Oil of Slipperiness

This oil coats the creature, surface, or object making it extremely slippery.

• A typical vial of oil can cover one man-sized creature along with gear worn and carried (or 2 or more smaller creatures, per the GM).

• Otherwise, the oil can be used to cover one object of roughly similar size or a surface of up to 5-ft. square.

• Objects must be fully covered or the oil will be ineffective. Objects possessed by an opponent cannot be affected.

• If used on an object or poured on a surface, creatures attempting to use/handle or move across it must make a DC 20 Dexterity check or fall prone/drop the object.

• If used on a creature, the creature will become very slippery, immune to entanglement, grabbing, grappling, or similar effects.

• Unless the creature was prone, the bottom of the limbs will be unaffected (so the creature can still move without falling).

• Likewise, the hilt (or like surface) of anything held in the hands as well as the palm(s) will be protected.

• That noted, exposed items not held, such as a bow or crossbow or hilts of melee weapons, will all be covered and cannot be used unless making a check as per above. Items in pouches or packs can be accessed and utilized normally.

• The oil can be removed using at least 8 ounces of alcohol or similar amount of liquid containing alcohol. Full removal takes 3 rounds.

• Otherwise, a complex activity can be used to wipe affected objects, like hilts or similar surfaces.
