How long does it take to apply?
Can you apply it while currently being grappled?
Salve of Slipperiness
Aura moderate conjuration; CL 6th
Slot —; Price 1,000 gp; Weight —
Description
This substance provides a +20 competence bonus on all Escape Artist checks and combat maneuver checks made to escape from a grapple. The salve also grants a +10 competence bonus to the wearer's Combat Maneuver Defense for the purpose of avoiding grapple attempts. In addition, such obstructions as webs (magical or otherwise) do not affect an anointed individual. Magic ropes and the like do not avail against this salve. If it is smeared on a floor or on steps, the area should be treated as a long-lasting grease spell. The salve requires 8 hours to wear off normally, or it can be wiped off with an alcohol solution (even wine).
Salve of slipperiness is needed to coat the inside of a container meant to hold sovereign glue.
Construction Requirements
Craft Wondrous Item, grease; Cost 500 gp
Any Help?
GM decision?
Full round action is fair. One minute is fair.
Making the CMD roll while grappled to pop the vial and have it spill all over grappler and grapplee while wrestlin' is hilarious.
Sooo... Ask your GM. Or if you are GM, make something up.
We use the stuff fairly often.
Standard Action to apply to body, same as applying an Oil.
Full Round Action to apply to the floor or something.
Both uses provoke an AOO.
Trying to apply WHILE grappled would be interesting.
We also consider it to be grease-like since its no longer called Oil of Slipperiness.
