Is there any way for a Barbarian to drink an alcoholic drink as a swift action? (While worshiping Cayden Cailean)
If not, then does anyone have house rules/homebrew magic items for it?
There is a trait called accelerated drinker designed specifically for that purpose.
Accelerated Drinker
Benefit:You may drink a potion as a move action instead of a standard action as long as you start your turn with the potion in your hand.A: It calls out potion (and nothing else, but that can be overruled)
B: It says move action not swift action. I was looking for swift action.
C: I want to be holding my two-handed weapon while doing this (gripping and regripping free actions)
Maybe the Sipping Jacket
Alright. I really want to make a drunken brute barbarian that worships Cayden Cailean work. They get this ability:
Raging Drunk:
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 the normal fatigue that follows a rage. Tireless rage does not negate this nauseated condition but the internal fortitude rage power does.
I'm not sure how "you may drink as a move action" feats/traits would interact with this ability (such as the aforementioned accelerated drinker trait). Any thoughts?
@Scott Wilhelm
I've looked at potion glutton and the flavor prereq kills me. Unless you can get a GM to understand that something similar should exist for Cayden Cailean (or change the prereq) this wouldn't work for me.
@Knight Magenta
The Sipping Jacket only works once (during combat at least), and I want to drink, drink, and drink some more during combat.
You're asking for a swift action to make you not expend rage rounds = You're asking too much. I would never allow that, as a DM.
Also, you'll have to retrieve the alcoholic drink. That's a normaly a standard action, move action with a Handy Haversack and a swift action with Spring Loaded Wrist Sheaths.Retrieve as a swift + drinking as a move is well good enough.
Any other trait/feat making you able to drink as a move action is a waste, since you already get it from the archetype.
With Quick Draw (which many GMs rule that it covers more than just weapons) and Potion Glutton I could do exactly what you're saying with the big problems being:
I want to worship Cayden Cailean, not Urgathoa.
Getting infinite alcohol (which isn't terribly difficult because magic items exist).

Pledge a fraternity. Downing a tankard in under two seconds is par for the course on most campuses. Usually it's more like ten in under twenty seconds, but I'm pretty sure that's about a swift action a drink, if you break it down.
In my experience, most frats have being an uncivilized barbarian with rage issues as a prerequisite for entry, anyway, so the fluff text is already there.
If you multiclass with Drunken Master Monk, you can take Fast Drinker.
A: Monk and Barb alignment restictions don't allow them to multiclass (unless you have an obscure aasimar trait)
B: Multiclassing. Eh. The guy that I want to make most certainly does not have the patience to be a monk (also, see A)
C: The Fast Drinker feat requires 18 Con and should really be changed so that it works with the drunken brute barbarian anyways

Not sure how my GM would feel about that...
Alchemical items, potions, scrolls, and wands cannot be drawn quickly using this feat.And since you can't take two swift actions the same round you'll have to spend at least one move as well to drink.
Are alcoholic beverages potions? No they aren't. I'm not looking to abuse potions here, just wanted some simple alcohol abuse.
Oh, sorry.You can draw a weapon as a free actionI've never heard of alcoholic beverages being weapons. Though if you can convince your DM that a bottle containing alcohol counts as a weapon while a flask of acid doesn't, go ahead.
Well, my GM rules that Quick Draw applies to things other than just weapons (which includes alcohol). I mentioned this in my first reply to you.
Probably too late by now.
Surprised nobody has suggested a beer hat.
You need a drinking buddy with the spirit share spell. No action drinking.

Handy haversack + really long straw + keg.

Anything can be an improvised weapon, I suppose...
Still, it seems your GM is willing to give you a little wiggle room to make things work out. If he's otherwise on board with the mechanical effects you're going for, maybe try working with him to homebrew a feat or magic item that does what you want it to?
