Potions
I ended up creating my own loot chart for my players and wanted an easy table to roll on for potions rather than page through the DMG and pick something at random. So here’s my personalized Potions Table.
( If you have Homebrew potions you can implement them into this chart by removing the Official potions or possibly changing Restoration potions to 1-10 and the Homebrew can be 11-20)
1-20 Restoration
21-30 Elemental Resistance
31-40 Elemental Boost
41-50 Stat Boost/Luck
51-60 Official (DMG 187-188)

Restoration (1d20)
