Strange use for Decanter of Endless Water

[lukelightning]

We use em for forced enema's.

Forced enema's (possessive) what?

Anything. All your base are belong to forced enema.

That's what they looked like, too.

If you were making a water-jet-powered boat, it would be better to price a magic item according to that use rather than trying to use a decanter.

I've used the decanter for ship propulsion in my game, too. It's a fun idea.

Decanters are also great fun for pasting vampires. They don't like it so much.

Ditto. The only 'wierd' use for a decanter of endless water that I have yet to see is someone using it for drinking.

As for the original poster, without delving too far into calculations (which I'm sure has actually been done before for the decanter), I believe one decanter is about the equivalent of one motor: i.e. 1 would make a fine jetski, 2 would make for a nice speedboat, etc.

I figure speeds at about 60' (same as a fast horse)

We must not let the Gnomes ever see these ideas.........

Bravo!


Actually I have seen it used for drinking before. Desert city, bult around a fountain, the fountain was bult out of several decanters on gyser mode shooting water straight up.

Water from the fountain was then channeled out through the city in a number of ways.

Water based economy, very stable form of government.

Many, many years ago, a cleric in our game used boots of levitation + decanter of endless water for flying around (rather imprecisely to be sure), so the jetpack idea is actually not too far off.

That is a popular method, but when I did that (with a gnome character of course), my DM still had me make a strength check each round to control the direction of the nozzle.
