This is attempting to pour liquid down the throat of another person who is trying to dodge incoming attacks while in combat. I'd say the Bard has 2 choices; 1. At the end of his turn, elect to be flatfooted until his next action to be able receive the potion. Giver take a a full round action to do so. Both draw AoO.2. Ready an action to drink the potion when it is presented. Giver takes a standard action to do so. Both draw AoO.Aid AnotherIn melee combat, you can help a friend attack or defend by distracting or interfering with an opponent. If you’re in position to make a melee attack on an opponent that is engaging a friend in melee combat, you can attempt to aid your friend as a standard action. You make an attack roll against AC 10. If you succeed, your friend gains either a +2 bonus on his next attack roll against that opponent or a +2 bonus to AC against that opponent’s next attack (your choice), as long as that attack comes before the beginning of your next turn. Multiple characters can aid the same friend, and similar bonuses stack. You can also use this standard action to help a friend in other ways, such as when he is affected by a spell, or to assist another character’s skill check.
