Estus Flask (5e Equipment)

Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement) This green glass flask holds within the glowing golden fluid called Estus; a popular treat amongst undead, since not only do very few other reliable healing methods work for them, but its distinct taste can be felt even if the drinker doesn't normally have that sense. Trying to pour any other substance into the flask doesn't work as it simply slides right out. Estus. The Estus flask can hold up to twelve charges. While attuned to it, you can expend a charge and take a swig from it as an action, regaining hit points equal to 7 plus your Constitution modifier. Only the person attuned to the flask can gain any benefit, as the Estus within vanishes into thin air quickly after leaving the bottle. You still benefit from this effect if you are undead. When the last charge is expended, all you can do is contemplate the meaning of existence as you stare mournfully at your empty bottle, at least until it refills. Recharging. The Estus flask does not normally regain charges on its own. However, there are several known methods of causing it to refill itself: Heating it for 10 minutes over an open fire causes it to regain 1 charge. Whenever you succeed on a death saving throw, the flask regains 1 charge. If you die, the flask siphons a little bit of your escaping life energy for itself, and regains all of its charges.

An Estus flask filled to the brim with Estus.
