I take your word that you weren't directing it at me, but you should be more careful when you make comments like that. Your post didn't specifically address anyone by name, but you quoted me in it, so it appeared that you were addressing me.Imagine what would happen if you posted an insult at the bottom of a thread without specifically directing the comment at anyone. More often than not, the poster immediately prior to you will think you were addressing him/her.I learned these kinds of things the hard way. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />For a human to attack someone with a longsword in melee, they need to be standing within 5 feet. To hand an object to your pal, you need to be standing within 5 feet. But, to pour a potion down someone's throat, well, I don't think standing within 5 feet is gonna cut it, especially if that someone is knocked out. When you hand someone something, usually, they're meeting you half way. If they aren't, you have to get closer, like when you discreetly give something to someone from behind their back.I just don't see how one could pour a potion down another's throat and the guy receiving the potion doesn't drop his guard.I already did. If retrieving an item is a move-equivalent action, why wouldn't giving an item to someone be a move-equivalent action? Besides, somebody is doing the retrieving in that exchange, I promise. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Gah! The last time I heard that, my players kicked the crap out of one of my favorite NPCs. *sniff* I still miss that evil jerk. *sniff*</blockquote>
