I think there should be more of a level breakdown for the potions.
Otherwise, I suspect, people in the 'teens levels will be cleaning out
the newbie areas for the easy potions.

I would propose something like this:

Up to level 10, level 11-20, 21-40, 41-80, level 100+

I think that pricing looks reasonable.

Assuming the level breakdown I mentioned earlier, pricing like this:

5pp, 25pp, 625pp, 1000pp

Okay, maybe not that sharp of an increase - it just seems that if there
is a pattern or explanation for pricing structure, there is less
confusion by players.

If this is implemented, there should be some sort of post-death message
(instead of the usual "You have Died! You have weaker, less healthy, et
al.) indicating this information.

And, then some sort of message display at level 6 or 11 letting them
know that now when they die, they will be depleted and what they need to
do to restore those lost stats.

Hmm.. need more time to ponder & comment on this idea.
