Potion of the Last Minute

Charges: 1 (regains at never)

A cobalt-blue potion swirls within a teardrop crystal bottle. The stopper is carved with an hourglass motif, and the liquid seems to shimmer and bend light as if remembering every moment it has existed. The label bears the sigil of a patient, time-worn chronomancer.

Temporal Recall When you drink this elixir, for the next minute you may retroactively alter one roll you made in the last minute. Choose a single attack roll, ability check, or saving throw you made during that minute. You roll that same die again with the same modifiers, and you must use the new result in place of the original. The elixir's power ends after you substitute a roll.

Lore

These elixirs are said to be distilled from the memories of clocks and from the breath of a patient time-worn deity. Travelers who have faced fatal mistakes in the heat of battle often seek this drink, hoping to glimpse the minute just before a misstep and alter their fate.

History

The first batch was crafted by the hermit chronomancer Aelor Varn, who saved a besieged city by allowing a commander to relive the crucial minute before the breach and alter a single critical decision. Rumors tell of a guild of mariners bottling time itself to ensure safe passage through storm-wracked seas.
