I was just curious because I don’t usually interact with this type of system. Most of the time they just provide +2% lockpicking speed or something niche like that. You know stuff that only really matters on some builds for the highest difficulties.
But Potions of Speed, Elixir of the Colossus, and Elixir of Bloodlust are so damn good I started brewing them up anytime I got enough ingredients. It’s become almost as habitual as checking every barrel and box.
My husband has been the alchemist of our party! I just chuck all my ingredients at him before a long rest, and then I hear an “Ooooh, I think you’ll like this one!” and he sends me whatever he’s just brewed up. He uses potions on his characters all the time, I forget about them a lot, haha.
