Ideas:

Demonlord: why not have base hp/mana/mv on the stat page, it would be very helpful for me,
and im sure alot of other people would appreciate it

Demonlord: i know, i know, we already have alchohol to help aid in mana regen, but why not
make a potion, pill or food that restores a set amount of mana, make available only by
the create potion spell maybe?

Demonlord: here is an awesome idea i bet noones ever come up with, since druids are like
the medics of BR, why not give them create pill at level 40 instead of create potion

Demonlord: why not have base hp/mana/mv on the stat page, it would be very helpful for me, and im sure alot of other people would appreciate it

-I like it. not sure where would be the best place ot put it, stat is already a bit crowded, but i like the idea in principle

Demonlord: i know, i know, we already have alchohol to help aid in mana regen, but why not
make a potion, pill or food that restores a set amount of mana, make available only by
the create potion spell maybe?

-nope. no. uh-uh. no way. not a chance. ANYTHING that restores mana runs the risk of being extraordinarily unbalancing. if you're tired of waiting for your mana to regenerate, start a dwarf or a kender and play that character while your spellcaster sleeps off a firebreather at recall.

Demonlord: here is an awesome idea i bet noones ever come up with, since druids are like
the medics of BR, why not give them create pill at level 40 instead of create potion

-it's an interesting idea, but i think that pills are best left as they are. there are some pills that are very powerful, but which are very difficult to get. if you could just create them so easily, they would become too easy to get. also, i think that there are far fewer pills than potions, so the chance of getting one of those really powerful pills would be too large.

As far as create pill... I'm pretty sure we'd start running into the same problem we had a while back with create potion: people will keep casting it and casting it and casting it until they get the pill they want, then just leave all the other pills sitting around to spam the heck out of rooms. (Don't do that people. or, if you do, make sure to sac all the potions you create.) Other than that... while there certainly are fewer pills than potions, and the really good ones are thus certainly a higher percentage, I think it's less extraordinary than dis is claiming. There's a lot of pills out there that people simply don't realize are pills and generally have not terribly interesting effects.
