Suspicious Poison

Suspicious Poison is a Potion which is meant to look like a Potion of Healing but actually inflicts the  Poisoned condition when consumed. When thrown, it inflicts a notably more powerful condition than might be expected.^{[See Notes]}

Trivia and Notes

• The inventory icon is identical to a  Potion of Healing, and shares the `Drink` option as its primary menu action. This deception is presumably intended by the game.
  • The most beneficial use of this item is actually to use it as if it were a (surprisingly powerful) Grenade.
  • It cannot be used as a Coating, despite otherwise sharing common properties with this class of item.
