These special powers are usable by any character unless a special class restriction or other limiting factor is noted. No holy water is barred from anyone, but a priest would have severe reservations about using the waters of a radically opposed faith.
All Holy waters do 2d4 damage to Evil aligned creatures, and Unholy waters do 2d4 points of damage when used on a Good aligned creature.
Arvoreen - Martial Defense, War, Vigilance, Halfling Warriors, Duty
This potent Holy water will keep the drinker awake and alert for twelve hours after consumption. When the effect wears off, the user is no worse for the extra time without sleep, but will feel tired a few hours later, and will want to sleep normally. Usable by any Halfling.
Brandobaris - Stealth, Thievery, Adventuring, Halfling Rogues
This Holy water grants improved stealth. A rogue gains +10% to Hide in Shadows and Move Silently chances for the next 1d4 turns; if these abilities are not possessed, the rogue gains a 10% chance. Anyone else with a move silently ability (clrass related or otherwise) gains a +5% to that chance for the next 1d3 turns. Usable by any Halfling or Rogue class Human or DemiHuman.
Cyrrollalee - Friendship, Trust, The Home, The Hearth, Honsety, Hospitality, Crafts
Holy water of The Hearthkeeper is often used to insure good behavior when it is most essential (during trade talks, for example). The water insures that the imbiber will keep his/her cool despite pressure of virtually any kind. In game terms, the drinker gains a +4 to reaction rolls, and will always treat anyone he meets as a possible friend until that being proves otherwise. Usable by anyone.
Sheela Peryroyl - Nature, Agriculture, Weather, Song, Dance, Beauty, Romantic Love
Similar to a Philter of Love (see DMG), this Holy water has important differences: The user is fully aware of the effects, and it will have no effect at all if the recipient is unwilling. Lastly, the water may be consumed by anyone, but he or she will fall in love with the next opposite gender Halfling seen.
Tymora - Good Fortune, Skill, Victory, Adventurers, Adventuring
Anyone quaffing this Holy water will have a stroke of good luck. This means that the next dice roll the character makes will gain a bonus of 1 point or by 10%, whichever is aplicable. Usable by anyone.
Urogalan - Earth, Death, Protection of the Dead
If poured over a body, this Holy water will prevent it from rising as an undead creature of any sort, unless more powerful magics demand otherwise. In this case, "more powerful magics" are any spells of 7th level or higher. Usable by anyone.
Yondalla - Protection, Fertility, The Halfling Race, Children Security, Leadership, Diplomacy, Wisdom, The Cycle of Life, Creation, Family
Any Halfling consuming this Holy water gains a +2 to Wisdom and Intelligence checks for the next 24 hours. Any Good Aligned non-Halfling who drinks it gains +1 for 12 hours. Usable by Halflings and Good Humans and DemiHumans.
