the free potions are nice, but the loss of a resurrection scroll to figure it out the first time is no bueno.
I mean as a powergamer I'm fine with it, but it IS odd that your character has a "murder me" button ready to press on demand.
I figure it should be replaced by a poison potion, if those work in reverse, or the character should get 3 scrolls of poison dart instead, so that you can stand in poison to heal yourself (it's almost the same thing)
