It is mildly poisonous when eaten raw (DC10 Con Save, or be poisoned for 1 hour), but the local lizardfolk boil it in hot water and consume it as a bitter but mildly narcotic beverage.  \nConstruction workers commissioned by Lord Dagult Neverember to lay a trade road between Waterdeep and Neverwinter first came across this plant when trying tobefriend and enlist the aid of the lizardfolk and brought it back with them to Waterdeep.  \nHow is it made into a drug?  \nIt was not long before Alchemists and Apothecarians dried and distilled the Black Lily petals into a black powder that could be burned and inhaled, allowing it to be dissolved into the bloodstream directly via the lungs.  \nHow does the drug work?  \n For each dose consumed, the user must make a base DC10 Constitution Saving Throw. Upon failure, the drug fails to take effect. Upon success, the drug's positive and negative effects come into play.  \n Each additional dose in the consumed packet reduces the base DC by 1. (This means that a powerful dose has a lower DC than a milder dose.)  \n Each subsequent use of the drug increases the base DC by 2 . (This means that more powerful doses are required to gain any benefits from the drug upon repeated use.)  \nDrug Effects  \n\n| Dosage Effect |\n| --- |\n| 1 Advantage on ability checks |\n| 2 Speed doubled |\n| 3 Advantage on attack rolls and saving throws |\n| 4 Hit point maximum doubled |\n| 5 Speed tripled |\n| 6 Death\u003Cbr>All effects last for 1 hour, except the last one. Six doses taken at once leads to instant death, since the heart cannot sustain the hyperactive state triggered by the drug.\u003Cbr>Drug After-Effects |\n| Dosage Effect |\n| 1 Disadvantage on ability checks |\n| 2 Speed halved |\n| 3 Disadvantage on attack rolls and saving throws |\n| 4 Hit point maximum halved |\n| 5 Speed reduced to 0 |\n| 6 Death\u003Cbr>Each dose consumed gives the user 1 level of exhaustion once the positive effects of the drug wear off\u003Cbr>How do users become addicts? |\n| The drug's positive effects typically last only 1 hour, but the drug itself lingers within the user's bloodstream and its negative effects persist.\u003Cbr>Finishing a Long Rest does not reduce the level of exhaustion brought about by the drug.\u003Cbr>One way to be rid of the negative effects of the drug is to take another dose of the drug. Each successful dose consumed reduces one point of exhaustion for the duration the drug is in effect. However, the positive effects of the drug start kicking in only when the exhaustion level is reduced to zero.\u003Cbr>How is addiction treated? |\n| The only way to be completely rid of the negative effects of the drug is by magical means, by way of a Greater Restoration spell performed by a Cleric or a Spellcaster. While this may seem an easy solution for the wealthy or powerful, this is a very expensive and inaccessible option for most poor people, making the addiction a very visible indication of poverty-stricken areas.\u003Cbr>Credit |\n\n Written by [https://twitter.com/artofkarthik/](https://twitter.com/artofkarthik/)  \n Document designed with  \n[https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com)  \nTHE BLACK LILY: FUN OR FIEND?  \n1  \nXanathar Guild  \nOne of the organizations leading the Black Lily drug trafficking trade is the Xanathar Guild.
