Love Potion #9, also known as LP9, is used as a tool by assassins, prostitutes, and anyone who wants someone completely helpless and unable to resist.

Their resistance to seduction checks is lowered, and this, in addition to being incredibly horny, makes them an easy mark. Once the drug has worn off, however, it induces a warm, sleepy feeling. The victim will usually fall into a deep slumber, allowing the assassin or prostitute free reign to do what they please. LP9 comes in a clear, odorless liquid that has a slightly bitter taste. The taste isn’t distinguishable when mixed with alcoholic drinks.
