Mr_sir,

your quote: "thats the only thing i really dislike about games like bg, bg2, iwd and iwd2"

Same for me, I really do like the Infinity Engine. This is more a nuisance than a major flaw. But you're sure right Aerich, I really do have to "baby-sit" them. I'll probably get brave and try a party of 4 or maybe even a duo one of these days.
But I didn't mean to get this thread off topic so getting back to potions. I also like to use the fortitude potion for an elf f/mu combo or any elf. Elves are limited to a natural 17 con so this potion is a big help for one of the "big" fights where a few extra hps can be helpful. Also I usually don't have enough stats to bump everything on a combo character so potions like fortitude, agility, and strength tend to be handy (to me) for those characters. I also like to use strength to turn my mage and/or cleric into "pack mules" when we are leaving with a huge pile of loot and a merchant is nearby, like the Hand or Lower Dorn. Don't have to worry so much about encumbrance that way. Speaking of strength potions, isn't there a sling that applies strength bonus (or am I thinking BG2) so having a cleric use a strength potion would be helpful.
