Purpose for Post
I’ve mostly been including information about games I run and talking about how I like different adventures. As a GM, I often find myself thinking about the items I give my players and creating little things to hand out. My personal favorite genre of magical item are the ones that at first glance feel just like flavor text, but then a player finds an absolutely masterful way to turn that item into a gamechanger, like the Decanter of Endless Water
This item might be a little more mechanically minded in its design, but I noticed that there was only one alchemical item that affected stealth in Pathfinder Second Edition official sources, and that was tied to Stealth against undead. So in true GM fashion, I decided to make one of my own and share it. I hope it brings joy to the would-be rogues in your games.
