wax

molten wax is a semi hot, low worth, and sticky liquid. Items containing or covered in wax are waxen or waxy. Physical contact, be it pouring it on something, drinking it, or stepping on it will increase the subject's temperature by 100. This also goes for any containers that the molten wax is in, however it will not increase the containers temperature greater than 100. It weighs 0.5 lbs per dram.

If a creature in the same phase as the wax steps on it, they must make a strength and agility save of difficulty 10 + drams/100 * 5. If they fail this save, they will become stuck for a maximum of 12 turns with a strength save of 10 * drams/100 every turn to break free.

It is one of the few liquids that can never be required in a cure for any illness or fungal infection.

Sources of Wax

  • waxflab generates molten wax every few turns
  • Furniture which has candles in it (like candelabras) will generate wax every 50-100 turns in the surrounding squares.
  • The alchemist is guaranteed to have one dram of molten wax for sale.
