Of course, this makes me think that if you took a crit that eviscerated your belly could you pour the potion directly into your open stomach? It would in effect count as digesting the potion.
This was one thing I was wondering about and I guess I did not relate well enough. Yes the apprentices stomach was split open to the point that the potions could directly enter the stomach and thus being considered "consumed".
Potions Info:
The potions of healing are essentially "herb" at 100%, "herb" at 50%, etc. Does it make a difference if the "herb" is magical vs mundane? IMHO no it does not matter if you can cut the potion with something that just changes the value of the effect.
So their are not problems mixing the potions but there might be an over dose problem or addiction problem.
(The fact that you could become addicted to healing potions brought a funny scene to mind in which an old adventurer asked a bar keep for a healing potion instead of a drink. It was more like essence of "herb" and not healing potion of course. But then in an adventurer bar it might just be healing potion.)
Glass Shards Issue:
I was wondering what people thought about healing potions ability to expel the glass? Or for that fact expel other matter from the wound. Do they do this? Do they not? Would a healing potion heal a wound with a sword stuck in another's body? Or if that is a stretch what about an arrow wound with the arrow still in the wound?
I like the idea that you should have to open the apprentice up and remove the glass and then heal him again. But that might be just me.
Where did this come from?
Well I think of common situations (or read/hear about them) and try and make it more dramatic or just change things around to see if it would cause more drama. The TV show the Waling Dead got me thinking about these types of situations and how a bad situations can get even worse.
The Apprentice:
The apprentice is a NPC not really important at this stage but maybe if the game goes on a long time.
Thanks all
