addicted to the yellow lotus and spent most of their lives in lotus-induced dreams.
Incense made from Yellow Lotus can be found in several varieties. A half-dose of Yellow Lotus induces
sleep in a willing target. At the DM's option, visions and omens can also be granted through its use. A
full dose functions as a successfully cast Divination spell, and can have any divinatory effects appropriate
to the setting and story.
Yellow Lotus is extremely addictive. Any time users inhale the smoke of Yellow Lotus incense, they must
roll Endurance vs. Potency 4. A failure means they have become addicted. Once addicted, Yellow Lotus
users must inhale the smoke (or otherwise consume the plant) at least once every one or two days, or
they will suffer intense penalties to all rolls.
Grey Lotus
Grey Lotus is a drug that causes madness when consumed in liquid form. It is found in the Grey Lotus
Swamp east of Khitai. When imbibed, the user rolls Intelligence/Mind Power vs. Potency 5. If this roll is
failed, the imbiber becomes a raving berserker that attacks everything in sight with unnatural strength.
This roll is not necessary if the user is willing to allow the potion to affect her.
Victims of Grey Lotus have no control of themselves and will kill and destroy until the effect wears off.
Effects last 1-4 minutes. Those in a Grey Lotus Rage attack the nearest creature and continue to fight
until unconscious or dead, or until no living thing remains within 30 feet.
Grey Lotus also exists in a rare powdered form, and can be blown into the face of enemies. It affects a
single victim and has the same effects as drinking the potion. When used in this way, the target rolls
Intelligence/Mind Power vs. Potency 4 to resist effects.
White Lotus
This is a beneficial herb that heals wounds and cures disease. It is said to be cultivated in a secret place in
Vendhya. When the herb is made into a tincture or infusion, it can be ingested internally to cure
common diseases. Used in this way, it instantly removes any harmful common disease and provides relief
from pain; it does not affect magically-produced disease and contagion. Used as a poultice, salve, or
essential oil, white lotus can be applied to wounds to stop bleeding and promote healing, as well as
numbing the pain of topical wounds. When used on broken bones, torn ligaments or muscles, and other
crippling wounds, white lotus halves the time needed for healing.
Golden Lotus
The juice of the golden lotus cures insanity and disease. It is even rumored that this potion can save a
man poisoned by the black lotus. Few people know where Golden Lotus blooms, although it is said to be
found only in places that have never been disturbed by dark magics. The priest Totrasmek of Hanuman,
in Zamboula, possessed a vial of this rare potion. When ingested, golden lotus negates all penalties to
attributes and promotes quick healing of wounds. It can be used topically to stop intense bleeding.
