Gozag shouldn't offer useless potions
I wasn't sure 100% if would have berserked, but I said, "why not", because the other effects included in that bundle were better than the other offers and zerk would have been a very very good thing.
To my (un)surprise, I did not zerk.
The problem is, this thing is not documented anywhere, as some god powers can bypass racial restrictions while others not, and some are so convoluted (like potion petitioning itself) that can bypass them only partially and learning by trying while using a semi-panic button isn't a very good design.
As far I cant tell, the cases where gozag potions don't work are:
* Zerk for undead|Fo (I refused to check if Vp blodless can zerk with Gozag or to updated myself in what is the situation with Vp gimmicks in trunk)
* Haste for Fo
Just to enjoy some more confusion in already over convoluted power, Heal wounds on VS does work.
So my humble proposal is either:
* remove from potions petitioning useless potions
* a much broader solution - which probably should be addressed in a specific topic: let all the gods' powers bypass racial restrictions, resolving this messy situation with all the problematic powers.
The biggest difference would be probably a huge boom for undead|Fo^Trog but I think this buff is totally worthy in order to have a much clearer and easily understandable design.
