The Silk Kiss Grenade is a unique and alluring device that combines the intoxicating properties of alcohol with a carefully crafted venom, transforming them into a mesmerizing pink fog. When released, this fog creates an enchanting ambiance within its vicinity, luring creatures into a state of charm and friendship.
As an action, a character can throw the Silk Kiss Grenade at a target point within a range of up to 60 feet. Upon impact, the grenade bursts, releasing a gentle mist that forms a light fog in a 10-foot radius sphere. The fog gracefully spreads around corners, remaining in the area for a duration of 1 minute or until dissipated by strong winds. When a creature enters the area of the fog for the first time on a turn or starts its turn within the fog, it must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. If the saving throw is failed, the creature becomes charmed by you for the next hour or until you or your companions harm or act hostile towards them. While charmed, the affected creature perceives you as a friendly acquaintance and willingly cooperates with you, regarding you in a positive light.
The charm effect of the Silk Kiss Grenade enhances social interactions and fosters a sense of trust and amicability. Charmed creatures are more inclined to listen to your words, follow your suggestions, and consider your requests with a predisposition for agreement. However, they still retain their own personalities and individual agency, and the charm does not compel them to perform actions that are obviously harmful or against their own best interests. Once the charm effect ends, the creature becomes aware that it was charmed by you, realizing the temporary nature of their feelings and attitudes. This awareness may influence their subsequent reactions and interactions with you, depending on their disposition and the circumstances surrounding the charm.
The Silk Kiss Grenade offers a unique approach to encounters, providing an opportunity for diplomatic resolution or manipulation of social situations. It can be particularly useful for characters skilled in persuasion, negotiation, or espionage, as well as for those seeking to avoid or minimize conflict. However, it should be used with caution, as relying too heavily on charm can lead to complications and potential betrayals if the true intentions behind the charm are revealed.
Silk Kiss Grenades are often crafted by skilled alchemists or enchanters who possess knowledge of venomous substances and the art of charm. These specialized grenades can be acquired through interaction with herbalists, magic shops, or individuals with expertise in crafting and selling exotic and enchanted items.
