| Oct 24, 2019 at 0:27 | comment | added | cpcodes | @SevenSidedDie When I said draw, I was referring more to the poison vial I mentioned, or whatever other item was chosen to take the place of the flagon, or to the general act of readying an item for use. In the case of a flagon, it might be picking it up off of a table (or, if one is near a tap and has the flagon ready, to draw it that way). Ultimately, my point was that one needs have whatever item one chooses ready to use, which may consume the free interaction, requiring the character to waste their action for the round using the item anyway, making the practicality questionable. | |

| Oct 23, 2019 at 21:54 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | @Upper_Case I was wondering if that would get mentioned. Steins aren’t sealed either. They just have a splash guard. | |

| Oct 23, 2019 at 19:14 | comment | added | Exempt-Medic | @SevensidedDie Well I really doubt the object interaction is meant to apply entirely only to flagons and not also other similar objects, but point taken | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 19:00 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | @cpcodes You can’t really “draw” a flagon of ale. A flagon is just a large mug. It’s not a closed container like a flask. A full mug of ale can’t be carried in any way except carefully in a hand. | |

| Oct 23, 2019 at 16:19 | comment | added | cpcodes | Worth pointing out that even if this does work, you have to have the flagon of ale (or poison vial) ready before drinking, otherwise you spend your free interaction to draw it, then have to burn an action drinking it. | |

| Oct 23, 2019 at 16:12 | comment | added | Exempt-Medic | @SeriousBri I hadn't thought of just drinking the entire poison, that's a good point | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 16:11 | comment | added | Exempt-Medic | @MarkWells Things like what SeriousBri mentions are what give me pause. Potions of Healing require an action, do poisons? | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 16:07 | comment | added | SeriousBri | Am I missing why you aren't swallowing the poison directly? Or is that meant to require an action? Which actually makes me wonder why you can freely down ale but not a healing potion (I know, balance, but still). | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 16:02 | comment | added | Mark Wells | Given that drinking a flagon of ale is already on the list of example object interactions, is there a reason you think you can't? What's the alternative hypothesis here? | |
