I created this random potion generator for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Dungeon Masters (DMs) so that they can quickly come up with level-appropriate potions for players to find in a treasure hoard or for sale in a local apothecary or potion shop.

This generator includes all of the potions for 5th Edition that are described in the main sourcebooks for Dungeons & Dragons, with the exception of a few potions that are setting-specific and wouldn’t be useful in the majority of campaigns.

Best of luck on your adventures! May it never happen that you drink a Potion of Poison when your health is already low by accident.
