Hello, I have questions about Personal ocean.
You surround yourself in a bubble-like shroud of seawater that fills your space completely and moves with you. You can breathe, speak, and perceive normally while within your personal ocean, and you gain a swim Speed equal to your land Speed if you don't have one.
So no off-guard because you have a swim speed.
No suffocate because you can breathe and speak.None –2 circumstance penalty to melee slashing or bludgeoning attacks that pass through water if you have Underwater marauder feat or aquatic trait.
1/Is it not possible to drink a potion ?
2/Is it underwater for range attacks with bludgeoning or slashing damage ?
3/You can't be knocked prone when Swimming ?
4/Is it possible to have an opponent to occupy the same space that the character with a personal ocean ?
Thanks for your future answer.

1) As far as I know, it is not specified if drinking potions is allowed underwater or not. Personally I allow it. It should follow the same ruling for being in the spell effect as for actually being underwater from terrain.
2) Yes, Aquatic Combat rules apply to you - including attacks that you initiate.
3) Correct, you can't be knocked prone while swimming. However, I am not seeing anything in the spell that says that you are actually swimming for the entire duration of the spell. It is somewhat implied because of referencing the Aquatic Combat rules and since it gives you a swim speed equal to your land speed. But it can also be read that you are still walking around on the ground while surrounded by the water bubble.
4) I see nothing preventing another creature sharing the space. Which does seem a bit odd. But I see nothing about even giving a bonus to Tumble Through actions from an opponent. It would make sense to at least rule that the space has to be moved through with a Swim action, especially if it is ruled that the caster is no longer walking on the ground but is also swimming.
