Potion Bandolier?


Rules Questions


is there anything like that bandolier from 3.5 that let you get to potions and drink them in 1 standard action?

I'm not aware of any. Figured if there was one it would appear in the adventurer's armory but didn't see anything on a search through.

While not officially made by Paizo, we at LPJ Design have created two types of bandolier; Alchemist’s Bandolier and Spellcaster’s Bandolier in our upcoming NeoExodus: A House Divdied Campaign Setting. They might be what you are looking for.


there is now one in ultimate equipment

Bandolier (UE)

This leather belt is worn over one shoulder and runs diagonally across the chest and back. It has small loops or pouches for holding eight objects the size of a flask or small dagger. You can use the "retrieve a stored item" action to take an item from a bandolier. You can wear up to two bandoliers at the same time (any more than this and they get in each other's way and restrict your movement).

From the description given in the UE for a Bandolier, you can not draw and drink a potion from it as a single standard action. You will have to perform a "retrieve a stored item" action (move action that provokes an attack of opportunity) then a standard action to drink (which also provokes an attack of opportunity. The only advantage I see from buying and using one of these is that you can drop your backpack to reduce your encumberance at the beginning of combat and still have access to the items in your bandolier. If your strength score is high enough that this doesn't matter to you, then it would only be a flavor item.

Please correct me if I failed to see something here since I have a newly created Drunken Brute that wears two Bandoliers full of potions and flasks of ale.

Yeah, bandoliers don't have any real advantages over other types of containers. They just look kinda cool, I guess? I mean you can store gear in pockets/bags/wherever but with a bandolier it is more explicit how many things you can carry and it also allows you to carry more things on top of the things in your pockets/bags/wherever.

Also, try and not post to threads that are more than a year two old as most of the original posters may not be around anymore and probably won't see this. Instead, just start a new thread with your question.
