Vial of the Wheel's Fortitude

by Frazer 👁 190 views

A slender glass vial filled with a shimmering amber liquid that seems to ripple with inner weather. The cork is sealed with a thin thread of silver. When held up to light, motes dance within, shifting from gold to emerald as if the vial itself were deciding which fate to grant you.

Random Resistance When you drink this potion, you gain resistance to a single type of damage for 1 hour. The type of damage is determined at random: roll a d12 to determine which of the following damage types you gain resistance to (acid, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, radiant, poison, psychic, force, thunder, piercing, or slashing). The resistance ends after 1 hour.

Lore

An obscure alchemical design known as the Wheel of Fortitude was brewed by a gambler-sorcerer who believed fate offers protection to those who dare. Bottled in tiny glass flasks with wheel-like stoppers, each vial seems to glow with a shifting hue and a soft ticking as if a clock within the bottle is measuring your luck.

History

The vial first appeared in the wreckage of a desert caravan, later passing through the hands of several adventurers. Some credit it with saving lives by granting resistance in dire moments, while others whisper that the random nature of its power has brought unexpected consequences.
