Brewed Span (3.5e Equipment)

Brewed Span
Brewed span is a deep brown with a curiously fizzy head in spite of not involving any carbonation. Technically a beer, the "intoxication" of brewed span (named for the mandrake-like span root) instills vigor with a focus on extended tasks at hand, such as crafting or profession checks. This intoxication is long lasting for an alcohol, but curiously the usual impairments for intoxication do not apply for these tasks. For any skill check which takes 8 hours or longer to complete, you gain a +5 alchemical bonus on the check while intoxicated with brewed span. Afterwards you must make a Will save (DC 15) or be compelled to drink more brewed span and continue working. During your intoxicated work you will not stop for any reason short of immediate threat, putting off eating and sleeping.

A character who consumes a tankard of brewed span must pass a DC 15 Fortitude save or become intoxicated (see Arms and Equipment Guide, page 32).

Cost: Cost::10 gp per pint.
