Potion of speed

A potion of speed, sometimes called a potion of haste, was a very rare potion that put its imbiber under the effect of the haste spell.

Description[]

The effect of these potions lasted for a minute each, doubling the imbiber's speed, and raising their durability^[7]. Because of that, potions of speed were commonly used by scouts and heralds^[6]. The liquid was yellow and had black stripes; the fluid seemed to swirl on its own.^[7]

Creation[]

One possible ingredient for creating these potions was sweat from a fast horse.^[2]

Notable Users[]

Feldran Exeltis, a scion of the Exeltis noble family in the late 14^th century DR.^[9]
Matilda the White Lady, a retired fighter and member of the Company of the Swan.^[10]
