Is there a way to feed potion for an willing creature¿


Rules Questions

1,for unconscious creature it is a full round action, but how is conscious creature(like an ally’)¿
2, can a unseen servant feed a potion to his master¿


A syringe spear or injection spear could probably do it. If they're unwilling they would probably save though.

Unseen servant could probably hold the potion while you drink, but it would likely still take your standard action to drink it.


Let's experiment. Get a stick and start flailing away as if you are fighting a monster. Then have somebody else give you a drink. You can't do it without expending some attention on not drowning and keeping your head still. Chances are most of the potion ends up on your shirt.

I would say it's a standard from each of them. I'd let a feat reduce it to a move action from the drinkee. I'd probably say move (and swift with the feat), if they had two doses in the potion vial and expanded both. This would represent being less careful and spilling lots of liquid magic around.

Something similar came up locally for one of our alchemists. What is the action to pour an Extract down an ally's throat? We decided it was a standard but I'm not sure that's correct. Potions should be the same though.


Solution: Potion beer hat w/ straw. Amaze your friends!

Age of Worms introduced a character who used Syringes for potions.

As a Standard Action, he can inject himself with a solution similar to a potion. Each syringe holds a single charge of the liquid and the "potions" were stored in removable glass tubes. It intimated that you could inject potions in others including unwilling creatures, likely with a attack roll.

Another possibility would be to create Oils instead of Potions. Applying an oil is a Standard Action which provokes attacks of opportunity. If the target is unconscious it takes a Full Round

The Pathfinder Players Companion: Potions and Poisons has a Vaporous Potion item crafting feat. Lets you make potions that can be used as splash weapons.

So if you are making your own potions, there is that.
