Remove the Invisibility Potion

Explanation:

The invisiblity potion gives a far to easy cop out to get around tricky situations, and defeats the whole point of the game. Either remove it completely, or drastically tone down its usefulness with respect to difficulty.

Points to bear in mind:

Bad PointBoth the slowfall and invisiblity potion offer players a way of ignoring the rules of the game, therefore decreasing immersion.

Point to bear in mindGuys need to keep in mind that not everyone is a very good thief, and some people need that invisibility potion or that slowfall potion to complete a level. Could just cut out the invisibility/slowfall potions on the harder skill levels.

Bad PointHow realistic are zombies? How about ratmen or fairies? Why then, would this completely ruin the whole game?

Point to bear in mindRemember, newbies are players too. Even if thay are bad, with some encouragement (like fake potions) and practice, thay can outgrow the need for 'external' help.

Possible AlternativeIf they are kept, make them completely unavailable for any difficulty above Easy.
