I need consumeables.
Added 2024-08-27 15:00:52 +0000 UTC(spoiler) I'm going to give Will the Sourdough ability because some of the upgrades I have in mind for it are going to be absolutely unfair.
That being said, what kind of consumeables can Will purchase when starting out?
All i can think of at the moment is a bone totem that you smash and it summons a bunch of ravens to peck out your enemy's eyes.
PED's, of course, like combat potions that raise stats, prevent damage, or reduce pain, healing potions, etc.
And that's about it off the top of my head.
I know there's tons of creative single-use items out there.
As with all suggestions, the more interesting it is, the more likely it will be mentioned, and the more powerful it is, the less likely it will get into the hands of our protagonist.
Because a literal win button is not fun to read or write.
Added for clarity:
Sourdough:
Active: 1 Charge
The user may gain the full effect of a Consumable Relic only using 80% of the relic. The remaining 20% may be reserved to ferment a new Consumable Relic, if provided powdered Relics, time, and additional Charges. Scales with Focus.

Really hard to "consume" consumables, like a rock that powers you up if you manage to eat it 4. A magic chalk-stick that "cuts doorways" into walls, you draw an outline on a surface and the consumable erases things within the outline 5. Various information gathering consumables: a consumable that answers a single Yes/No question about anything, can theoretically answer any question if you have enough of them, and you're clever enough to constrain your search space 6. Sense-Swap Grenade: The senses of all enemies get randomly switched around, so that enemy A has the vision of B, the hearing of C, and the tactile sense of D 7.

2024-08-27 15:13:56 +0000 UTCA flashbang like item that makes everyone in a certain radius forget what happened in the last 60 or so seconds for a short amount of time depending on their focus, including the user of the item if they were close enough. Maybe as a downside the user needs to be in the blast zone because it can't be thrown or something.

2024-08-27 15:12:18 +0000 UTCDidnt think that far but could work, or some thing very ordinary like a stick. Only considered the effect in initial idea
Kalle
2024-08-27 15:11:41 +0000 UTCPaper armor tokens that block slashing and piercing damage. Downable pot's that give the user a 1 use breath weapon scaling on endurance/vitality. Feather fall token to negate fall damage. Be interesting to see whats classified as a fall. Scale polish to help keep Loth alive like say an invisibility or translucence effect. Weaponized sleep aids for adventurers who struggle with the horrors of the tower. Magical fertilizer or animal growth hormones. Spell balls like ye olde fire fighting globes. Shatter the flask and get a prize, make its strength slightly randomized as if oxidation plays an effect. A chime that emits a sonic attack when rung. A sphere that once activated, swings an etherial hammer at everything around it. Water's from various floors or areas with metamagic properties. Caltrops that once activated, i.e. placed, either move toward foes that mean the trap master harm or silence the target theyve pricked, preventing communication. A shrunken head type item.
Gaunt
2024-08-27 15:11:29 +0000 UTCPlayed pathfinder (1st edition) alchemist once that had a formula that essentially let you reuse potions endlessly (usually single use). Spent a large quantity of gold on a max level potion of greater mighty fang +5. Essentially gave me +5 (max lvl enchantment) natural weapons. I think my DM put in a dispel magic trap Specifically to nuke the potion after I used it over and over for like 6 months. Anyway the first thing that comes to mind besides random d&d and pathfinder potions is the feather tokens or marvelous miniatures now in pf2e. Boat - creates a boat that lasts for 24 hrs. Tree - creates a 60 foot tall tree. (Activate either of these inside an enemy...)

Nicholas Gracia
2024-08-27 15:08:32 +0000 UTCConsidering some of the powers we've seen, it seems that certain levels of mental effects can be there. Say bait that makes the monsters that are drawn to it want to devour it alone or ravenously focused on it. A treat that is so delightful, it makes others feel positively towards you. Oh, actually, there's a clever one... chalk/ink that only is visible to your party members.
