    I tried to show this off to my fiancee when we were playing. I’m not certain if I missed the roll or there was a bug or something, but instead of bringing her back up, it gave her two failed death saves and permakilled her instead. Hahaha, whoops

      Did you throw the bottle into them? It has a splash radius, and also deals damage if you hit someone iirc.

        So THAT’S what happened!? I had no choice but to haphazardly throw a potion and pray to whatever gods think I’m amusing after Shart’s expert pathfinding sent her gallivanting directly into the lava, and it counted in the journal as bludgeoning damage.

        I was fighting the damn Grym at the time.

        I was half-convinced it was a bug, half-convinced I’d hallucinated the whole thing. I’ve been trained as a gamer to feel like standing in the splash radius should heal less than a direct hit, so that would be something to get used to.

        Although I guess it’s one of those things that does really make sense. I was thinking about that just this morning, that throwing a glass bottle full of instant healing magic should logically result in tiny shards of glass becoming stuck in your skin.

        Also if you throw it at them and “miss” somehow it heals you

          Well, you get splashed with healing potion and also not hit in the face with a glass bottle.
