If hunting with a weapon (melee, thrown, or the arrows for ranged), the item must be magical in order to successfully strike the wyrd. This means it can be [[Elemental Blade (411)|e-bladed]], [[Enchant Item (925)|enchanted]], made from a magical metal (naturally enchanted), or a [[Sonic Weapon Song (1012)|sonic weapon]].
{{addmetext}}

Regrettably, water wyrds can disarm sonic weapons and ''will'' attack in the period of time between the disarming and the weapon returning to the bard's hand. They are also capable of stunning PCs for up to 12 rounds.

Being composed of water, the [[water wyrd]] does not take any critical injuries and cannot be stunned. They can, however, be knocked to the ground and webbed. Sonic weapons do damage them, though not much.

They also appear to have some vulnerability to fire:

The water wyrd's upper body is that of a humanoid, while its lower body forms a turbulent, watery vortex. The facial features of the elemental creature are vague and shifting, rippling with every contortion of its face. Sloshing and splashing noises accompany each movement of the water wyrd, along with an odd gurgling.

Hunting strategies

If hunting with a weapon (melee, thrown, or the arrows for ranged), the item must be magical in order to successfully strike the wyrd. This means it can be e-bladed, enchanted, made from a magical metal (naturally enchanted), or a sonic weapon.

Regrettably, water wyrds can disarm sonic weapons and will attack in the period of time between the disarming and the weapon returning to the bard's hand. They are also capable of stunning PCs for up to 12 rounds.

Being composed of water, the water wyrd does not take any critical injuries and cannot be stunned. They can, however, be knocked to the ground and webbed. Sonic weapons do damage them, though not much.

They also appear to have some vulnerability to fire:

You gesture at a water wyrd.
You hurl a roaring ball of fire at a water wyrd!
  AS: +258 vs DS: +126 with AvD: +48 + d100 roll: +96 = +276
   ... and hit for 76 points of damage!
   The water wyrd gurgles in agony as steam billows about!
The roaring ball of fire strikes a water wyrd, blossoming into a much larger sphere of flame upon impact.
   ... 30 points of damage!
   The water wyrd gurgles in agony as steam billows about!
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Suddenly its eyes flash open and it hurls a blast of water at you!

With a quick duck to the side you easily dodge the watery blast!
Roundtime: 3 sec.

Or not:

The water wyrd closes its eyes and draws in on itself, arms crossed over its aqueous torso. Suddenly its eyes flash open and it hurls a blast of water at you!
