{{Story Potion Master}}
 
 
== Mechanics ==
 
* The {{Potion Master}} can select between three potions to use at night: a healing potion, a revealing potion, and an attacking potion. Each of the potions has a three-day cooldown.
 
** The healing potion will heal your target. The healing will be identical to a {{Doctor}}'s; it provides Powerful defense and cures poison. If your target is attacked on the night you heal them, they will receive the same notification as they would if they were attacked when a {{Doctor}} is healing them.
 
** The revealing potion will tell you your target's exact role. You will receive the same investigative results as a {{Consigliere}}, {{Coven Leader}} or {{Witch}} would.
 
** The attacking potion will deal a Basic attack to your target.
 
* With the {{Necronomicon}}, the cooldowns for the potions are removed.
 
* You can heal fellow {{Coven}} members, but you cannot heal yourself. You cannot use an investigate or attack potion on your fellow {{Coven}} members, however, or yourself.
 
 
== Strategy ==
 
* Normally, it is better to use a revealing potion instead of a healing or killing potion at the beginning of the game. Doing so can give you vital information about your enemies and keeps the fact that there is a {{Potion Master}} in the game a secret. It also makes you slightly better informed when you use your killing potion the next night, along with giving you time to locate any {{Town Protectives}} that may take you down if you attack someone. Along with this, it makes less room for mistakes in your decisions. 
 
* When you have the {{Necronomicon}}, it might be a good idea to use a revealing potion two nights in a row, and then use a killing potion on the third night. This way, the rest of the {{Town}} will not know that you have the {{Necronomicon}}, which could make the {{Town}} panic that another {{Coven}} role has it instead, and start focusing on finding another {{Coven}} role. 
 
* Use your killing potions in compliment with your revealing potions. This allows you to take out high priority targets like a {{Sheriff}} or the {{Mafioso}}.
 
* Your healing potion is a powerful weapon to negate the attacks of {{Town Protectives}}. Cooperating with other {{Coven}} roles is essential before you heal them. The other {{Coven}} members may decide to attack a specific target, knowing you would back them up with a Powerful defense. This is more useful when the attacking {{Coven}} member targets someone with {{Town Protectives}} on their side. If possible, you can work with another {{Coven}} member to "confirm" yourself as a role such as the {{Doctor}}. 
 
* When choosing who to heal, focus on whatever {{Coven}} member you think is most likely to be attacked. If you're unsure who will be attacked, you should protect whoever is most valuable - a {{Poisoner}} is important in the early game, the {{Necromancer}} is valuable if they have corpses worth using, while a {{Hex Master}} who has almost everyone hexed can be vital to protecting to ensure they live until their hex goes off. The {{Medusa}} and {{Coven Leader}} can protect themselves, and thus are generally a lower priority.
 
* If you inherit the {{Necronomicon}}, use the revealing potion on others to find their exact role, and paste their investigative results into chat (after claiming to be the {{Investigator}}) to attempt to [[Lynching|lynch]] them. Be careful, because lynching a {{Townie}} could result in you losing your credibility. Gain the help of others by assisting roles such as {{Survivor}} or {{Guardian Angel}}, as this will be a major help towards the end of the game. Once everybody believes you are the {{Investigator}}, start killing off the non-{{Coven}} (preferably the {{Mafia}} first) until you win.
 
** In addition to that, a smart {{Spy}} will notice the correlation between your "findings" and the {{Coven}}'s visits, outing you and confirming themselves in the process.
 
* You are essentially a mix of the {{Doctor}}, the {{Consigliere}} and the {{Mafioso}}. Refer to these roles' specific pages for strategies you could adopt into your playstyle.
 
* Unless you feel like you think your team can carry the rest of the game, do NOT heal a {{Medusa}}. Their Stone Gaze will still kill you.
 
*Do '''not '''claim {{Doctor}} if there is a {{Poisoner}}. You would be expected to heal their victim each night, and you would be discovered when you can't heal every target.
 
**However, if you have the {{Necronomicon}} then it is easier, but still risky.
 
 
== Trivia ==
 
* In the Public Test Realm, {{Potion Master}} was a part of the scrapped {{Coven Support}} alignment, and the only role described as such.
 
* There used to be a bug that could generate two {{Potion Masters}} when selecting roles from the {{Any}} alignment, happening most often in {{Coven}} [[All Any]].
