| A potion which grants you temporary resistance to the elements and poison. |
Quaffing a potion of resistance temporarily grants you 1 rank in fire, cold, poison, and electricity resistance. The effect lasts for 10 to 29 turns and also gives one point of magic contamination.
Strategy
- These potions are excellent for dealing with powerful elemental foes when you don't have a chance to change your gear.
- They can also be useful to characters who find no good sources of electricity resistance, as there are few enough nasty electrical threats (Nikola, electric golems, storm dragons if encountered early on) in the game that the potions you find will probably suffice.
History
Prior to 0.11, the duration of each resistance granted by the potion was determined seperately (i.e. your cold resistance might wear off in 11 turns while your fire resistance would wear off in 28 turns).
