Category Alchemical RemediesDescriptionA gritty salve with an earthy odor, muscle grout is frequently sold in areas where giant spiders or ropers haunt local trade routes. When massaged into the muscles as a full-round action, this ointment provides a +2 alchemical bonus on saving throws to resist nonmagical effects that cause Strength damage. Any Strength damage you take manifests gradually as the salve slows muscle decay; anytime you take Strength damage, you take only 1 point per round until the full amount of damage is dealt. Additional Strength damage adds to the total, but is dealt only at a maximum rate of 1 point per round, as long as the grout is active. A dose of muscle grout lasts for 10 minutes. One dose of muscle grout is sufficient for a Medium or smaller creature; Large creatures require 2 doses, Huge creatures require 4 doses, and so on.
