Today's podcast is talking about the holy water creation rules found in the DMG on page 115!
Only clerics, except druids, can create holy or unholy water using a special basin and font made of precious metals. The process requires casting specific spells and can only be done once a week. The amount of water produced depends on the metal used. If defiled, the font must be remade at a significant cost. Consuming holy water can delay lycanthropy or becoming undead.
Highlights -💧
