Type Potion
Name Potion of haste
Icon Potion of haste.png
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 are not allowed to use this potion (penance). However, drinking an unidentified potion of haste gives you the effect with no consequences.

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."
