Omen wine comes in single-dose bladders made from some type of animal skin. The bladder is tied shut with a strong but slender cord. A small runestone dangles from the cord; the rune itself is from an unknown language and glows in the presence of divine magic. Each dose costs 375 gp.
The wine itself is a dark green liquid with semi-transparent, silvery swirls. Omen wine smells delicious, like strawberries. However, it tastes of something not unlike spoiled chicken.
Upon drinking a dose of omen wine, the individual must make a DC 25 Fortitude Save. Depending upon the individual’s Save result, omen wine causes different effects.
The individual falls into a coma for 1 hour. This is not a sleep effect, and thus elves are not immune to it. | No secondary. During this time, it cannot be awakened by any means short of casting greater restoration on it. | |
The individual takes temporary nonlethal damage equaling its current hit points and is staggered for 1d4 rounds, after which the nonlethal damage is reversed. | The creature remains shaken for one hour. Heal will negate all effects. | |
The individual becomes panicked for 1d4 rounds. | The creature remains shaken for one hour. Nothing short of restoration will negate either effect. | |
Sudden pain sweeps over the individual’s body and it becomes sickened for one hour. | No secondary. The effects can be negated only by a remove curse spell. |
Once the initial effects of the omen wine wear off, the individual receives a vision. The result of this vision is comparable to casting divination, with the chance for a correct divination based on the individual’s character level, rather than the caster level.
