== Notes and Trivia ==
*While having beneficial uses unlike most other potions Auntie Ethel has in her workshop, it is ''dangerous if not removed'' with Remove Curse before a Long Rest as there is no means to regain the lost strength.
** As of patch 5, casting Remove Curse simply triggers the switch to -1 str early. As such, the potion now must be worked around in one of the following ways:
*** Killing the character in question (they must actually be dead, not simply rolling death saves) and then bringing them back via withers or a scroll of revivify will remove the effect, but this will also remove certain other other "permanent" effects such as [[Loviatar's Love]].
*** You could respec at withers into a build that simply doesn't utilize your strength score. (Ain't no rule saying that paladins and war clerics and the like can't use finesse weapons.)
*** You can switch to the [[Club of Hill Giant Strength]] as your main weapon.
*** If you plan on taking a story path that would remove one character from your party roster permanently, (such as sacrificing someone to [[BOOOAL]]), you could give the potion to the character in question.
**** Simmilarly, you could give the potion to a Withers hireling you plan on later dismissing.
*** You can also opt to simply not consume the potion until the final stretch of the game, wherein you don't expect to *need* another long rest until the credits roll.
*One of three unique potions in the Acrid Workshop which has any beneficial properties. Unlike the others, this has a harmful side effect if not removed. Possibly a reference to its name; 'Broken Promises'.
