AoO and potions questions

[Willtell]

What is the concentrations DC to suceed in using a potion if you are hit by the AoO caused by trying to drink a potion. the same as the spell the potion is based on?.

Is it possible to make a concentration roll to use a potion withou provoking an AoO?

SRD: Drinking a potion or using an oil on an item of gear is a standard action. The potion or oil takes effect immediately. Using a potion or oil provokes attacks of opportunity. A successful attack (including grappling attacks) against the character forces a Concentration check (as for casting a spell). If the character fails this check, she cannot drink the potion. An enemy may direct an attack of opportunity against the potion or oil container rather than against the character. A successful attack of this sort can destroy the container.

Well... if you drink a potion with a 3rd level spell (preferably fireball on yourself), you'll have to make a check against a DC 10+3 (spell level)+ damage. Looks weird and doesn't really make sense, but that looks like it.

Nothing like casting defensively. So no, you can't drink a potion without getting bashed.
