[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 4946131, member: 12731"] By the way, I've found that there is something wrong with the Lifeshield and Stormshield Potions. Why would you buy a potion and sacrifice a healing surge to get resistance to a single attack when that resistance is hardly better than the healing surge value you will have at that level? What do you say about the following revision? In short, the resistance is made explicitly equal to your HS value. And if the potion saves you from [I]all[/I] damage, you escape any conditions too (because how immunity works). [B]Potion of Lifeshield Level 7+[/B] [I]This lemony potion shields you from necrotic energy.[/I] Lvl 7 100 gp Lvl 27 65,000 gp Lvl 17 2,600 gp [B]Potion Power (Consumable):[/B] Minor Action. Drink this potion and spend a healing surge. You do not gain hit points as normal. Instead, once during this encounter, you can use an immediate interrupt action to gain resist equal to your healing surge value necrotic against a single attack. If this completely negates all damage, you're considered to be immune to the attack. [B]Potion of Stormshield Level 8+[/B] [I]Your skin takes on a metallic sheen when you consume this slate gray, ozone-smelling drink.[/I] Lvl 8 125 gp Lvl 28 85,000 gp Lvl 18 3,400 gp [B]Potion Power (Consumable):[/B] Minor Action. Drink this potion and spend a healing surge. You do not gain hit points as normal. Instead, once during this encounter, you can use an immediate interrupt action to gain resist equal to your healing surge value lightning or resist equal to your healing surge value thunder against a single attack. If this completely negates all damage, you're considered to be immune to the attack. And of course, these potions too are ruled by the level+10 limitation discussed previously. [/QUOTE]
