Drunken Brute / Alchemist


Rules Questions


Drunken Brute

Barbarians are known for their ability to consume potent drink, but drunken brutes turn drinking into a combat tactic, using the potent liquor to fuel their rage and grant them additional powers. A drunken brute has the following class feature.

Raging Drunk (Ex): While raging, the drunken brute can drink a potion, or a tankard of ale or similar quantity of alcohol, as a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. A potion has its normal effect, while an alcoholic drink allows the barbarian to maintain her rage that round without expending a round of rage for the day (instead of the alcohol's normal effects). For each alcoholic drink consumed while raging, the barbarian is nauseated for 1 round when her rage expires, in addition to the normal fatigue that follows a rage. Tireless rage does not negate this nauseated condition but the internal fortitude rage power does. This ability replaces fast movement.

My question, can a multiclassed Barbarian/Alchemist drink extracts while raging?


From the raging drunk explanation I would think so. It is a swapped power you can drink a potion for a move action but you cant move as fast. And with most of the alchemists powers in potions that would be a nasty comb. But then again im no expert.


Potion, yes. Extract, no.

Extracts are notably different in the rules from a potion, and the Drunken Brute ability specifically call out potions. This has been discussed on other threads... but yeah. If you want to get a cool effect drinking as move action you are going to have to make it into a potion.
Fortunately Alchemists are awesome at making potions, so it is still a great combination. :)

Yeah... I agree... Still a fun idea for a character: Dwarven Brewmaster! :)
