Istar's Truth (Magical Liquid)

This is a potion used in the courts of Istar to ascertain the truth in matters brought before the kingpriest or his appointed ministers. The potion forces its recipient to truthfully answer a number of questions. The person who administers the potion can ask the victim 2d4 questions requiring yes or no answers and 1d4 questions requiring longer responses. (An example of a question requiring a longer response: “What happened to you three days ago?”) The victim is allowed a saving throw with a -5 penalty to the die roll. If the save is successful, then the potion simply makes the victim sleepy but does not cause a loss of control of the will. The victim can then give false answers.
The length of the answer to a question is up to the victim so long as it is absolutely truthful and answers all the stated parts of the question. The DM can use this opportunity to impart important information to the PCs. The formula is known to any good priest in Istar of at least 5th level.
In a Dragonlance Campaign: This formula was lost in post-Cataclysm Ansalon.
