Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems [BUG] Poison Bottles do half what they say

I've noticed that Poison Bottles, whatever their size, do about half the Poison damage they claim. Or, if I use them on an Undead, they do about half the amount in healing.

For instance, a Small Poison Bottle says it does 57-63 Poison Damage. If I use it, with 0% Poison Resistance, it deals 29 damage. Or, if Fane uses it, he recovers 29 vitality.

Doesn't matter the size of the poison bottle, either. It always does about half of what it says it does.

Anyone else seeing this? I'm not 100% sure it's not just me.

I have that too. No wonder I always felt they were too underpowered. Never bothered to actually look at the numbers, because I almost never used healing from potions, so never noticed.

Also, Hydrosophist says it affects potions, but it doesn't.

You mean Five-Star Diner?

EDIT: Wait, you meant the description of each level in Hydrosophist. I think they meant "scrolls".

It says "potions" in it. Although, Five-Star Diner's description is also inaccurate, as it doubles the effect of food and doubles the duration of potions (except poison), and thus also has no effect on healing potions. Its description essentially states that it does something that it doesn't do.

In the Divinity Engine, Stats-Shared-ExtraData-Data there is an entry PoisonedFoodDamageMultiplier : 40 that i think is being applied.

OP is correct about poison potion effect, whether it's used for poisoning humans or healing undead.




As to the Five-Star Diner, it works correctly on healing potions for me - it doubles the vitality restored. The image below shows FSD + Living Armor with a large healing potion.

Ok I wondered why Fane was so hard to heal - is this being fixed? Can I fix it?

.... I can't believe no one has commented on this
