Potion Questions Options

[Romulas]

I was just reading the description for the potion of absorpson, and noted that along with the electrical resistance it gives -10 to AC against crushing damage. The question is this, will AC be capped a -24, which I believe is a game limit, there are a few things that can make your AC better than that, -26 I think. If that is so then at the higher level or AC the benefits would not be that good, even though the electrical resistance is good.

Thanks,

There is no cap on AC modifiers which are specific to a particular weapon type; if your AC is -24 and you drink a Potion of Absorption, your AC against blunt weapons is then -34. The AC on your inventory page is still -24, but if you scroll down on your character record you will see 'Crushing -10' under alongside any other modifiers.

Also the -10 stacks with additional blunt modifiers. So if your character was wearing the Girdle of Bluntness and then drunk the potion you would see -14 as the modifier.

So Potions of Absorption are extremely powerful against certain enemies, but they are very rare (there are only a few in the game).
