Unholy Water?

[blackbloodtroll]

Does it exist? How does it work?
Are there other evil versions of the various "good" items?

[blackbloodtroll]

Crap, never mind, found it.

[blackbloodtroll]

Does it heal undead though?

No. Its untyped damage, not negative energy damage. It only harms good outsiders, it has no effect on undead (neither damaging nor healing them).

[blackbloodtroll]

No effect on the living? Not even paladins?

[stringburka]

Nope.

[blackbloodtroll]

Why is does unholy water do less than holy water?

[Coriat]

Because there is no good counterpart to undead.

You could make one up for your game.

Scenario: A ancient magical font of darkness has been found, and the priests of [evil deity] have begun the business of exporting unholy water to the far reaches of the realm.

This might make for a great adventure, or adventure path of your own, and your permutation/instance of Golarion or whichever world can now have "unholy water". Perhaps name it, "Elixir Of [evil priest, saint, or detity].

Just a thought.

The living?
I miss the Eberron Deathless.

unholy water has a damage type - look at the spell that creates it.

evil outsiders.

Say I sprinkle some unholy water on Casper the Friendly ghost (LG). That isn't going to hurt him, because ghosts are made of negative energy, even if they are good, right?

[VRMH]

Right.
