Talk:Miner's Mate (5e Equipment)

How long does the blindness and deafness last? It seems a bit powerful to make such a cheap item blind and deafen creatures near it. It could be used very effectively as a grenade.

I'm going to give this a rarity instead of a gp cost. It is far better than the Bomb in the DMG (which is 150 gp and a renaissance item). I'm also removing the sentence "If the creature has fingers in their ears or their eyes closed," since a Constitution saving throw represents doing this anyway.
