Accelerated Drinker and Distilled Spells

[GhostwheelX]

Does Accelerated Drinker work with the draughts created by Distilled Spells? Are they actually treated as potions, or as an entirely separate class of consumables?

Distilled Spells (Su) wrote:

A brewkeeper can spend 1 minute distilling an extract or spell she has prepared or an unused spell slot into a draught. When she does so with an alchemist extract, the draught functions as if enhanced by the infusion discovery. Spells can be distilled only if they qualify to be created as a potion or oil from the spell but without the limitation of being a 3rd- or lower-level spell.

Once a draught is created, it persists for up to 24 hours, even if it is no longer in the brewkeeper’s possession. After this point, the draught becomes inert and the brewkeeper regains the use of that extract or spell slot (although she must still prepare that slot normally, as if she had cast the spell or used the extract from that slot during the day).

As long as the draught remains potent, it continues to occupy one of the brewkeeper’s daily extract or spell slots.

A draught functions as a potion or oil, and can be used by any creature.

Spells per Day: A brewkeeper who has alchemist levels can choose alchemist as the class to enhance with this ability, increasing her alchemist extracts per day.

Bolding mine they are treated as a potion or oil.

Yep, it counts as a potion/oil if it's from a spell.

The part that's not clear is whether it's still a potion/oil for an Alchemist, since it also has this line:
When she does so with an alchemist extract, the draught functions as if enhanced by the infusion discovery.
which kind of contradicts the bolded part from Talonhawke and muddies the water. Just make your Brewkeeper a Cleric or w/e to be sure. :)

Thanks, not sure how I missed it, but much obliged :-D

EDIT: Another related question, if the caster drank their own draught, could they apply the spells to an animal companion through the Improved Spell Sharing feat?

What about all the magic items that call up potions, such as Sipping Jacket?

While it makes sense for Accelerated Drinker to apply to draughts, I wouldn't see Sipping Jacket apply to it.

A Draught (created by distilled spell) functions as a potion (or oil), but is not a potion.

By that reading, Sipping Jackets/Accelerated drinker apply to potions only, so wouldn't apply to draughts.

Wow, that prestige class looks awesome! Unfortunately the group where we drink will probably only be playing Pathfinder again next campaign if I run (so no Brewkeeper PC for me)
