What does "potable" mean?

What is a "potable?"


2 people marked this as a favorite.

"Drinkable"

Potable water is water that is safe to drink, as opposed to poisoned or contaminated water (full of bacteria, or latrine seepages, etc)


So, a potable thing is just a drinkable thing? Would you call that a game-term definition of "potable?"


Yes, it can mean an elixir or a potion, or it can simply mean something that is drinkable.

Where are you seeing this used that's causing a problem?

Ask you GM which is right, and go with your GM's response:
Can I take Potion Glutton to get free Swift action extracts from my alchemist?

  • Yes, Extracts are potable.
  • No, potable is drinkable liquids and an extract is your "spells" which require a minimum of the time it takes to use an extract.

It may be a strong indicator that the feat will change in errata when the book is reprinted.

PFS Potion Glutton clarification:

Quote:
Change the text of the potion glutton feat to the following, "Benefit: You can drink potions, elixirs, or other potables (but not extracts) as a move action without provoking an attack of opportunity. Normal: Drinking potions is a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity."
