Ointment of Acid Resistance

A vile is an oil that can protect items and skin from the harmful effects of acid. Usage: Non-magical weapons become immune from acid damage or other corrosive chemicals for 1hr. It will take 1 minute to polish the ointment onto a melee weapon. Humanoids become resistant to acid damage for an hour. It takes 10 minutes to apply the oil to the skin.   A single vile can be used on a weapon 4 times. However, a single vile can only be used on one humanoid.
