Potions of Greater Restoration?

[Chester]

Do they exist? The only restoration potion is see is for lesser restoration.

3.5 fyi

[Failed Phantasm]

The Brew Potion (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/feats.htm#brewPotion) feat only allows one to make potions of 3rd level spells or lower.

[Zanos]

You can only brew potions of up to 3rd level spells, and Greater Restoration is 7th level.

You'd need another magic item. Most likely a scroll.

[Forrestfire]

Potions can only be made of up to 3rd-level spells, so no.

EDIT: Wow, two swordsages at once.

Well, that answers the question as well as any other related questions.

Thank you kindly! :smallbiggrin:

Well... the Healer (Miniatures Handbook, page 8) gets Restoration as a 3rd level spell, and thus (with the right feat, of course) could make potions of the regular version of Restoration, which would have a nominal market price of Caster Level * Spell Level * 50 gp + material component costs = 5 * 3 * 50 + 100 = 850 gp per. The only thing normally decided at casting is 'which ability score do we fix the drain on' (the rest is automatic), so you'd theoretically have a potion of Restoration(Strength), a potion of Restoration (Dexterity), a Potion of Restoration(Constitution), and so on... as such things must be decided at the brewing.

Edit: Now, I know it's not quite what you're after, but as Greater Restoration is a 7th level spell, and would nominally cost 13*7*50+5*500=7,050 gp, you could get one potion of a Healer's Restoration for each ability score, and only pay 5,100 gp. As long as you don't need to get rid of more than half a dozen level drains at once, it should suit most of your purposes.

Relics and Rituals Excaliber has a way to make higher level spell potions...but your gonna need craft(alchemy) ranks and the DM's approval.

or be a master brewer PRC who can make all the way up to 9ths as potions. potion of shapechange anyone?

[The Grue]

Can someone remind me what the justification was for limiting potions to 3rd level spells?

Well, I'm not one of the designers, but I think it was to keep the mundanes from stealing the caster's schtick (not that they're aren't plenty of ways for it to work the other way...).

[sideswipe]

because mundane's cannot have nice things.

Master Alchemist from Magic of Faerun can do the same.

[Pinkie Pyro]

Cheesing mind-mage can always make any magical item at a spell level of 0, potions included.

i think thats what i was thinking of.

Standard psionic limitations apply. You can't spend more pp than your ML on a single psi-spell. Since reducing spell level costs 8pp/level you're going to get maybe 3-4 levels lower at 20, depending on your build and other ML boosts.
Mind Mage is also arcane/psionic only, and arcane casters don't get Greater Restoration.

You can use Craft Wondrous Item to create a one-shot "pill" that is consumed similar to a potion.

Or use a Skull Talisman (Frostburn).

Or use Shallantha's delicate disk (Lost Empires of Faerun).

Or use Chardalyn (Silver Marches Web Enhancement/Lords of Darkness).

Or use a Greater Glyph Seal (4000 GP, MIC).
