These lemons appear ordinary at first glance, but when squeezed or crushed, they release a potent, bubbling acid that can be harnessed for various effects.
Properties:
-
Acidic Squeeze: As an action, you can squeeze the acidic lemons, causing them to release a burst of corrosive liquid. Make a ranged spell attack against a target within 30 feet. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 acid damage. The lemons have 6 uses, and they regain expended uses daily at dawn.
-
Alchemical Catalyst: When added to a potion or alchemical mixture during its creation, the acidic lemons enhance its effects. The concoction gains a corrosive element, dealing an additional 1d4 acid damage on a failed saving throw or attack roll. However, this also increases the volatility of the mixture, and the creator must succeed on a DC 12 Intelligence (Alchemy) check to control the reaction. On a failed check, the mixture may explode or have unintended side effects.
-
Cook's Delight: When used in cooking, the acidic lemons add a tangy zest to dishes. Any meal prepared with the lemons provides advantage on Constitution saving throws against poison for the next 24 hours.
Appearance: The lemons are a vibrant yellow, with a slightly translucent skin that hints at the acidic potency within. They give off a faint citrus scent, tinged with a more pungent undertone.
History: These lemons were first cultivated by a rogue alchemist seeking to create a more versatile form of acid for various applications. However, the alchemist disappeared, leaving behind a grove of these unique citrus fruits. Adventurers and potion-makers later discovered their properties, turning them into a sought-after commodity.
