Allowing up to 9th level potions

[Kelb_Panthera]

I should have known that WOTC would have two very similar (but not quite the same) things with the exact same name in two different books...

It's not the only instance of it either. Check out the Effigy creature in Complete Arcane and Monster Manual 2. Although those really aren't that similar I suppose.

I can't imagine why you would believe that, given that a. literally nowhere in this thread has that point been brought up at all, and b. the post in question quoted a non-core book as a reference.

I mean, as a response to "skull talismans already exists," saying, "yeah they're found as an alternate potion form in this non-core book" seems to me to imply one of two arguments being made. One, the argument hinges on the alternate part, which given the erroneous citation this'd now be a moot point. Two, the argument hinges on the non-core part (which is in its own way a form of alternate rule from core), which is what I read. I fail to see how my belief should be unimaginable.
