[QUOTE="Lamoni, post: 2755963, member: 12680"] I see where you are coming from. However, I see that the guy who took a 5' step and drank the potion already gave up the option to retaliate with an attack PLUS they didn't get out of the way to prevent a full attack. I just think that forcing an AoO on a 5 ft step would make it that much worse. The guy could withdraw instead... but then he'd have to wait until next round to drink his potion. While he is waiting for the next round the fighter could charge him and attack. This would prevent the full-attack, but he'd still be no closer to drinking his potion. Maybe you could think of it more like swordfights that you see on TV or in the movies and one guy loses his sword. He jumps back 5 ft, grabs a new weapon and then the guy closes on him. Well the potion could be like that. He jumps back, quaffs his potion and then the guy closes on him. Yes it is hard to do or imagine, but I just think the alternative of not allowing the 5 ft step puts everyone in a much worse situation. [/QUOTE]
