Potions

Post by Darque » Sun Aug 08, 2004 9:46 pm

Here is a list of potions I am currently implementing in THOC (This listing is still in development):

Potion of Healing
When wholly consumed, this potion restores 9 hit points to the person. The effect is instantaneous and the potion is destroyed in the process.
STATISTICS:
Heals 10 HP
Value : 75

Elven Healing Wine
This bottle of elven wine also has the properties of a healing potion. During one of the elven festivals, the priests of the Seldarine's Hand imbibed too much that day and accidentally added a barrel of elven wine to a mixture that was intended for healing potions.
STATISTICS:
Heals 25 hit points
Value : 400

Potion of Extra Healing
When wholly consumed, this potion restores 18 hit points to the person. The effect is instantaneous and the potion is destroyed in the process.
STATISTICS:
Heals 50 HP
Value : 300

Troll Essence
This valuable potion is made by capturing and distilling the spirits of trolls. Normally only attempted by powerful necromancers and enchanters, the process results in a powerful healing potion able to instantly regenerate even severe wounds.
STATISTICS:
Heals 100 hit points
Value : 5000

Potion of Regeneration
This is a powerful elixir that imbues the drinker with the regeneration ability similar to that of a troll, wounds literally closing over and healing as you watch. The effect, which lasts for 3 turns, is to regenerate 2 hit points per round.
STATISTICS:
REGENERATION +10
Value : 500

Elixir of Health
The Elixir of Health is a powerful healing mixture designed to cleanse the body of all impurities. First it cures all poisons, then once the system has been purged, the imbibed is cured by 10 hit points to speed the recovery process.
STATISTICS:
Cure Poison
Heal 10%
Value : 250

Spirit Elixer

Mummy's Tea
Priests of Horus-Re in far off Mulhorand were the first to create this repellant but life-saving potion. A foul smelling brew, it is made by boiling used mummy wrappings along with naturally desiccated animal remains. The resulting tea can then be consumed to neutralize the effects of disease.
STATISTICS:
Remove Curse
Value : 550

Berduskan Black Brew
This dark drink was named after the merchants from Berdusk, who concocted this brew. Berduskan merchants were always in a hurry to complete their various deals and felt hampered by the effects of fatigue and the need to sleep. Upon drinking this brew, the effects of fatigue and weariness disappear, letting the drinker continue with whatever he was doing.
STATISTICS:
Removes fatigue as if user has had a full nights sleep.(Stamina Potion)
Value : 100

Flaming Oil
Inside of this glass pot is an expensive mixture of oil and other chemicals. When this mixture is set ablaze, it burns for several seconds at a very hot temperature. Flaming oil is sometimes difficult to use because it takes a long time for the user to properly throw it. Adventurers often carry oil with them to deal with trolls in the unfortunate event that they are encountered.
STATISTICS:
When thrown at a target, the glass pot breaks, spreading flaming oil over everything within a 5' radius, doing 2-16 points of fire damage. (like fire wall)

This elven concoction will purify the drinker of any diseases spreading through his body.
STATISTICS:
Cures Poison

1st of all, I hope you would add perphas a 150-200 HP healing pot which would be available at least at Hell difficulty.

This is mainly because since I don't need much dex as a staff monk, I putted most of dex points into vitality which ultimately puts my HP to 500 or so. Odds are ill get like 750-1000 HP for Nightmare/Hell. However that could be an exception due to the low need to get good dex for items (only need str for armor and such).

Note that presume you remove the Diablo II's pots to fit them in or you replace the earlier pots by them.

2nd, for that potion of regeneration doesn't seem to regenerate quick enough. Hell, I even had a paladin with lv20 prayer (+25 regeneration) and it only made an so-so difference on Act5 normal. Plus it becomes totally useless in Nightmare/Hell difficulties.

Thus, I believe such potion should give at least +25-30 regeneration for 3 minutes to make it any worthwhile as a potion.

3rd, I presume the permanent boost potions will not be somewhat common (buying from shops or as gainable as rare items). It should be either quest items or as rare as decent unique items (perphas even rarer than them).

If not, just see Diablo I, where your levels pretty much became worthless at Nightmare and it was just a matter of "buying" your levels' stats with those stats potions.

I agree on the rarity of the perm stat boost potions. They will not be buyable, and be extremely rare in the field.

This is a sticky so I figured it was fair game to post ;)

Darque, if you need the original inventory images for any of these and haven't already converted them, let me know as I did a bunch for PH.

Thanks...I already got all of the original inventory images off of the planetbaldursgate.com site...but if you already have them in dc6 format I would enjoy having them. They would also make a good addition to the Infinitum site ;)
