Description and use¶
Wondrous Item, Uncommon This ceramic jug appears to be able to hold a gallon of liquid and weighs 12 pounds whether full or empty.
The jug sloshes when it is shaken, even if the jug is empty.
You can take a Magic action and name one liquid from the Alchemy Jug Liquids table to cause the jug to produce the chosen liquid.
Afterward, you can uncork the jug as a Utilize action and pour that liquid out, up to 2 gallons per minute.
The maximum amount of liquid the jug can produce depends on the liquid you named.
Once the jug starts producing a liquid, it can’t produce a different one, or more of one that has reached its maximum, until the next dawn.
