Alcohol is a cursed potion that makes you think you’ve increased your Charisma and Intelligence, but it actually decreases Wisdom and Dexterity.
It decreases charisma too
It increases bravery though. This could be important against opponents with high intimidation.
Is that an actual stat boost to bravery, or just a consequence from hit to your wisdom stat?
I think coffee is more like a potion that temporarily increases a stat, only for it to cause a bigger decrease once it wears off.
Coffee does not wake you up, it allows you to ignore that you are tired for a short time.
So for both of them, they temporarily let you ignore status effects from a condition, but you still take damage till you either fix the underlying problem (rest) or wait out the repair process (sickness)
Coffee is a stamina potion with a debuff when it wears off.
And also is a diuretic which causes people to need to poop. Not great for battle.
Similarly, cough syrup doesn’t actually fix anything. It just makes you cough a bit less while still being sick.
From now on, when I’ve got a cold and I’m working on fixing bugs in our code while living off coffee and cough syrup, I’m calling it a dungeon crawl.
Cough syrup is a sleeping potion. Sleep is what heals.
Actually adderall is the mana potion. My reiki gets supercharged when I take adderall
Adderall gives you 20% accuracy and speed. Cocaine gives you a 50% speed boost and a damage over time effect.
if you have the adhd trait you need one if not several potions of clarity every day to function normally
Cough syrup is a wandering spell
