Vial of Icy Sheets

The vial of icy sheets contains a clear fluid that creates a region of slippery ice when its contents are poured upon the ground (a standard action). The fluid spreads from the point of origin to a radius of 10 feet, coating the ground with a thin sheet of slippery ice. All creatures caught in this area must make a DC 11 Reflex save or slip and fall. Those that successfully save can move at half speed across the surface. Those that remain in the area must make a new saving throw each round to avoid falling and to be able to move.

Alternatively, the vial’s contents can be poured upon an object. This encases the object with slippery ice, and if the object is carried or wielded, its wielder must make a DC 11 Reflex save to avoid dropping the item. A new saving throw must be made each round the item is grasped.

Icy sheets last for 5 rounds before they evaporate away into nothingness. A vial of icy sheets automatically replenishes its supply of liquid once every day.

If the contents of a vial of icy sheets are swallowed, the ice coats the mouth, throat, and stomach of the poor fool who drank it. This causes 6d6 points of cold damage (Fortitude DC 20 half).
