Potion question
Ok I have a player and we are disagreeing on something.
How long does a potion last?
For example, a Bull's Strenght potion?
Do we assume it is cast with the lowert caster level and the duration is based on that? So if it is assumed with a 3rd level caster it would last for 3 minutes?

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for
anything, but you still can't help but smile when
you see one tumble down the stairs.

Re: Potion question
Potions have caster levels. The prices are calculated with the caster level. The default item prices (potions, wands, scrolls) in the DMG assume the minimum caster level (CL 1 for 1st, CL 3 for 2nd, CL 5 for 3rd, etc., except with, say, bard spells...).
You can get longer-lasting (and more effective) potions with higher CL and thus higher duration.

Re: Potion question
BTW, the exception to this is potion of bull's strenght which has been priced in DMG as if it was made with casterlevel 5 instead of 1. (I hear this has been inherited from earlier edition in which it made diffrence to effect or something.)

Re: Potion question
I know Bulls Strength needs caster level 3 to cast.

Re: Potion question
...could you potentially make a potion of extended bear's endurance, for instance, using metamagic?

Re: Potion question
I dont think so, though could be wrong.
You could make a potion at a higher caster level though, for example.. a caster level 10 potions of Bears Endurance for 10 minutes, or whatnot.

Re: Potion question
Sweet. I'll have to do that more often, then.
