I'd appreciate some clarification. I'm trying to make this totally clear in my mind...

Drinking a potion entails:
--A move action to pull the potion out (which provokes AOO).
--A standard action to drink it (does this provoke AOO too?).

If you're trying to assist a downed comrade:
--If you're adjacent to them, it's same as above.
--If you're not adjacent to them, you would have to use two move actions to reach them (which ends your turn) and then use a standard action next turn to pour the potion. All (?) of which could potentially provoke an AOO.

Is the above correct?

Thanks

I think that feeding the potion to someone is full round action and not a standard one, other than that yes they seem correct.

You've got it pretty much down. You could pick up the trait Accelerated Drinker, lets you drink as a move if you already had the potion in hand. A Handy Haversack still takes a move to draw from, but it doesn't provoke an AoO iirc.

There was a potion belt in 3.5 forgotten realms setting book which let you, once per turn, draw a potion as a free action.

Thanks for the help all. Leo, do you have a page number for the below? I can't find it in the rulebook. :-/

A character can carefully administer a potion to an unconscious creature as a full-round action, trickling the liquid down the creature's throat. Likewise, it takes a full-round action to apply an oil to an unconscious creature.

Very last line here. Page 478 Core Rulebook.

Greatly appreciate the help! :)

Also, you can use a syringe spear, or one of those construct snakes from the bestiary.

Edit:faster that way.
