OOTS #1300 - The Discussion Thread

It's not "trying to pretend." If the rules don't say something then the rules don't say something.

Potions in 3.xed are low-level spells made into potions; there are no more restrictions on drinking a Potion of Reduce Person and a Potion of Haste than there are on having someone cast both Reduce Person and Haste on you.

(Don't know whether some other edition eliminates spell stacking. Indifferent to this lack of knowledge. 5ed remains unimportant.)

Not true. Normal AD&D and D&D had mixing potions as a possible problem or a possible benefit. WotC removed that interesting feature in 3.x.
5e restored it.
But (in support of your point)

For the purposes of this strip, the 5e return to form has no effect.

PS: bunsen is who brought up Potion Miscibility in the first place.

And as for 5e being unimportant:

Spoiler: nope to your assertion

that statement is massively incorrect.
1. It brought new people into the hobby and thus to this board.
2. It brought people back to the hobby, and to this board, who had left the hobby or both.
