... because? Anyway, here's a video of Meryl Streep drinking a potion in 3 seconds.

We're talking about a pouch with magical potions in it, not a parent of three kids' diaper bag.

How is the risk substantially different than drawing a weapon, or nocking an arrow?

Clearly, you've never seen me fight. :) I'm a little past my prime, but I assure you I can manipulate an object while doing other stuff. In fact, fencing would be more difficult, because you are fully engaged with one opponent, but in a fray, there is distance, and opportunities.

I can definitely get a bottle out of my belt and drink it while actively fighting.

Even if it took, say, seven seconds, I just don't think it's something that would consume your entire concentration.

There is a forum dedicated to out of print settings, especially old TSR ones, which has a very strong community and library around Mystara in general and Red Steel specifically.

I looked up some examples on Amazon, and a 1 oz perfume bottle weighs about 5 ounces. So it is actually accurate for ounce of liquid in a bottle to weigh half a pound.

There are a lot of concepts that just make sense as some combination of Fighter and Rogue, though the game is a little punishing if you do it early. The dirty mercenary, the pirate, the cunning swashbuckler, etc. You can do some of these with subclasses but they aren't always focused on what I...

That doesn't refute what I said. The word "just" is doing a lot of work in your explanation. I don't have to ignore that, I challenge you to explain the relevance of what you are claiming, in addition to its factuality. I see noting in the book that demonstrates they have gone out of their...

That's an assertion unfounded by any text of which I am aware. True Strike says Guided by a flash of magical insight, you make one attack with the weapon used in the spell's casting. That fits the definition of an attack roll that occurs as part of a spell. It fits Innate Sorcery entirely...
