If you pee on his head and tell him it's a river, does he get to roll to disbelieve? lolI'm pretty sure the rules don't actually cover this situation, but I think the intent (and the tradition, for whatever that's worth) is probably that they need to be submerged in a continuous source of running water like a stream or something - at least in the IRL tradition, it's the continually renewing nature of the water that makes it potent.As far as the mechanical rules go, as others have stated it might work in theory, but good luck trying to keep Strahd held long enough to do more than knock some HP off him...Tangential anecdote: Back in 4th Grade, we used to play on Saturdays after Catholic Catechism class ("Sunday school") and our teacher Sister Maria was the party cleric. She was new to the game and I was going seriously rules-lite on her character. The party were getting their posteriors handed to them by a bloodsucker in the wine cellar that it was using for a crypt. It had Sister Maria the Benevolent jacked up by the neck with one hand and was pimp-slapping the fighter with the other.When Sister Maria's turn came around, she stood there silently thinking for quite some time... And then announced that her character reached back to the shelf behind her and seized two jugs of water. She then recited, in character, the exact ritual that Catholic priests use to make Holy Water...And smashed the jugs together with the vamp's head inbetween them.The entire table was silent for almost a full minute, then we just looked at each other, shrugged, and I began describing how the thing burst into flames and died horribly. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />(I mean, what else could I do, y'know? lol... Oh, and Public Service Announcement: never roll dice with the clergy - I swear that woman could roll a natural 20 on a D6...)</blockquote>
