Potion of Speed 5e
Potion, very rare
When you drink this potion, you gain the effect of the Haste spell for 1 minute (no concentration required). The potion's yellow fluid is streaked with black and swirls on its own.

Haste without any of the risk is crazy. Giving a character a free extra action, even in a limited scope, can be a massive advantage. Stock up on these if you want your party to have an advantage against top-tier enemies, as there aren’t that many ways to mitigate a potion like this!
Haste grants a creature the following:
+2 AC
Their speed is doubled
Advantage on Dexterity saving throws
An additional action that can be used to do the following only:
Make one attack roll
Dash
Disengage
Hide
Use an Object
The penalty still will apply when the potion effect ends after 1 minute, so make sure you finish your fight in ten rounds!
Doubling a creature’s speed includes any speeds it has; Haste affects swim, walking, burrow, and flight
Potion effects persist through unconsciousness; if you’re knocked out during a fight, Haste will still be active if you regain consciousness within the minute duration
