Yeah, I have been reading a lot about these potions lately. I wouldn’t mind trying them though…. sadly they are not available where I come from…

There’s a mana potion as well: http://www.onlineobservations.net/boost-your-mana-and-hp-with-these-handy-potions/

Here I thought that was a bottle of Southern Comfort…

No, polymorph potions are absinthe. SoCo is a poison potion.

Transforming ogres into winsome maidens (or handsome rogues)? You may have a point, Todd. Clearly further research is called for.

(Sam makes a saving throw against Wisdom at a -7 penalty and…. ooooo, critical fail…)

I’m still holding out for the polymorph potion.

If it weren’t for acute caffeine overdose, there wouldn’t be a tech industry.

That’s a stupid amount of caffeine. Two of those are enough to provoke an acute caffeine overdose.

The price is absolutely ridiculous.
Game needed a gold sink. Didn’t you notice the housing bubble?

Yeah, the damn dupers inflated the economy and then left everyone else holding the bag. RMT is a real problem in this game.

I’m still nostalgic for the +40 Jolt Cola (circa 1985). That puts it right in NetHack and MUD1/AberMUD days. I guess the ASCII graphics don’t make for a great souvenir glass.

The cooldown is no joke. It really takes a while to work up the nerve to chug a second one (and they are stupid expensive).

Has anyone else here actually tried one of these potions?
