You don’t need to make a grapple check to activate the item.How you then rule in this case the retrieving of the item is, I think, reasonable to follow MarkB's suggestion for getting a light weapon. The issue here is that the ruling needs to be fairly general and applicable to other cases e.g. drawing a wand, and keeping the case to general examples makes the process more streamlined and easy to apply. Drawing a light weapon is a good precident for the process.Then you have a concentration check to drink the potion DC 20 for being grappled. This is itself is not easy. Generally only spell casters will have the skill ranks and/or feat to assist with this so you have built into the system a pretty tough restriction to start with and I don't think you need to get too complicated with the adjudication process.</blockquote>
