📋 About This Mod
Light weight fix for potions applying their effects to multiple characters when thrown.
This is the lite version of the mod I will release a hardcore version that uses bonus action to throw potions and restrict thrown distance as well as potion prices and status effects more in line as imposed by actual Dnd Rules.

[]AI will be able to use thrown potions of any kind now.

]Also fixed a couple potions that was supposed to work when thrown but wasnt working for other reasons.With this mod potions will only affect a single character when thrown. Moreover thrown potions will not trigger item or character passives that works "when you heal a character" such as Hellrider's Pride . Items' passives that functions when you receive heal will keep working as intended like Broodmother's Revenge .
You wont be able to drink potions that spilled on the ground with ur toes anymore by traversing over them. So the potion surface is just there as a cosmetic function to dissappear in 1 turn. Trying to throw potions where character circles intersect will often cause the same result.
You need to aim inside character circles to make sure they receive the potion succesfuly. Theres a catch with neutral Npc (with yellow circles). Pointer tends to snap at them when u move pointer closer to their feet and this will result assaulting them with the potion. so watch where u throw, they have a little area available, still it should be inside the circle as u can see in the screenshots, where it snaps, and where u need to aim for them to receive the potion.
Theres an edge case where both characters can receive the same potion when their circles intersecs more than %50 which cant be done in any normal means but might happen because of cut scenes or when combat breaks while they are placed. I might perfect it or might just keep it that way next update. Thats really rare and dont think it is as important.
Thanks to Juum,XiphiasRex,EvilSnail,Zerd,Drkekyll,Celes,Muffin,Lostsoul,MaxStrengthWizard for help with the various problems while making this mod.
