Don't allow drinking known badpotions

Unless you're immune to them.


I thought Xom was amused when you deliberately drank bad potions? Or is it just unidentified potions while under "stress"?

This also prevents some fun challenge games like "quaff all badpotions immediately" :)

This could be compared to removing the ability to leave the dungeon without the Orb of Zot.

Might as well force the player to drop the potions once they are identified.

Maybe badpotions should be replaced with new potion mimics. You can pick them up, and they disappear when you identify them. Wand mimics can disappear when you zap them or scroll-id them. Armour mimics can disappear when you are damaged after equipping them. Weapon mimics disappear when they strike an enemy. Book mimics disappear after you cast the learned spells!
