White Lightning
Uncommon, potion
Created by Mad Mose of the Shudder Mountains, White Lightning is distilled corn alcohol combined with elemental essence. The strong (DC 20 constitution saving throw to avoid intoxication) whiskey has both offensive and defensive capabilities. Anyone drinking white lightning will feels a tingling sensation running through their bodies and has their hair stand on end. In addition, they gain resistance to lightning damage for one hour. In a pinch it can also be used as weapon. As an action, you can throw the vial up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. Make a ranged attack against a target creature, treating the white lightning as an improvised weapon. White lightning does 2d6 lightning damage.
I can picture cade wandering around the shudder mountains sampling the various kinds of shine with the shudfolk.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I want to use the Shudder Mountains again. It's a great setting.
DeleteHaha...who knew DCC had hillbillies? (And I use that term with great respect, BTW.) I love this.
ReplyDeleteI'm not insulted by it. I am definitely not a redneck, but my family is originally from coal mining country in Kentucky and West Virginia, so I have a healthy respect for hillbillies.
DeleteThe Chained Coffin is my favorite DCC adventure. The boxed set is fantastic. Here are the contents (http://punverse.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-chained-coffin-has-arrived.html), if you're curious.
