I'd be perfectly comfortable treating that the same way. If the character is helpless and an opponent has taken a full-round action to administer an inflict potion, sure, let it ignore SR. Or would the player prefer the opponent CDG instead? In nearly all cases the latter would be much more deadly.Infiniti2000 said:I'd probably apply SR. If not, ask your player if they want to apply SR when the opponent shoves a potion of inflict serious wounds down their throat.

True dat. I'd give the bad guy style points for the potion, though. I mean, really, who creates a potion of inflict serious wounds?

I have all my liches create such potions, but label them "cure serious wounds" or "fly".

I do this as well.
Course, 100% of the potions in my game are labeled and 95% of the potions in my game are labeled correctly (typically with magical writing so you need read magic or decipher script to read it, but sometimes with plain text).
Nobody in his right mind would create a bunch of potions which they do not label (and label correctly). Only an insane creature, a stupid creature, or one setting a trap (like a lich) would do such a thing. Nothing worse than the NPC BBEG thinking an unlabeled potion is something other than what it is.
