Okay, a question that came up recently about mixing potions. Most importantly, on the roll of 91-99 on the "Potion Miscability" table, "Both potions work, but the numerical effects and duration of one potion are doubled. If neither potion has anything to double in this way, they work normally."
Now, this tracks just fine if you take a Potion of Healing while under the effects of, say, a Potion of Invisibility. You just double the healing, pat yourself on the back for your incredible luck, and call it a day. But what if you mix an Elixir of Health with a Potion of Storm Giant Strength? The only potion with any measurable numeric effects is the Potion of Storm Giant Strength. If you double its numerical effects, does your strength become Fifty-Eight?!?
What if you get mega nutty, and you drink three Potions of Storm Giant Strength? And you roll a 91 and a 100? Does your strength become fifty-eight Forever?
Obviously a bonkers situation, but... possible? Also... is there a way to cheese a pair of consecutive d100 rolls? Asking for a friend.
RAW, I guess so.
First, you have to mix the three together, not drink them individually. I believe only one of the Potions of Storm Giant Strength would work, it would be at its normal strength, and it would be permanent. Dispel Magic might end the effect.
d20 roll? Yes. d100? Not to my knowledge.
How to add Tooltips.
My houserulings.
Having any ability score higher than 30 isn't really supported by the rules.
