Crafting Components

Burnt remains of an animated scarecrow

This pale white pumpkin is small enough to fit in the palm of a human hand. A macabre, grinning face is carved into one side, and a candle within burns an eerie purple flame. While its candle is lit, this pumpkin lantern shines dim light in a 10-foot radius. The lantern’s candle burns for 1 minute, after which the pumpkin instantly rots and loses its magic.

Undead must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw when entering the radius or when beginning their turn within the pumpkin’s light, taking 3d6 radiant damage on a failed save or half as much on a success. Incorporeal undead have disadvantage on this saving throw.

The pumpkin has AC 8 and 2 hit points. If the pumpkin is destroyed, all undead within 10 feet of it must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw , taking 6d6 radiant damage on a failed save or half as much on a success.
