Fantastic bottles for fantastic potions (Laura Kagara, for "Oceans of Potions" in Polyhedron 65, RPGA/TSR, November 1991) -- This article was a compilation of contest submissions, with rules for dozens of new potions for AD&D, many of them quite good. One of my favorites is Life Suspension, which could have saved so many characters back in the day:
The imbiber of this potion falls into a coma-like state for 30 days. During this time he heals as if he were resting. This potion is often used by adventurers on characters who have been poisoned or cursed; buying time to find cures. The duration of the coma-like state only can be interrupted by a haste spell.
