Metabolism Boosting Perk Patch

Fixing your metabolism improves what they are supposed to do.

describe:

Metabolism boosters do not work properly in the base game version. Only works if Geralt is poisonous enough to drink the selected potion, so drinking an extra potion will do nothing. Additionally, whenever triggered, it successfully reduces the potion's toxicity without consuming any adrenaline. So it can quickly become too powerful.

How it works:

This patch makes the perk work as expected. If you have enough toxicity, it does nothing. But like the perk that lets you cast a token with AP when you need it, this can reduce toxicity when you need it. So if you're maxed out, it will use AP to reduce the toxicity and let you drink the potion anyway.

If they are enough to reduce the potion's toxicity to a level that allows you to drink it, it will always drain all of your current AP. But if one is enough but you have 3 AP, it will consume all three and reduce the potion's toxicity to 0.

It should now be properly balanced as you can still maximize the toxicity before using it. Therefore, you will still poison Geralt unless you have countered your resistance. Additionally, it takes time to build up AP again, so drinking unlimited potions is no easy task even with a dedicated adrenaline build.
