Drinking potion = AoO???

No, you just don't drink the potion, silly.

So you lose the potion, then? Or can you try again next round?

It merely states "If the character fails this check, she cannot drink the potion." A literall intepretation would mean that you simply fail to drink it. I believe this is the intent as well.

Thanks, KRey. BTW, the iconic pimp is real funny.

You can thank Xarlen for that one.

Heh... maybe this shows that you have a drinking problem, like the pilot in Airplane!... and the potion spills down the front of you.

 

[kreynolds]

you have a drinking problem

Well...yeah. But that's an entirely different matter.

and the potion spills down the front of you.

Nope. That's not in the rules either.

Say, if you splort a potion out your nose, do you need to roll to see if it hit something else, and effected that?

Does it really make any sense for one potion to be harder to drink than another? It would make more sense for it just to be DC 10 + the damage dealt.

There is no spell level with drinking a potion. Now if you fail by more than 5, maybe you should lose the potion.

No, it doesn't make any sense. But there certainly is a spell level for (at least most) potions - the level of the spell contained in the potion.

Spell level is for the spell being cast. The spell has already been cast, the question is, is this an oversite or is the intention to have more powerful potions harder to drink?
