Potion of Diminution 5e
Potion, rare
When you drink this potion, you gain the "reduce" effect of the Enlarge/Reduce spell for 1d4 hours (no concentration required). The red in the potion's liquid continuously contracts to a tiny bead and then expands to color the clear liquid around it. Shaking the bottle fails to interrupt this process.

Being tiny has its perks. Potions of Diminution showcase this to its fullest.
The exact effects of reduce do the following:
The target’s size is halved in all dimensions, and its weight is reduced to one-eighth of normal.
This reduction decreases its size by one category—from Medium to Small, for example.
Until the spell ends, the target also has disadvantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
The target’s weapons also shrink to match its new size. While these weapons are reduced, the target’s attacks with them deal 1d4 less damage (this can’t reduce the damage below 1).
Enlarge/Reduce normally only lasts up to a minute; this alters the effect to work for a full hour.
A creature can’t opt to save against the effect if it consumes the potion, even if its unknowing and unwilling to shrink upon consumption.
