Well, if you drink one, it might kill you... but if you survive you gain a significant amount of experience. Usually about 1/4 level worth! May seem like it's not worth it at a low level, due to the high risk of death, but a high level character may be willing to chance it if he needs 100,000 XP for the next level :lol:

woah, a demolition potion can actually kill you regardless of your health level?

i drank like 5 in a row during my winning game, i thought they wouldn't kill you at full health. yikes, i guess i got lucky.

I just completed it (normal rogue) for the first time! :D

Never thought I would get there, but now wish I was braver as I could of gone much further. Was slaying dragons with 3 hits! Had a blessed long sword +3 +5 of vampire slaying, ac0 but not protected and didn't find any rings until level21 which helped with the food levels. A tip I picked up in these forums of using identity scrolls for rings and potions only definitely helped.

I just managed to beat it with a regular character, currently 2nd on the speed list.

Found a +2 +2 Katana of freezing very early on, by the end I had enchanted it to +3 +7. For most of the game I only had a ring of sustain strength, but found a ring of searching very late which helped me get back up quicker. My armor sucked for most of the game, I was usually stuck in cursed armor at AC 9, finally changed to a Shozuko set that couldn't be rusted, but never enchanted it.
