This curious elixir is, despite its name, only one of countless such cure-alls available for purchase (also, it was not developed by a real doctor). As with most such products, both the ingredients and the effect of the tonic are vague, but it indeed fulfills its promise to soothe pain and enhance the user’s vigor and alertness.


A character who uses a maneuver to drink the tonic increases their wound threshold and strain threshold by five until the end of the current encounter, but must succeed at an Average (d d ) Resilience check as an incidental or suffer 5 strain—an unfortunate side effect of the quicksilver included in the tincture. If your character is already benefiting from the use of the tonic, additional uses have no further effect. Furthermore, once the effects wear off, if your character’s wounds or strain now exceed their threshold, they’re immediately incapacitated and suffer all related effects.
