Breath Mint (3.5e Equipment)

Breath Mint


These magical candies come stacked into a wrapper of twelve pieces. Breath mints are made of a strange alchemical substance that stores immense amounts of highly oxygenated air, and fills the user's mouth with a rich, sharp freshness. Ingesting a breath mint and sucking on it will provide a steady supply of oxygen to a Medium-sized consumer's lungs for the next 30 minutes, allowing them to 'breathe' while holding their breath. Furthermore, orating while suckling or a breath mint or up to 30 minutes thereafter provides a +4 bonus to the Perform (oratory) check, as the minty freshness of your breath soothes nearby listeners.

Alternatively, at any time within the first 15 minutes of ingestion, a breath mint may be chewed to bits as a standard action, which releases all the oxygen at once in a directed gust of wind that lasts until the end of your turn.

Breath mints contain a bonding substance that has a strong laxative effect if taken in excess. Any creature ingesting more than one breath mint in the same three hours must make a Fortitude save for every subsequent breath mint taken after the very first, starting at DC 15 and increasing by one for every forced save afterwards. Upon failing a Fortitude save vs breath mint, the consumer immediately and irrevocably voids their bowels to the immediate chagrin of everyone nearby.

Warning: Do not swallow whole.

One roll of 12 breath mints is worth 100 gp.
