Potion of might

Version 0.12: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Type	Potion
Name	Potion of Might
Icon

A magic potion which greatly increases the strength and physical power of one who drinks it.

Quaffing a potion of might grants your character the might status effect, granting +5 strength +1d10 damage to your melee attacks for 1d40 + 34 (more) turns, up to a max of 80. This extra damage is extremely useful for powering through dangerous opponents in the early game, and still provides a quick slaying-style boost later on. Bear in mind that these potions do not stack with berserking, as that status effect already includes might as one of its benefits.

Quaff Normally: "You feel very mighty all of a sudden."
Quaff While Mighty: "You still feel pretty mighty."

History

Prior to 0.12, quaffing a potion of might while already mighty would give a point of magic contamination.
