FS#6730 - Potions should not be drinkable in stacks
I just accidentally drank my whole stack of mana potions. Only the first one affected me, the rest merely vanished ("nothing happens"), so that part is as it should be. The accidental disappearance of the rest of the stack is rather inconvenient, though.
It would make more sense if you could consume only one item at a time.

See comment, plus it would require a
total remake of how the server handle
the consumables.
Be glad it didn't kill you through indigestion as happens with food. Food also should not be possible to cram into your mouth all at once.
I disagree on this point of view, the fact that some effects doesn't stack and the possibility to consume more than an item at once are two different things, e.g.: the effect of a few items stacks and it's done on purpose, adding a mechanic to impede the consume of more than an item at once could make the use of consumable clumsy and require a few new facilities whose effects would only be a burden for the server (the server would need to treat consumable like a sort of spells, including timers, blocks and all the rest, which is imo too much for consumables). As for the "how much a mouth can cram" argument that would require a whole new set of rules on how big the mouth is considering race, character height, potion size. In the end, considering it's fairly easy to avoid drinking whole stacks using shortcuts, I think implementing any of the above facilities would not improve the gameplay at all but instead it may hamper it.
