    The rouge was probably going to die anyway, and now the lich can’t use that potion

      I think we ended up killing two rogues the last game I played. Well, we killed one and sort of made no effort to save the other.

      Typically they heal from necrotic energy instead of positive like living things. So a healing potion for a lich is effectively a vial of pain juice for something living.

      Liches are undead, so that potion would probably rejuvenate necrotic flesh or it’s a strong poison to create more necrotic flesh. Both are not something supportive of living like a health potion would be.

      True. However, a lich’s “healing potion” would likely be a potion of Cause Critical Wounds, not healing. Whether or not it would be visibly similar to the Heal version would be up to the DM, I suppose. I don’t remember reading any specifics of that in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd.
