Buck a Batch Bonus Potions is guaranteed to be useful to every GM. The 10 page PDF file contains 25 new potions which can come in very handy - especially if your PCs need some timely help. I kept finding myself saying "What a good idea..."!

You can never have enough potions. It's a good break from the run of the mill cure lights and invisibilty potions out there. If these are represented in the free 'bonus' download, I can only imagine what they stuck in the regular versions.

Buck-A-Batch: Bonus Potions is a free product from Creation's Edge Games. The zipped file is just over half a megabyte in size, and contains a single PDF. The PDF is ten pages long, including a page for the cover, a page for the introduction/credits/legal, a page for the OGL, and almost a full page of ads. No bookmarks are given.

While there's little artwork per se, there's plenty of visual design in this product. The cover does have a picture, which is the only real artwork here. However, all of the subsequent pages have a slightly grayed background, and have gray borders along the top, bottom, and right sides. There's no printer-friendly version here, but there's little need for one anyway.

Bonus Potions contains twenty-five potions that were not included in the other Buck-A-Batch: Potions line. As with all of these products, none of these are standard PHB-style potions, where a spell is contained in liquid form. Rather, all of these have a special use to them, such as spellbomb potions, that can be drunk and then cast, or thrown and take effect where they shatter. However, as with other products in the Buck-A-Batch line, there's notable instances of products that do the exact same thing, with just one alteration made. For example, there are four different spellbomb potions given, each one with a full listing, but differing only in what spell they contain. Moreover, the magic item information doesn't completely conform to 3.5 standards, as the magic item aura listing is not present.

Even if you don't have any of the other Buck-A-Batch products, this one is very useful to keep on hand. The ideas for alternative potions are quite innovative and fun, even if the same ten ideas are expanded to twenty-five different potions. These are the kinds of alternative magic items that are different without being disruptive, and that's to say nothing of this being free, to boot. In other words, pick this up, as these potions are quite the bonus. <br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: The new potions were innovative in their design, such as potions that can be used as grenades, and take effect where they hit. And of course, it's free!<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: There's really only ten different potions here, just with several given slightly different effects to bump that number up to twenty-five. Also, none of them had magic item aura listings, though that's a small quibble.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

I recently downloaded this PDF. I was looking for a few potion ideas to throw into my adventures. I must say that this was worth the download! I thoroughly enjoyed reading through the potions! <br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: I enjoyed the fact that the potions were not "3 pages of how to use this potion" which can make gameplay and use a bit of a hassle.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Nothing<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
