Witcher 2 Potion Length v2.0
###########################################################################################################
This mod makes it so that potions lasts as long as they did in the Witcher 2.

Potion and Food duration is so short in the Vanilla game that can be stressful and tiresome
trying to keep up in battle which is currently active, and which ones you need to take next.
All the while trying to focus on the six enemies around you constantly attacking.

The aim of this mod is to make it so that the player can focus on the combat and the
enemies around them. Welcome to Witcher 2 Potion Length.

2. POTION CHARGES

Number of Charges Per Tier: Standard/Enhanced/Superior
Blizzard Charges 3/4/5 Vanilla 2/3/4
White Honey Charges 3/4/5 Vanilla 1/2/5
White Raffard Charges 3/4/5 Vanilla 2/2/3
Pheromone Nekker Charges 3 Vanilla 2
Pheromone Drowner Charges 3 Vanilla 2
Pheromone Bear Charges 3 Vanilla 2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. TOXICITY

Toxicity now decreases much more slowly now that potions last longer. Those changes are as follows...
Toxicity decreases at -0.04 points per second.
So a potion with 20 points of toxicity will take 500 seconds to remove. (roughly 8 minutes and 20 seconds)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. FOOD CHANGES

The Well Hydrated Effect has been restored. Food and drinks now provide separate healing properties.
There are 3 Tiers to both food and drinks. Those changes are as follows...

Food is filling and provides long lasting healing benefits.

Tier 1 Food restores 2 hp for 750 seconds
Tier 2 Food restores 4 hp for 900 seconds
Tier 3 Food restores 8 hp for 1050 seconds

Ever find yourself drinking a lot after rigorous exercise? Now Geralt does as well.
Drinking provides more healing per tier than food, but lasts much shorter. Those changes are as follows...

Tier 1 Drinks restore 4 hp for 90 seconds
Tier 2 Drinks restore 8 hp for 120 seconds
Tier 3 Drinks restore 12 hp for 180 seconds

Also, the shorter duration for drinks makes the Gourmet Perk more appealing since it increases all
food and drink healing to 20 minutes.

**Healing for NEW GAME+ Players is 2 points higher for each tier. Applied to all mod versions.
**The potion, Swallow, heals 5 points more as well in NG+. Applied to all mod versions.
