The
Elemental Lords
Elemental priests tend to
be more unique in the design of their Holy Waters. They will often be seen using
an object that searves in it's stead and is of the Element they represent.
Please, no jokes about Kossuth's priests using Firewater (Sorry, couldn't
resist). The obvious exception to this is Istishia, the Water Elemental. Avid
followers of the Planescape setting will quickly note that there are only four
elements represented here; this is because the lords of quasi- and
para-elemental planes are not nearly so powerful, and are infrequently (if ever)
worshiped as deities.
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. Also, any elemental Holy "Water" will cause 2d4
damage to a creature of the opposed element.
- Akadi
- Priests and Priestesses of the Queen of Air use a Holy
water of sorts, but it is more acurately described as bottled mist. This mist
has an active hatred of all things undead, although it is in no way
intelligent. This mist will move unerringly toward the nearest undead taget
and strike for 2d4 damage with no attack roll needed. The mist stays active
for 4 rounds before dissipating, and has a MR of Fl 3 (A). Usable by
anyone.
- Grumbar
- Grumbar's priests are known to use a small fragment of
elemental earth in place of Holy Water, as mixing the two would create sacred
mud, and this would be no fun to carry arround. The specially blessed earth is
very powerful against enemies of Elemental Air. It encases such creatures
completely in elemental earth, and they die of exposure (to their opposed
element) in 1d12+4 rounds if not freed. This item has no effect on any other
target. Usable by anyone.
- Istishia
- This is the only true Holy water among the elemental
priesthoods. This water will douse any fire onto which it is poured, Elemental
fires included. For the Elemental fire to be extinguished however, it must be
smaller than or equal to the volume of the water used. This creates no steam,
as the two opposed elements anhilate each other. Usable by anyone.
- Kossuth
- Ever hear of bottled fire? This is it......
Bottles
of Kossuth's Priest's Holy "Water" is are actually Elemental Fire in a
specially protected bottle. When uncorked, the fire will burst forth in an
instant lighting anything it touches on fire. These flames are normal and may
be extinguished normally. Usable by anyone.
