On today's podcast I got an email from a listener named Kate who wanted to know more about the sweet water potion that's listed on page 127 of the Dungeon Master's guide in AD&D. The Sweet Water potion purifies liquids, neutralizes poisons, and is a handy tool in AD&D, though often undervalued by players.

Highlights

🧙‍♂️ Sweet Water is worth 200 experience points.

💧 It purifies liquids instead of being drunk.

🚫 Neutralizes poison with no saving throw needed.

⏳ Effects last 5 to 20 rounds before potential contamination.

🍹 Handy for unexpected drink contaminants.

🍽️ Can be creatively used in various situations.

💖 Often underrated but highly valuable in gameplay.
