[Sacrosanct]

So, unless you and your players are obsessive OCD types with eidetic memories, you cannot play AD&D RAW.

Or you were a kid in school who spent every class reading the DMG book instead of the textbooks from that class you were supposed to be reading...

Did you play with the variable number of delayed segments between drinking and when a potion took effect?

From 1981 to 2014 when 1e was my main edition I played? No. But we did in the aforementioned game earlier in the thread. Not gonna lie, from almost the start in 1981, we saw the rules and after about 5 minutes of trying to implement them in the game, they got shelved. I don't think my experience is unique in that regard.
