Since Vampires are supposedly hurt by holy water, I always wondered why priests don't just say a prayer over every storm cloud, kill the vampires from above. Then I realized why so many Vampires are from Europe...
Someone already blessed the rains down in Africa.

I love it. Great post. Fantastic. Have a wonderful day
Because the priest uses his FP to infuse the water with Holy +1. But the amount of FP is fixed, based on the current level the priest has. This means the more water the priest tries to infuse, the weaker the effect. When infusing a small vial of water, it's very effective. For a vampire it would be like throwing scalding hot water at a regular person, burning them badly. But if you try to do something larger, it doesn't work as well. Once you get to the size of a coke bottle, it would be like just luke-warm water, not doing a lot. At that point, you'd be better off throwing pocket sand.
Hmm, I thought FP might be Focus Point and that this was the rules for Pathfinder 2e. But I couldn't find anything concrete about creating "holy water". The closest I found was a 2nd rank ritual that covers a 40 foot radius around an altar or shrine (or 80 on a critical success) for one year (or 10 years on a crit—choose one of these options on a crit). Or a 2nd level feat that creates up to 3 small containers' worth of holy water as "a temporary effect".
Definitely not gonna be blessing the rains at this rate.
