Pillars of Eternity eGuide Items

Potions

Potions are the only ingestible item that can be consumed during combat. Doing so always invokes a drinking animation that replaces whatever the character has in his or her main (right) hand. This animation does not create a significant delay, but it is slow enough that the player appreciates the cost of consuming the potion. Potions also always cancel the effects of the previous potion. For example, a character can never have more than one potion in effect at a time. However, if the character drinks identical potions, it does extend the duration of the effect instead of replacing it.
