Holy Water
- Cost: 25 gp
- Weight: 1 lbs.
Throwing a flask of holy water is a Ranged Touch Attack with a range increment of 10 feet, and is resolved as a Splash Weapon. A flask breaks if it successfully strikes the body of a corporeal creature. A direct hit by a thrown flask of Holy Water deals 2d4 points of positive energy damage to an evil-aligned Undead creature or an evil-aligned Outsider (assuming they were the target of the attack). In addition, each such creature within 5 feet of the point where the flask hits takes 2 points of positive energy damage from the splash.
If the attack misses its primary target, it scatters (per the splash weapon rules), and breaks when it hits the ground, instead. Any creatures in the space the flask breaks within, and creatures within all spaces within 5 feet of that target space, take 2 points of positive energy damage, but only if they are an evil-aligned Undead or an evil-aligned Outsider.
You can also pour holy water directly onto an adjacent target. This is the only way to directly target an incorporeal creature, for example. Doing so is a Melee Touch Attack that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Pouring a flask of holy water does not cause splash damage to adjacent squares, but it also cannot scatter on a miss. On a successful hit, the target takes 2d4 points of positive energy damage, assuming they are an evil-aligned Undead, or an evil-aligned Outsider. If the target is missed by a poured flask of holy water, that creature still takes 2 points of positive energy damage (as long as it is an evil-aligned Undead or an evil-aligned Outsider).
Temples to good-aligned deities sell Holy Water at cost (making no profit). See also Unholy Water.
