Weight of potions?

[Devious]

How much does each potion weigh?

The rules never make this explicit so you'll need to decide what is reasonable.

In my own game, potions (one dose) come in small 1 oz or 30g bottles. My logic is that this is a reasonable amount to drink in one swig within TFT's short turns.

There's also text on ITL pg 103 that characterizes potions as a "tiny thing" which also supports this ruling, I think.

Based on the weight in pounds of a bottle weighing 1 oz (1/16 lb.) and the weight of 1/4 Cup of water (0.125 lbs.), I'm going to say that one potion rounds off to weighing 0.2 lbs.

Yes, I neglected the bottle's weight... 5 potions to the pound sounds reasonable.

Thanks Tippets!

That's a close match to my version:

"A typical potion consists of 25-50 ml (¾ to 1½ oz) of liquid in a small glass bottle resembling a modern liquor miniature. However some potions have other forms. The second most common form is that of poisons and “subtle” potions. These consist of a gram or so of liquid or powder, held either in a small vial (much smaller than the “standard” potion bottle) or in an envelope."

To cross check a bit, I looked at what Pathfinder 1 has for potion size. It does define it. It is a small vial containing 1 oz of liquid. Don't remember ever worrying about it but in my mind's eye, potions were always somewhat larger. Nice to know we weren't overloading ourselves after looting the alchemist's lab.
