Dhamphir Character and Holy Water / Curse Water


Advice


I have a player who is running a dhamphir inquisitor. He's trying to think outside of the box in regards to healing. He thought since holy water hurts undead, cursed water should heal.

Now I am pretty sure the rules don't allow for this and I am comfortable with the idea of how positive/negative energy works. If holy water could also heal living, then I would be cool with allowing cursed water to heal undead.

So I know the rules say no. But I am asking for advice. It is a modern setting. Would you allow holy/cursed water to work as a minor healing potion in your game? And am I unreasonable in saying no? I allowed him to take the sin eater class feature in lieu of his domain. He has access to inflict wounds on his spell list, and fast healing works regardless of energy affinity.

On the other hand, we don't have a "dedicated healer" and I kind of like to reward out of the box thinking.

Thoughts?


Holy Water does not heal the living. His argument is invalid.

--> No healing the Undead this way.

Hint: Use regular Potions of Inflict Light Wounds. They are what he seeks.


Thanks for the input, Guru. I told him that holy water doesn't heal living and thus cursed water doesn't heal undead. I am pretty comfortable with that.

Just wondering if anyone has ever/would ever be creative in that regard.

Again, thank you!
