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.
This ability replaces fast movement.
Rage Powers: The following rage powers complement the drunken brute archetype: boasting taunt, good for what ails you, internal fortitude*, liquid courage, moment of clarity*, roaring drunk, and staggering drunk.
Just had a discussion about this where it was mentioned "if I can't do this, then what's the point of taking this?" to my ruling of this power.
So, you have a character that uses this rage power, and let's say you have a bandoleer with somehow a tankard attached to it. You'd have to move action to take it, and move action to drink it, correct? Is there any method to not spend two move actions other than have it already in your hand? You'd drink an entire tankard too when doing this? Are there other things in the game that you can put on your person to take out or hold onto that you can drink that holds more than a tankard?
To me, the benefits are mainly for not provoking for drinking/move action over standard, and I imagine there are other things that exist that would make this good too. Am I correct about the action economy? You couldn't weapon cord a tankard or a potion because it's not a weapon right? Could you by RAW or RAI strap a tankard or a canteen to your person somehow that you could drink things without having to take them out? It was suggested that a canteen could have a strap around your body so you can just as one drink action have it.
