I was trying to move quickly to get from one side of a large map to the other in order to stop a machine from activating and considered drinking my potion of Expeditious Retreat.
According to the text of the spell, it adds +40 to your speed and you immediately Stride. It also adds the Fleeing condition.
The Fleeing condition says that you must use your actions to move away from whatever caused the Fleeing condition.
...The potion caused the Fleeing condition.
What am I running from? The potion inside my stomach? The caster who brewed the potion?
There was no enemy or damaging effect nearby.
How is this spell SUPPOSED to function? It's a fairly common potion. Do we have an actual ruling on this?
