Potions can take a variety of shapes, sizes, colours, consistencies, and flavours. In practice, these differences won't change much about gameplay, but remembering that "that sloshy glowing blue potion was the potion of Haste, but the treacle-y red one that smells of strawberries was a potion of Healing" can be fun. Older editions included rules for these, but if you want to add some extra details, here are some tables you can use, as many or few of them as you like:
Potion Bottle Shape: 1 - Squarish jam-jar style bottle 2 - Tall, tear-drop bottle 3 - Vial with flattened bottom 4 - Spherical bottle 5 - Flattened disc-shaped bottle (like Cognac) 6 - Faceted diamond-shaped bottle Potion Colour: 1 - Dark green 2- Blue 3 - Golden/yellow 4 - Red 5 - Uncoloured 6 - Shifting colours Potion Consistency: 1 - Thick, honey-like consistency 2 - Syrupy consistency 3 - Chunky/blobby consistency 4 - Milky consistency 5 - Watery consistency 6 - Effervescent or bubbling consistency Potion Flavour: 1 - Vile flavour (almost toxic) 2 - Unpleasant (spinach, or worse) 3 - Salty taste 4 - Bland taste 5 - Sweet, pleasant taste 6 - Almost unpalatably sweet Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 11 May 2021.
