Name	Effect	Description	Ingredients

Philter of Love	The next time you see a creature within 10 minutes after drinking this philter, you become charmed by that creature for 1 hour.

Potion of Animal Friendship	When you drink this potion, you can cast the animal friendship spell (save DC 13) for 1 hour at will.	Agitating this muddy liquid brings little bits into view: a fish scale, a hummingbird tongue, a cat claw, or a squirrel hair.

In addition, the reach of your melee attacks increases by 5 feet. Everything you are carrying and wearing also increases in size for the duration. When rolling damage for weapons enlarged in this manner, roll three times the normal number of dice; for example, an enlarged longsword would deal 3d8 slashing damage (instead of 1d8), or 3d10 slashing damage (instead of 1d10) when used with two hands. When the effect ends, any hit points you have above your hit point maximum become temporary hit points.
