Underwater potions


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I was thinking back to an old game and had a thought about drinking a potion underwater and whether or not it makes sense. I'm talking about drinking without any water breathing effect already in place. Also, as a second point trying to drink while already drowning.

Now, I am pretty sure there is no rule about it so I am not interested in any "If RAW doesn't say no, then yes." Style arguments because, due to word count limit in their books, they can't make a rule for everything and expect the GM and group to figure it out themselves. I'm pretty sure there is no rule for the effects of eating glass but I am pretty sure people would agree on the effects without needed an actual rule.

Please PLEASE lets avoid angry arguing and being rude to eachother. If you plan on posting rude or attack post in any way, just don't post as it is not welcome. Keep things civil and no passive aggressive attempts to skirt that.

I just want to see people discuss this and talk about whether or not it makes sense and possibly how to do it. Just to put it up there, feel free to add in dilution and if it will have any sort of impact.

Remember RAW people, just because there is no written rule does not mean it is allowed so avoid that argument please. I don't know why I felt the need to say that twice.


There is a something in the Advanced Race Guide, in the potion sponge,that sais:
...Unlike a potion that is drunk from a vial, a potion sponge can be used underwater...

Hope it helps


That actually tells me right out that they did make a rule about it. Neat. I assumed pills would be used to fix this problem but, ok.


i tried this in a swimming pool and made a You Tube clip
