Unholy Water
- Cost: 30 gp
- Weight: 1 lbs.
Throwing a flask of unholy 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 unholy water deals 2d4 points of negative energy damage to a good-aligned Undead creature or a good-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 negative 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 negative energy damage, but only if they are a good-aligned Undead or a good-aligned Outsider.
You can also pour unholy 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 unholy 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 negative energy damage, assuming they are a good-aligned Undead, or a good-aligned Outsider. If the target is missed by a poured flask of unholy water, that creature still takes 2 points of negative energy damage (as long as it is a good-aligned Undead or a good-aligned Outsider).
Temples to evil-aligned deities sell unholy water at a slight profit. They would charge more, but there just aren't that many good-aligned undead creatures. Unholy water is made using Bless Water (Spell). See also Holy Water.- Crafting: Profession (Glass Smith) (DC 17); requires 1 rank in Knowledge (Religion) and access to Bless Water (Spell)
