Re: [Grappling] Forcing someone to drink something
In fact, it may be best to go the A-Team route and spike his milk.

Re: [Grappling] Forcing someone to drink something
IDHMBWM but, I know there are rules for forcing somone to drop somthing after they are grappled. You could use the same rules and apply it to the face, to force the target to oppen his mouth. Pour in the potion & then grapple face to cut-off the air. Then he'll eventually have to swallow.

Re: [Grappling] Forcing someone to drink something
A different approach...
While it is interesting to work out specific techniques, etc., we may be over-thinking this. I'd say it is just two rolls: 1) Grapple his head with one hand. 2) If you get control of his head, a quick contest of ST determines if you can force the drink into his mouth, etc. (This is based on many years of making cats take medicine, etc.) |

Re: [Grappling] Forcing someone to drink something
This is the part that might be cinematic. Against a human who knows they don't want to swallow something, I'm not sure if preventing them from breathing will make them swallow it. (I'm not experienced in these matters, however, and wikipedia isn't helping greatly.)

But, I've only ever seen the maneuver on television*. I don't know if it would actually work, and no one in the studio is agreeing to reality test it today. Still, I'd let PCs give it a shot, even (or perhaps especially) in a brutually realistic game. * Medical professionals who have to give drugs to unwilling patients seem to prefer having a handful of orderlies hold the patient down and then administer a hypodermic shot. That is, if they can't use bed restraints or wait until the patient falls unconscious.
