Potent Belching
One round after drinking this potion, the character can belch forth an incredibly powerful blast of noxious air.
Range: 20 foot (6 m) straight line or a six foot (1.8 m) radius.
The stink is so bad that it makes eyes water and nose hairs bristle.
Everybody affected is distracted and annoyed; -2 on initiative, -1 to strike and -5% on skill performance.
In addition, the belch is quite loud and repulsive to "civilized" folk.
Each magically enhanced belch counts as one melee action/attack, and can be used to increase the size of the stink zone, or to keep the smell going (it fades after one minute). However, the penalties are not increased by multiple burps. The magic belching ability only lasts four minutes per potion.
Note: The belches from Orcs, Ogres, and Trolls are worse than any other races; double the penalties and duration of the stench. According to rumor, this potion was inspired by or based on a rare Faerie Food. Cost: 1,000 gold.
