Potion of haste

Version 0.21: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Type	Potion
Name	Potion of haste
Icon

An enchanted beverage which speeds the actions of anyone who drinks it.

Quaffing a potion of haste causes your action delay to be reduced by 1/3 for 1d40 + 39 (more) turns (max 79), making it excellent for both escaping dangerous opponents and dealing much more damage in combat.

Followers of Cheibriados will have the potion's effect blocked.

Formicids' innate stasis makes them unable to become hasted, so this potion is useless for them.

Normal: "You feel yourself speed up."
Already Hastened: "You feel as though you will be hastened longer."

History
