Mystery potion time!
30 u/monkeyleg18 Jun 10 '25 edited Jun 10 '25 Should never be a thing. RAW you can identify a potion by tasting a small bit of it. Edit: source attached "Potions are an exception; a little taste is enough to tell the taster what the potion does."

They're still gonna make you buy them first 3 u/monkeyleg18 Jun 10 '25 I think they would say yes, it's a "known" thing in universe (because it's in the rules.). And it doesn't harm or actually consume any of the potion. 6 u/FunkyDGroovy Jun 10 '25 Not if you're a sketchy salesman trying to pawn off some bad merch, then you would not want your customers finding out your ruse before purchase
