New character idea

[Crystalion]

The only attacks they can use with throwing potions are throw, left hand throw, double throw, and leap (leap doesn't use a weapon so it doesn't matter what weapon you're holding).

Hmm, I don't think of Leap as an "attack" (no damage, afaik, just delivery of knockback AoE).

Sorry that I can't test it right now, but I vaguely recall Rabies (I know, I know, not a Barb skill) seeming to be available while holding a throwing potion recently (not sure though)... is there a relevant column in the mpq data to discern whether a throwing potion held dis/allows a particular skill?

p.s. re: crumpuppet's query: yes, I've been occasionally using throwing potions in *classic* (from shrine) for auto-hit kills of Andarial in NM by my clvl 19 shopper Find Item Barb (strangely, some Sorc always seems to have gotten there first and Static'ed her nearly to death ;) ).

Also the clvl 1 req fire potions are actually quite a twink for making clvl 8 weenie imbue chars (let em swarm you, then spam a couple pots) though I admit there are other ways to do that efficiently.

Alas the poison potion in classic doesn't have a long enough duration for my Sorc (clvl 62) to bother using it as an auto-hit pseudo PMH (no throwing weapons "of piercing" or Eth socketed bows in classic, you see, so my "non-existant" Dex is a problem for PMH delivery).
