Description
This rare and unusual brew is fortified by a process of repeated partial freezing, during which the ice is continually skimmed off, resulting in a draught with more than 10 times the alcohol content of ordinary ale. Icecap ale grants a +2
Alchemical Bonus to the drinker’s
Strength and
Constitution for 1 minute, as well as a +4
Alchemical Bonus on
Saving Throws against compulsions and
Fear. However, after this initial surge of energy, the drinker becomes
Fatigued and takes a –4 penalty on
Dexterity- and
Strength-based skill checks for 1 hour. In addition, the drinker loses all memory of events that transpired during the 1d4 minutes directly following consumption of a draught of icecap ale; a successful DC 20
Fortitude Save negates this memory loss. Additional doses of icecap ale imbibed during the hour following an initial dose cause the drinker to become
Sickened for 1 minute (instead of gaining a bonus to
Strength and
Constitution) and to suffer all the negative effects of icecap ale.
