Essence d'Absentia
Aged over two hundred years this is a drink for the strongest of stomachs, bravest of alcoholics and... fools. Its origins are unknown, though it has been said that a single shot can drive a man to insanity. Unfortunately, upon testing this, pink maelephants attacked from all sides and we were forced to flee to the storeroom. Though don’t worry, we quickly figured out that they are ticklish.
Effect: confusion

Brachina's Essence
Brachinas are feared among those who have met them at least once, and survived long enough to tell the tale. However, they're also know for their unfairly tempting sexyness, that drew those who couldn't resist into their doom. This liqour got its name after it was used in tavern card games, and some bystander noticed that after drinking it, all the consumers seemed to lose all their intelligence to the level of a braindead troll, reducing their thinking to only the most basic of thoughts and instincts, hence its name. It was already late though by the time they discovered its effects, because huge brawls and rumbles erupted in many taverns after its initial popularity, always ending with the tavern smashed, burned, torn apart, or simply blown away by a hail of magical spells. There was even a time, when after someone took a sip of it, she started to slowly lose all rational thoughts, feeling only gentlest caress one could dream of, when a rude guy asked her if she want to dance with the him. Annoyed by his thoughtlessness, she took a katana from someone's belt and tried to chop him up, but he dodged it before she could land a hit. It quickly escalated into an amazing scuffle, chairs flying, heads smashing, and walls creaking. Even the militia didn't want to go in before everyone was knocked out, hauling out the unconscious bodies afterwards, like tree trunks. None of them knew what happened after they sobered up, but the injuries from the Great Tavern Battle still was a base of many wild rumors throughout the Sword Coast.
The effects usually start to take effect in about shortly after the potion was consumed. The first sign is that the drinker starts to feel pleasured, as if being taken care of a really mischiveous nymph. Then, the consumer starts to lose the track of time, and a strange mind-effect, akin to amnesia, and becomes unable to think about anything, but the nymph looking woman before him or her. The next phase is already the final one, and in that, mostly instincts are what remain, making the drinker like the braindead troll mentioned above. They're extremely irritable, raging to even the smallest and most polite of interruptions. Most uproars were caused because no one knew this, and the drinking buddies couldn't shut up, and annoyed the consumer with all kinds of senseless talking. They are the first to beat up usually.
If you want to drink this liquer, you're guaranteed to feel nice like never before for a short time, but it'll turn into colorful bruises, lost teeth, and hurting bones before you know it. The military took most of the supplies of it, but some merchants still have a few bottles. Recommended only in extreme cases of loneliness and looking for a fight.
Effects are confusion, int drop and increased str.

Sorry, we don't do scripted potions. We used to allow people to submit their own, but that was even more hassle. Alcohol or potion effect only. Funky

Would it work with only confusion and stat changes? I edited the text a bit too.

Before I put to much thought into this drink I have in mind, I wanted to know if "darkness" can be added as a potion effect.

Drink requests are officially reopened, by the way. If you want a drink to make it into Rip's, you've gotta spend at least as much time on it as it will take me to put it in the mod. Using that criteria, I only added Lion's Brew to the selections at Rips. Descriptions are necessary guys! Funky Please check the post a few pages back where I describe the requirements for a drink to get added. In short, you must spend more time on it than it takes me to add it to the mod. In other words, a description of some kind is required. [/b] Funky[/quote] Bolded for emphasis.[/quote] Quoted for laziness.[/quote] I don't think I can really let this go on that much longer, so do please read the thread before posting.[/quote] Should we just close this thread?[/quote] [/quote]

Ryun's Regal Rye Relaxer
There once existed a tale of one "Ryun Extribalt", was contracted by a Dwarfish king along with his traveling companions to find a supreme brew that while still giving the dwarves their well-desired relaxation could help them recover from recent battles. Being a wealthy man of extraordinary influence, the dwarf promised him an unfathomable amount of gold. Ryun as well as his companions, being in need of money (and more importantly extremely bored because they could not fund their adventures) accepted this task.
It is said they spent two whole years, searching every field, fallow or fertile, to find the best ingredients, hoping that the quality had something to do with the potency. Upon returning from their search, they were kept in an ancient brewery with hardly-working equipment, abandoned due to the dwarves dying in the fields of war of the course of the search for proper ingredients. Realizing the importance of their work, they spent six whole months trying different mixtures and solution and brews, all the while contracting what few dwarves were left to collect ingredients from what places they had left unexplored. It is said that the final product was a gigantic vat of 150-proof rye whiskey. However, despite using nearly half a unicorn's horn to strengthen the healing effects of the brew. All the while, the king became afflicted with a deadly flesh-rotting disease unknown to this generation, and became increasingly worse in condition as he was left unchecked in his quarantined throne room. In desperation, Ryun prayed to his deity for divine help, so that mayhaps the dying city could be saved before it was doomed to eternal decay.
It is heard that an angel appeared, blessing Ryun's large vat of liquor. This fact is argued among many theologists as it is never specified which Deity Ryun prayed to, and to which religion it belonged, as well as the fact that liquor is in all forms not a holy creation. Regardless, the story continues to tell that the rye whiskey turned an transparent, almost glowing rainbow color, before steadying on a barely visible pale white. It is said that the quickly-bottled liquid was rushed to the throne room with great abandon, nearly shattering on the great stone floor (twice!). The next thing they knew, he was stumbling out the door in a stupor, all signs of sickness gone, aside from a hefty case of alcohol poisoning (which is quite a feat for a dwarf).
The great vat of liquor was diluted and placed in thousands upon thousands upon millions of bottles, allowing it to be used for many generations for many people, while still retaining its regenerative capabilities and preventing most cases of alcohol poisoning in the holy brew so that it would heal more than kill. Eventually it was found that the dilution also weakened the effects so much that it didn't heal quite fast enough, and the Dwarven city was eventually erased from the map. This tale is widely refuted by all religions, mainly due to the suggestion of a "holy and healing alcoholic brew" but also due to the fact that brewmasters that hated the church would retell the story in order to promote their alcoholic knock-offs.
A recent excavation of ancient mountain ruins have uncovered billions of bottles of pale white liquor, which, as the story goes, knits the wounds of the injured over a period of time, leading all religions to ban the retelling of the story as well as leading to all the knowledgeable tavern owners picking up what shipments they could in whatever way they could to market for their own profit.
While extremely diluted and weakened by the horrid water quality of its home mountain, centuries of aging has led to a almost-transparent white liquid that bestows a generous regenerative bonus to those that imbibe the sweet smelling liquor in the bottle before you.

I've done enough lurking on these forums, I finally made an account.
And I think you can figure out what I hope the effect is. >_>

Kahrhoshe's Khonkhokhtion
This concoction was Kahrhoshe's first and last attempt at home brewing. As a half elven monk of Wu-pan the dragon god, he felt that the dwarves relied too much on alcohol and not enough on purity. Knowing that he could make a better brew than any dwarf (he is of elven heritage so why wouldnt he KNOW he was perfect!) he threw caution into the wind and in with the barley, hops and malt, threw in a new herb he had identified as Pisquetarackntaolana. It had been a brewing herb lost for centuries as it was so difficult to find that people had given up ....or so he was led to believe.
Come to find out, they hadn't given up, they just knew better. Yes it has healing properties, yes it has a boost to the wisdom of the imbiber that would rival GODS.......but alas it put you in such a stupor that the person ended up passed out long after the effect of the potion wore off.
It is rumored that there are some who can stomach the drink.....but since it was usually a dwarf, kahrhoshe gave up the plan after a limited batch of 100 barrel. To this day the concoction sits on a dusty shelf awaiting its poor victims.
( you can fine tume it but maybe these effects--huge wis bonus, saps all con longer that wis lasts, heals like a heal potion, --dont know if it can be made to use poison save to save for the con loss? or dwarf specific? Just some ideas)

Moon's Shine
This dark liquid seem's to absorb the light from around it, leaving the area around it slightly dimmer. It is believed that this brew was distilled by the little known group, known to outsiders only as "The Shadow Legion".
It is said that the arch wizardess Moon distills this brew deep within the darkest Shadowy reaches of her lair, using dark magics in the process, to make a Shine that was dark enough for her liking.
How this batch of Moon's Shine escaped the grasp of the Shadow Legion is unknown, but one thing is for sure. It's been known to cause people to get lost in the shadows.
Special effects: causes a Shadow Shield effect while getting you drunk at the same time. (Edit: due to not understanding the post about custom coding for potions, just use Shadow Shield since it fits with the theme)
Hope ya like it, and let me know if there are any further problems I might should change ;D
Thanks, Moon

Is there still room for new drinks to be added?
Wondered this for a couple years now but was not sure of any process to it, until stumbling on this thread (via forumuser's post history).
Is this basically dead and gone or is this still open (dependent on circumstance, zots and the other "givens" when asking about something like this)?

I'm still open to it in theory, though not any potions with magical powers. I have more than enough on my plate at the moment, though, so don't expect fast action on suggestions.
