Description
Originally designed by goblins, and later perfected by gnomes, this lumpy, white ball of tree sap and beeswax is the size of a large marble and speckled with every color of the rainbow. When placed in the mouth as a move action and chewed as a free action this gum bombards the taste buds of the chewer with a torrent of flavors, changing roughly every six seconds. The chewer can then, once a round as a standard action, spit a glob of elemental energy at any creature or object within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack, dealing 2d6 points of damage. The type of damage is determined by the current flavor of the gum, which is rolled randomly at the start of the chewer’s turn.

A savvy user of Motley Gum can usually gauge what type of elemental damage a flavor is going to cause, based on past experience. After one minute the gum finally settles on one flavor, which remains for one hour and no longer allows the chewer to spit elemental globs. There is a substantial variety of different flavors Motley Gum can come in, some of which are only fit for goblin consumption, but this variety is one of the most common.
