[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5847521, member: 18701"] Ah, I never thought about that before. So how much is a "shot" around your area if you don't go by ounces? I'm just curious now, but what was the situation with the cat drinking a potion in your game? And what was the potion? :lol: Or was this just hypothetical table talk? If you want the game to flow smoothly and be less rules lawyery, I'd just go with "the cat can drink it in a round". An ounce really doesn't seem like that much for a cat to drink up if it liked it. Given the fact that we can pull out the potion, open it, and drink it as a full round action (2 moves), a cat most likely isn't going to make a move action to pull it out and open it. So it only needs 1 move action to drink. Even if it opened it, I'd say it would take a cat a lot more than a round if it was able to open it. So if the potion was already available for a cat to drink, a full round to drink it doesn't seem that unrealistic. If you really wanted to rules lawyer it, I wouldn't think any more than 2 rounds is needed. But really, is the game going to suddenly go haywire if a cat drank it in 1 move action as opposed to multiple rounds? It's a cat. :p Follow the KISS rule. [/QUOTE]
