W is for White Lightning

"I know they call it white lightning, but this good 'ol boy took it literally. The stuff packs a kick... and I like it."
-Cade Ashworthy

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.

    1. I'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.

      The 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.
