Coffee is a mana potion and Cough Syrup is a health potion

19 comments

Alcohol is a cursed potion that makes you think you've increased your Charisma and Intelligence, but it actually decreases Wisdom and Dexterity.

- It decreases charisma too

  It increases bravery though. This could be important against opponents with high intimidation.

I think coffee is more like a potion that temporarily increases a stat, only for it to cause a bigger decrease once it wears off.

Coffee does not wake you up, it allows you to ignore that you are tired for a short time.

- So for both of them, they temporarily let you ignore status effects from a condition, but you still take damage till you either fix the underlying problem (rest) or wait out the repair process (sickness)

- Coffee is a stamina potion with a debuff when it wears off.

- And also is a diuretic which causes people to need to poop. Not great for battle.
  
  Similarly, cough syrup doesn't actually fix anything. It just makes you cough a bit less while still being sick.

  IIRC, diuretics make people pee, not poop. Caffeine stimulates the colon which makes people need to poop, which is unrelated to it being a diuretic. Diuretics can cause constipation because they pull water from the digestive tract.

From now on, when I've got a cold and I'm working on fixing bugs in our code while living off coffee and cough syrup, I'm calling it a dungeon crawl.

Cough syrup is a sleeping potion. Sleep is what heals.

Actually adderall is the mana potion. My reiki gets supercharged when I take adderall

Adderall gives you 20% accuracy and speed. Cocaine gives you a 50% speed boost and a damage over time effect.

- if you have the adhd trait you need one if not several potions of clarity every day to function normally
