Salt Susceptibility. For every handful of salt thrown on the leech, it takes 3 (1d6) acid damage.

ACTIONS

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +2 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 1 piercing damage, and the leech attaches to the target. While attached, the leech doesn't attack. Instead, at the start of each of the leech's turns, the target loses 1 hit point due to blood loss.
The leech can detach itself by spending 5 feet of its movement. It does so after it drains 5 hit points of blood from the target or the target dies. A creature, including the target, can use its action to detach the leech.

Leeches are horrible little worm-like creatures that derive sustenance by draining the blood of larger animals. They tend to live in swamps or freshwater, though some types of leeches live on land. Salt burns the flesh of a leech, and many explorers that travel through swampy areas take a bag of salt with them.

gollark: More accurately, you can't prove that god exists, even in a world with said god, for all values of "god".

gollark: Agnostic is "don't know if god or not", not "theism but unsure about exact details".

gollark: I'm in the "there's no proof there's no god but it should probably be treated like any other claim we don't have good evidence for i.e. thought of as false" camp, which probably has a name.

gollark: You *know* there's no god, somehow.

gollark: There are also agnostics, which is kind of similar to what you might consider "soft atheism" I guess?
