Potion of giant strength

A potion of giant strength was a type of concoction that modified the imbiber's raw physical power to that of a certain kind of giant.

Description
The liquid of these types of potions was transparent and contained a fingernail of the specific giant. They varied in rarity from uncommon to legendary, which scaled with the power of the giant. Potions of giant strength were sold across Faerûn.

Potions of giant strength had a sliver of hill giant's toe nail floating in the vials. The liquid itself had a fetid smell, making it hard to swallow.

Powers
The imbiber had an increased chance to hit opponents, as well as do more damage with thrown or melee weapons. The types of potions available modified the user's strength from their own to that of a hill giant, frost giant/stone giant, fire giant, cloud giant, or even a storm giant.
