Embalming Fluid

Alchemical Tool

Price: 50 gp
Weight: 1 lb.
Construction: Craft (alchemy) DC 25

Description

This fluid is used to preserve corpses, whether for later dissection, taxidermy, necromancy, or magic such as raise Dead. Embalming fluid is technically a poison, and using it makes a corpse unpalatable to most animals and vermin, though corpse-eating undead don’t mind the taste. Treating a corpse with embalming fluid takes 1 hour and a successful DC 25 Heal check. The embalmed corpse decays at half the normal rate (each day Dead counts as half a day for the purpose of raise Dead).
