Haven’t tried it yet, has any one thrown a potion of str to see if it gives group effects? Do all potions work Iike this?
I never knew potions worked that way until Maximuuus pointed it out. (It didn’t respond to that because it left me speechless). I assume, though, that this behaviour is a by-product of systems governing potions and surfaces rather than specifically programmed to work with particular potions.
The combat design isn't particularly challenging at all. That's why I'm so surprised people have issues beating the Githyanki patrol without cheesing or pre-positioning.
I think it’s because players default to using class abilities, of which Magic Missile is the only automatic success. Every other class ability gets worse as the opponents get better. I don’t see why most of Larian’s homebrew ignores this principle.
