[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8762646, member: 27385"] Could this be part of the rogue uncanny action feature that lets them interact with an object. You give a small boost for a rogue, but might make more sense. You could grant disadvantage on any attack rolls for the turn if used as a bonus action. This may simulate as being distracted while getting out the potion and drinking while in combat. This still allows for an attack but as cost. This may penalize fighters over second rank casters and such who can cast a save spell vs an attack spell. But then again, they are not in as much danger. My group adopted the rule as you can bonus action on yourself and roll the dice or full action for max HP. You still need to use your action to give to another, but they get max. We still have not adopted any other potions like invisibility where you bonus action for 1d6 rounds instead of 1 hour. I'm not sure if this should be an official rule. [/QUOTE]
