[QUOTE="Arlough, post: 4823882, member: 79335"] [b]The difference between potions and elixirs[/b] Though I cannot find anywhere that explicitly states it, all officially released material leads me to think that potions consume a healing surge to take effect, while elixirs instead count as one of your item daily powers. Elixirs tend to be more powerful, given that you have many healing surges, but only 1 item daily power per milestone per tier (or would that be per tier per milestone?). Example: [B]Potion of Fonzie[/B] vs [B]Elixir of Cool[/B] [SIZE="1"](because I daren't use actual WOT examples.)[/SIZE] [B][SIZE="4"]Potion of Fonzie[/SIZE][/B] [B]Power (Consumable):[/B] Drink this potion and spend a healing surge. You do not regain hit points. Instead, gain a +5 on the next skill check that uses your Charisma modifier. [B][SIZE="4"]Elixir of Cool[/SIZE][/B] [B]Power (Consumable):[/B] Minor Action. You drink the elixir and gain a +5 to your Charisma modifier for all skill checks, (but not for attacks) until the end of the encounter or for 5 minutes.
