someone should write on what happens when you toss a potion at a monster

Time abiguity

"However, the poison wears off 1/10 of the time."

This could mean:

  • 10% of the applications fail. If so, would a reapplication also fail with a different potion of sickness?
  • When using the weapon, there is a 10% chance it will lose the poison quality, before hitting.
  • When using the weapon, there is a 10% chance it will lose the poison quality, after hitting.
  • Each weapon has a 10% chance of losing the poison quality with every turn.
