Doubles the effectiveness of potions.

Speed Potions would last twice as long,
Health Potions would heal twice as much...

etc.

Any thoughts???

I looooove it! Definitely in my top 3 suggestions for new content.

I could see myself fighting to resist getting this skill.

Would that make more people inclined to use the bonemeal potions, healing 80 points a shot would be nice....

It would also help the players that refuse to use Bonemeal!

That is very true. I know that if I didn't have to use the bonemeal, I might think about the other choices I have. Once the storyline gets fleshed out more, then going after the bonemeal might be a choice you don't make.

+1 nice one,

These types of ideas scare me because I am always fearful of the unbalancing of the game.
Speed potion is way to strong if you double the number of rounds it is in effect for.

yeah, double effectiveness might be a little overboard...

maybe (x1.5) or as low as (x1.25)?

[instead of double : (x2)]

---or---

First Rank - (x1.15)

Second Rank - (x1.30)

Third Rank - (x1.45)

Fourth Rank - (x1.60)

Fifth Rank - (x1.75)

Sounds good to me, especially the reduced effect schedule for various levels of the skill. Capped at 5?

(Did you mean herbalist rather than hermetic?)

Excellent idea, but i feel that having to use so many SP to make it effect might cause people to not use this skill. Why not make it capped at 2 or 3 but make the requirements to use this skill really high, like a total HP of 100 or more, Increased Fortitude lvl 3, and/or Comabt speed 2. This way high level players have something to work twards as they grow past normal levels.

Lvl 1 = 1.25
Lvl 2 = 1.75 (Max lvl)

I just feel that having to use up to 5 SP to get a good use out of this ablity will take away from more important skills like Increased Fortitude, Regeneration, Bark Skin, etc...
