Description

The Sunsmell Root, a celestial herb of rare occurrence, flourishes in locations steeped in divine energy, such as sanctified graveyards or ancient holy grounds. This diminutive plant, standing no more than 2 inches tall, is recognized by its moonlit silver leaves and clusters of growth. Its most intriguing characteristic is the potent aroma it emits, perceptible only to creatures of the night, particularly vampires.

Properties

The Sunsmell Root holds a unique property that makes it an effective ward against vampires. When crushed underfoot, it emits a radiant light akin to sunlight that affects only vampires. A vampire caught in this light must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw DC 14 or suffer 2d6 radiant damage.

Cultivation

Propagation of the Sunsmell Root is achieved through cuttings, which require the nurturing touch of holy water to grow. The plant thrives in cool, shaded areas and requires moderate watering. Remarkably resistant to pests and diseases, it is a hardy addition to any herb garden.

Applications

The roots of this plant serve as a formidable barrier against vampires. By grinding the leaves into a powder and scattering it around an area, one can create a temporary sanctuary that vampires dare not tread. Furthermore, brewing the leaves into a tea and consuming it renders the drinker’s blood temporarily repugnant to vampires. A vampire who partakes of this blood suffers 2d6 radiant damage.
