Bring Back Old PfE Potions

Every single potion of Protection from Evil that I've been finding throughout the module has been the Protection From Evil Single Use variant, instead of the Protection from Evil (2).

I don't know if you understand what I mean, but the implications are that the spells from the potions now last a ridiculously short time. (It seriously feels like something like 2 minutes, as opposed to 10)

10 minutes is already a pretty short time for a potion to last. Especially one as vital for questing as PfE. Even with the vanilla timing you would still drink on average three PfE potions throughout your average quest. Now you gotta drink about ten to make it through with it up throughout the entire time.

The creates an enormous reliance on mages for that one simple spell, and I always like the fact that no quest NEEDS a certain class to be completed.

I might be wrong with my suppositions, but what do the rest of y'all think?

I'd agree that PfE doesn't last long at all, and they're enormously useful for traveling. They're also seem to drop pretty frequently on quests, and are available from a number of sources, if I remember correctly- provided you put in a bit of effort.

I could be wrong- I've been doing nature characters for quite a stretch now- but I was never really hurting for pfe.

This seems to have been a pretty recent change for PfE potions, specifically. Not the spell in general.
