Suspended Cauldron

Weapon

Common

Hit Points: 20   Damage Immunities: Poison, Psychic   Boiling Oil: The cauldron pours boiling oil onto a 10-foot-square area directly below it. Any creature in that area must succeed a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.

A cauldron is an iron pot suspended so that it can be tipped easily, spilling its contents. Once emptied, a cauldron must be refilled-and its contents must usually be reheated-before it can be used again. It takes three actions to fill a cauldron and one action to tip it.

Cauldrons can be filled with other liquids, such as acid or green slime, with different effects.
