In-game, "Potion" is used as a general category of liquid consumables that includes the more specific categories of [[Potions]], [[Coatings]] and Elixirs, which highlighted in tooltips. Only consumables labelled as "elixirs" follow the specific rules mentioned above. | |||
In the tabletop game, "elixir" is just a word used to name particularly powerful potions, and a few potions in ''Baldur's Gate 3'' follow this convention despite functioning as regular potions. These "false elixirs" are included in the [[Potions]] page. | |||
