[IC] Black Hills Caves: Exploration Day 2

[That should be a move action to get to her and then a move action to retrieve an item.  I'm going to assume Eva taking the potion from Gurkagh's hand is a free action. So she can drink it with a standard action to avoid passing out.  She will provoke an AoO unless someone provokes one first or she decides to take a 5' step then drink it next round.]

[OOC - her next plan was to step back 5ft and retrieve a potion (CMW) or use total defense as standard action after 5ft movement. But if taking a potion is a free action then Cyn's plan is better and faster  ]

Well finding and removing an item from a pack is a move action so it makes sense (at least to me) that it should be easier to hand an item already in hand to someone prepared to receive it.  I'm not sure if it's RAI but dropping an item is a free action so dropping an item 'into the hand' of someone else (again only if they're prepared to take it) makes sense it's a free action too.  I might add more conditions later but for now that's my reasoning.
