That's it.In fact, the only time you need to have a potion (as opposed to a scroll, which is half the price) is when there is no appropriate spellcaster nearby.So - in a fight, when the spellcasters are far away (so - potions of cure X wounds, or potions that vastly help in a certain combat situation), or in situations where you simply don't have a spellcaster.Cure wound potions should never be used between combats (because there is always time to get to a scroll or wand). Use them to fill up hitpoints when you're really low.What other potions could I see a use for?Restricted use protection spells seem good - because each party member needs it. Unfortunately all choices about a potion have to be made when you make the potion, which makes them almost useless for elemental resistances and the like.In general, my tactics for potions are1. Always have a CMW or better on each party member. Buy them if necessary.2. Use them as a last resort if someone goes down.3. Keep non curing potions found during an adventure - if you sell them, you only get as much as a scroll anyway.4. Never buy any other potion unless you've got no casters in the party.</blockquote>
