Potions
From The Unofficial POWDER Wiki
Potions are items that consist of a base potion and a magical potion type. These are randomly paired up with one another at the start of a game. All item related statistics of potions are part of the base potion, and are listed under that potion's base entry. This section deals with the magical effects of potions. Many potions will have somewhat stronger effects when holy, and weaker effect when evil.
Potions have a variety of uses:
- Most obviously, they can be consumed with the Quaff command.
- Other items can be dipped into many potions, for various special effects. A particularly nasty combo: Dip a holy smoke potion into any Poison Potion for a poison smoke grenade.
- When quaffed or used for dipping, they leave an empty bottle which can be refilled with various liquids.
- They can also be thrown at enemies (with range 4), inflicting the same effects on the target and nearby creatures.
- They can also be wielded as a weapon; each hit will cause a burst, and destroy one potion from the stack.
- Whether thrown or wielded, the "burst radius" will be 0, 1, or 2 depending on whether the potion was evil, normal, or holy.
