Frostbud

Magical; material

Region: Frozen Wastes, Lofty Mountains (freezing or near-freezing climates)

This shrub produces flowers that resemble ice-blue roses that are seemingly frozen in time. Adventurers who succeed on a DC 16 Nature check learn that frostbuds are, in fact, flowers that are frozen solid, and that when they are thrown against a hard surface they shatter. However, they cannot survive outside of freezing or near-freezing temperatures, and will melt if removed from their natural habitat. A DC 16 Survival 
or herbalism kit check allows an adventurer to harvest 1d4 frostbuds from one plant. These buds can be used as a thrown improvised weapon (range 20/60). When thrown against the ground or a solid surface such as a wall, the buds explode, dealing 1d6 piercing damage in a 5-foot radius centered on the area of impact.
