I am trying to craft a potion for my players that I want to call Phoenix Down (mostly for the lulz and just nod to the FF genre) but it won't actually be a revive or anything like that; I more so want it to be an extremely rare potion that you can use close to death but has very random success. This is what I have so far:
A small vial contains what looks to be a vaporous red and orange feather. When shaken the feather explodes into a liquid, sloshing against the sides of the glass, but once stilled it returns to the form of a feather. Opened, it turns to its liquid state and is drinkable.
You can only use this potion when you are below 5 HP. Roll one percentage die and that is the percent of your max HP you regain (minimum 10%).

What do you all think?
I might steal this idea from you, actually. I like it. It's a good moderate-to-major healing potion.
I'm honored! By all means!
I'm adding it to the shared homebrew content community, so it'll be available to search here hopefully soon!
