Concentration rolls to drink potions?

[Stink Bug]

Two nights ago I watched Valerie fail to drink a (non-alchemist) potion in combat, eventually leading to her to death. The reason? She was within an entanglement spell, and failed a concentration check to “cast” cure light wounds. Is this potion behavior something legitimate from pathfinder? Or new for that matter, since I can’t recall it happening before.

Did you click on the potion, or on the up-arrow then the icon there.

Just the potion icon = you drink the potion (normal rules)
Up-arrow icon = you are feeding the potion to someone which is treated in this like casting the spell in this game. ("casting a spell" failure applies I guess)

The up-arrow one is unique to this game, but feeding someone a potion would be a full round action that would provoke an AOO in the P&P.


Not 100% accurate, and not a *great* implementation, but feeding someone else a potion in combat should be a *very* rare occurrence.

I don’t remember but Valerie “feeding” herself a potion seems the likely answer. This is good info, I had no idea this feature even existed.

Oh, you learn very quickly when Valarie is the only one alive and you're scrambling for ways to get Tristian on his feet to that it's not a TPK :P
