Oil of acid resistance was a magical unguent that rendered any cloth, skin, or other material it was applied to impervious to harm from acid.[1][2]
Description[]
Each flask of oil of acid resistance was sufficient to cover the entire body and equipment of a human-sized creature. Alternatively, a flask contained enough doses to cover twenty-four human-sized creatures for an active period of one hour.[1][2]
Powers[]
One application of this oil lasted for a period of twenty-four hours. However, any exposure to acid would diminish the period of potency by a number of minutes equivalent to how much damage that exposure would have caused to exposed flesh. For example, if someone was exposed to the acid breath of a black dragon of great wyrm age the potency period would diminish by 1 hour and 4 minutes.[1][2]
Components[]
Some wizards were known to use the dried webbing of greelox as an ingredient in making these oils.[4] Other potential ingredients for making these oils included the secretions of stone puddings,[5] the mucous coating of gray oozes,[6] and the inner layer of flumph tentacles. It took twenty flumph tentacles to yield a single serving of oil of acid resistance.[7]
Availability[]
Beyond Faerûn,[5][8] oils of acid resistance could be found in the land of Zakhara.[9]
