Phial of Exanimis (5e Equipment)

Potion, uncommon A bottle of a swirling dark green material that seems to simultaneously be liquid and gas. When consumed, it reduces the drinker's hit point maximum by 2d6 and grants them immunity to necrotic damage. Both effects last for for 10 minutes. If the drinker's hit point maximum is reduced to 0, they are automatically stabilized but still cannot regain hit points or be woken up for the duration. The potion can also be thrown up to 30 feet; on impact, it explodes into a cloud of gas with a radius of 10 feet. When the bottle explodes, up to four corpses or piles of bones of Small or Medium humanoids within the area are raised as zombies or skeletons, respectively. Any undead created by this potion are hostile to all living creatures, and are destroyed when the gas disperses or if they leave its area. Whenever a living creature starts its turn in the gas or moves into it for the first time in a turn, it must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned until the end of its next turn. The cloud of gas disperses after 1 minute. A moderate wind (11 to 20 miles per hour) can also disperse the gas after 1 round.
