Ghast Salve: Only a few powerful necromancers know the secret of creating this sickly green ointment. The cream's powers activate one round after being spread upon the recipient's body. The recipient gains immunity to paralysis and to the stench of ghasts. The user of ghast salve also exudes the same stench of ghasts and can paralyze others if the victims fail a saving throw vs. paralysis. Finally, regular ghouls and ghasts will regard the recipient in an extremely favorable light (as if he or she had an 18 Charisma). The subject gains a +7 reaction adjustment with these forms of undead.

Ghast salve reacts strongly with holy water. If struck by such liquid, the recipient suffers damage as though he or she were truly undead (ld6+l points of damage for a direct hit, 2 hp for a splash). Typically, ld3 jars, each containing up to three applications, will be found. A single application lasts for an hour. (500XP/jar.)
