Shield hand free for potions


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

I'm a bit unclear on rules for shields, is it possible to have a potion in the shield hand and to drink from that potion while still retaining a shield bonus? Even with a buckler or maybe a ring of force shield? There's lots of stuff on weapons and wands, but I haven't been able to find anything on potions.


If you are using a light shield or buckler, you can hold and use a potion, but you lose the shield bonus until your next turn when doing so. I think the ring of force shield may be your best option if you want to keep the shield bonus when using a potion.
