are potions worth keeping?

[Silverblade]

I have more potions that I know what to do with, they just take space an I rarely use any potions other than, the oil of speed, potion of thievery, potion of insight, and elixir of heath. Can someone tell me if they are necesarry for many battles int he future, and If i decide to leave them somewhere, where is a good place that is accesible dooring the whole game?... your resposes will be appreciated..Thanx

Some of the best ones can turn your fighters real vicous but for the most part dump them

[Silverblade]

can you suggest some?

[deathknight]

There is no place to dump them that their are accessable during the entire game unfortunatly because in certain chapters you might not be able to move around as freely. I like to use the copper coronet to store my stuff. Its a nice central place with a good shop inside and alot of npcs hang out there if you need to swap party members for some reason.

If you have ToB installed, you can buy potion cases which presumably, are used to store potions, much like scroll cases store scrolls. I'm not sure if they are available in SoA, but they can be bought from the people at Watcher's Keep (you have to accept the quest first before the merchant will sell stuff).

Some of the most over-looked potions are Potions of Mind Focusing. They raise your Int and Dex +3 for 12 hours. Very nice for AC and Missle bonuses, as well as added Mind Flayer protection. For fighters, some of the Strength potions are handy although they only last for 10 turns(minutes). For tough fights, Potions of Invunerability are useful on front-line fighters too.

potions that raise your intelligence are usefull if you are a mage. when it says you have learned all the spells for a certain level due to your intelligence, gulp a potion and all the sudden with an intelligence of 20+ you can learn a few more spells per level.

Exactly what I was going to say. Keep the ones that raise your intelligence and if you have 2 or more mages in your party get them to learn all the scrolls they can. I take Nalia into my party, do her quests, buy all the scrolls i can for her to get the XP for her learning the spells, and promptly dump her and get another mage and do the same to him/her.

Also, there are a buttload of potions in the game which you can sell or use. If you dont need the gold then use the heck out of them. Most of them wont even kill you or turn you to stone. I use the heck out of them so they dont take up so much inventory space.... and theyre beneficial too. Go for it.

The potion of fortitude raises your Constitution for a while. Use these before a level up to get the max amount of HP possible (even more than normal!!)
