A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:
"Do monsters get paralysed d15 more turns? Does beatitude have any effect if hitting monsters with a wielded potion (other than blessed weapons effect), such as on to-hit chances or paralysis duration?"
Quaffing a potion of paralysis paralyzes you for 25-34 turns; 13-22 turns if blessed, 37-46 if cursed. Like all methods of paralysis, having free action makes it ineffective.
Potions of paralysis may be thrown at monsters for an effect of 1-25 turns. Monsters may also throw it at you for weakened effect (1-5+ turns). The BUC status of the potion has no effect when using it against a monster. [1]
If you are wearing a ring of free action, you should preferably wield it so it will hit. For example, most quest nemesises will pick up the quest artifact as soon as they are awake and become magic resistant. Paralysis gives you some time to magic missile them.
This potion is the only harmful potion that costs 300 zm; the other two in its base price class are gain ability and gain level.
