Unter

Slight variation on Gygaxian Democracy here. You have 1-2 days from the first submission to come up with meaning for the word "Unter". They can be anything - Weapons, potions, monsters, something you do...

Then I reveal what I had in mind for it, and see what you came up with. All reasonable suggestions will be used. As such I'd appreciate it if you could provide an alternate name with your submission.

  1. Unter: An alchemical agent that looks and behaves like water when sealed in a glass container. It explodes into purple flames when exposed to air. Excellent for producing explosions in adverse conditions (rain, snow, undersea, etc). Unter is a rare commodity that is both difficult and dangerous to manufacture. Also known as Falsewater.

  2. Interesting. I'm not quite sure how it would work under water though. A very long straw?

  3. Using a two-chamber unter/air vacuum bottle, of course. :-)

  4. Makes sense, although you'd have to use a mage hand spell to activate it or something. I'll have to get some for my fae-blood assassin.

  5. That would be a very effective way to trigger it.

  9. Trey,

    I really like your riff on the German meaning. Sprechen Sie Deutsch?
