The
Pantheon of the Dark Elves
As their origin is
divine, Drow Holy/Unholy waters are immune to the normal rules regarding Drow
items on the surface world. The waters of Deities other than Elistraee will
still lose their powers, but only after a full year away from the
Underdark.
These special powers are
usable by any character unless a special class restriction or other limiting
factor is noted. All Holy waters do 2d4 damage to Undead, and Unholy waters heal
2d4 points of damage when used on an Undead creature. No holy water is barred
from anyone, but a priest would have severe reservations about using the waters
of a radically opposed faith.
- Elistraee
- Holy water created in the name of the only
good-aligned Drow Goddess is harmful to those the evil Drow hold most dear:
The Matron Mothers. Any Matron touched by even a drop of this water must save
versus poison at -4 or be struck with a diesease identical in effects to Mummy
Rot. Spiders and High Priestesses of Lolth that are not Matrons suffer 2d4
damage, just like undead, when struck by a vial of this Holy water. Usable by
Anyone.
- Ghaunadaur
- This unholy water will heal Oozes, Slimes, Jellies,
and Molds, just like undead. Usable by any Drow Elf.
- Kiaransalee
- Unholy water of the Lady of the Dead not only heals
the undead of 3d4 damage (instead of the normal 2d4), but also grants them an
extra Hit Dice (For purposes of determining turning only). The undead gain no
extra hit points or abilities, and can be commanded normally. Usable by
anyone.
- Lolth
- This unholy water is a deadly poison to any drow who
is not in Lolth's favor at the current moment. Any such victim suffers 1d4
damage on impact, and 2d4 more the next round. The Unholy water inflicts 1d6
damage on any surface elf. Usable by any Drow in Lolth's Favor.
- Selvetarm
- Grants a +1/+10% bonus to any one die roll or check
within 24 hours of consuming this unholy water. Usable by any Drow Warrior or
Priest.
- Vhaeraun
- Negates penalties suffered by Drow in sunlight for 24
hours. To use this, the eyes must be washed with it. This has the unfortunate
side effect of teducing infravison to a 60-foot range. Usable by any Drow
Male.
