What’s more proper than a witch with their cauldron?
And who is a more famous witch in the world ofDungeons & Dragonsthan Tasha?
One of the more recent additions includes the sixth-level spell, Tasha’s Bubbling Cauldron.
But not all spells will be worth a sixth-level spell slot.
So which potions should you create?
Potions made with this spell will disappear when you cast the spell again.
So creating a stockpile is not an option.
Are you expecting a brawl?
Are you the only caster in a party of martial fighters, barbarians, and monks?
Then a cauldron full of Potions of Growth would do wonders.
7Potion Of Polychromy
Use a bonus action to gain advantage on stealth checks for one hour.
Ever want to be a chameleon?
Tasha by Linda Lithen
You’re free to pick whatever colors you want, opting for fashion, social sway, or camouflage.
With enough potions for the whole party, this can make a world of difference for sneaking around.
Consider pairing it with Pass Without A Trace for even better stealth.

6Potion Of Fire Breath
Use a bonus action to make a fire-breath attack.
Are you envious of the dragonborn in your party usingtheir elemental breath attack?
This potion, when drank, lets you breathe fire at a single target within 30 feet.
Potion of Polychromy by Stephan Andrade
It deals 4d6 fire damage, which is pretty impressive for a bonus action.
While its 13 DC isn’t very high, it still deals half damage on a successful save.
Too many weapons for only one character.

What’s better than your party tank having a 21 Strength?

Hill Giants by Johan Grenier
And this way, no one gets left behind.
It’s as functional as it is entertaining.
While not as fantastical as the other potion options on this list, this is my personal favorite.

In short, you don’t need to sleep during a long rest.
These magical items will enhance your D&D campaign’s story.
Zero risk, all benefits.
Potion of Healing by Pauline Voss
3Potion Of Greater Healing
Heal for 4d4+4 hit points
This was to be expected, right?
With very few ways to heal, any spells that provide healing from a wizard are worth a look.
And the Greater Healing potion is the strongest choice.
League Guildmage by Svetlin Velinov
This will yield seven to nine potions.
So we’re looking at as much as 36d4+36 health, between 72 and 180 health restored.
And with the freedom of who gets that healing when, there’s a ton of value here.

Potions of Resistance, as the name implies, grant resistance to a damage pop in for one hour.
This is generally for elemental effects like fire, thunder, ice, etc.
But a gracious DM might also allow for types like Slashing or Psychic.
It’s suitable for a wide variety of problems and environments and last for longer than you’ll need.
Advantage isthe golden glory of D&D.
Imagine how seven of them might feel.
Regardless, the benefits are clear.
