-3.5- Potions + Baking = Win?

[Deth Muncher]

It's commonly accepted that Potions are not the only way you can have a consumable item grant you an effect from a spell - Unearthed Arcana (or CMage, I forget) said you can do anything to represent a potion or a scroll -be it a clay tablet you break or what have you. My question is this: What created foods do you think work best for holding spell effects? By created, I mean something that's baked, friend, brewed or what have you into being.

Cookies of Cure Light Wounds
Kool-Aid of Vigor "Ooooooohhhhh yyyyyyyyeeeaaahhhh"

[Graymayre]

It would be cool to see base foods that give similar capabilities.

Carrots could give darkvision. Garlic could be hide from undead or something similar. Apple could be Fox's Cunning or Owl's wisdom. Anchovies could be Bear's endurance.

Nom cookies!

I'm thinking All the Cure spells should be cookies.

I'm thinking meringue puffs for Cure Light Wounds
Sugar cookies for Cure Moderate Wounds
Chocolate Chip cookies for Cure Serious Wounds
And fudge cookies with chocolate icing for Cure Critical Wounds :)

The source for alternate storage is Complete Arcane, actually.

As for the best storage, for me, anyways, is as magical fruit, as then you can make tarts and pies and so on.

Speaking of, The Neoclassic had a good thread about such things a good while ago that you could look through, if you so wished: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6758286

Pills. Pills here! Piiiiiiiilllllls!

L4D aside, I'd like my potions put into various basic ingredients. That way I could make potion pizzas, and eat a slice of various buffs all at once.

[Tinydwarfman]

Speaking from a strictly utility standpoint, all spells should either be in hypodermic needles or inhalers to cut down delivery times to about a move action.

I do like the idea of Cigarettes of Arrow Mind though - the perfect accompaniment to any gunslinger. From a food standpoint, you can't go wrong with Spinach of Bull's Strength.

[Octopus Jack]

Potion pizza is an awesome idea!
Also coffee coffee coffee of haste haste haste

While they don't mimic spells per se, the Bloodspikes from Magic of Eberron are essentially hypodermic autoinjectors. The Tempo one is pretty awesome as it gives a free Move action to the recipient that can be taken any time within an hour of the dose.

Anyway, for necromancy buffs: Betamax.
(It's congealed pig's blood sold as street food in this country. And no, I won't touch it at all. I think it's repulsive. )

Goodberry Pie sounds tasty.

[Kobold-Bard]

A doughnut you keep at the hand end of your sword blade. When you run it up the blade and off the end it ascts as an Oil of Magic Weapon.

The doughnut is your reward for winning

Beer of Heroism!

LOL for real at that one!

Pills are definitely the best option. If you can make the Craft (Alchemy) DC (which was fairly high, IIRC, though that might have been homebrew to be honest) then you can make a conveniant way to gain multiple spells at once. Who here hasn't taken 4-5 aspirin at once?

Taking multiple pill potions to me sounds like grounds to bring back Potion Miscibility.

[FoE]

There is ... interesting food here.

So you might explode, bu you might get a permanent spell effect.

Totally worth it

[Thurbane]

Character pops a pill and can fly...or is it all in his head?

[Slayn82]

No, of course to fly you must drink RED MINOTAUR.

[Deth Muncher]

No, of course to fly you must drink FIGHT THE RED MINOTAUR AND DRINK ITS BLOOD TO GAIN WINGS.

This may be closer to the truth. :D

Hey, if it's a risk you're willing to take, who am I to stop you from doing so, eh?

[Kobold-Bard]

You might get a permanent Stoneskin/Fly/Animal's Stat Bonus Effect. People survive explosions all the time, totally worth it.

Flapjacks of Barkskin
Remove Poison Vodka

[waterpenguin43]

Grapes of Wrath Heroism?

Cake of invisibility?

Curry of Fire-Breathing?

The ideas are endless.

[Yora]

Icewind Dale has Potions of Remove Disease called "Mom's Tea".

[Starscream]

No, of course to fly you must drink RED MINOTAUR.

Ever see the movie The Last Unicorn? How about a can of Red Bull that summons that thing. You'll get wings alright, as soon as it sends you to the afterlife.

[Itous]

has anyone seen the "something's cooking" game idea?

with the calzone golem, maybe you guys should get a food monster post going, starting with a flying spaghetti monster, would be cool to see one of them.

But if you give a god stats, it means you can kill it! And you can't kill the FSM.

[Deca]

An apple of Remove Disease.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away after all.

I have genuinely fought a blancmange dragon in a church. After this the idea for a Steak & Kidney Troll became a long running thing.

[Itous]

these monster concepts are amazing LOL! and no you can't kill the FSM

there should be a pastamancer class :)

A pastamancer would probably be a cleric of FSM. Not entirely sure what the domains would be though.
