Insomnia Powder

Alchemical Weapon

Price: 60 gp
Weight: 2 lbs.
Construction: Craft (alchemy) DC 25

Description

This fine white powder is a powerful stimulant that affects the nervous systems of any creatures that inhale or ingest it, preventing them from sleeping for 24 hours. A packet of insomnia powder can be thrown as a Splash Weapon with a range increment of 10 feet. A creature struck by a direct hit must succeed at a DC 12 Fortitude Save to avoid the effect, while those in the splash radius must succeed at DC 8 Fortitude saves. This is a poison effect.

Although it causes no severe damage, insomnia can cause a creature to be more Prone to fatigue or exhaustion. Though it prevents sleep (and thus prevents wizards and some other spellcasters from regaining their spells), insomnia powder does not prevent a creature from meditating or praying. The effects of insomnia powder can be countered by Sleep, Neutralize Poison, or similar effects.
