The usage of potions isn't limited to the character holding it. Did you know you can drop the Potion on the ground, ideally while other team member are in the vicinity, and hit it with either your sword or bow?

Or did you know you can throw your potion next to another character to patch them up? No? Me neither until recently. I noticed it by pure luck, and my mind was literally blown away.

I never came up with the idea to throw a sacred potion, as they are hard to come by, especially in the beginning. This is especially useful if some of your characters run out of potions in the middle of a fight, but another still has plenty left.

But keep in mind: Do not throw the potion directly at your companions, as they will get damaged! Please, don't be so mean knocking out your teammates, don't be like me! Instead - throw it at their feet.
