks allow the character to brew Po tions of that rank and lower. So a character with Rank 3 Potions c ould identify any potion and brew any Potion in Rank 2 and Rank 3, as long as they have the recipe.
