Item and Weapons for the Player

Remove the SlowFall Potion

Explanation:

The slow fall potion was fairly useless, the only reason people didn't mind it as much as the invisibility potion is that it represented less of a cop out, it wasn't needed anyway.

Points to bear in mind:

Both potions encourage people to ignore the rules of the game and therefore decrease immersion.

There is a hidden use, using a speed potion then the slowfall to execute really loooonnnng jumps.

Remember, newbies are players too. Even if they are bad, with some encouragement (like these unrealistic potions) and extended practice, they can outgrow the need for these 'helpers'. Otherwise, the game becomes too frustrating to continue trying. Thief isn't as simple as an ordinary FPS. .. so its more difficult to make the adjust to thief's style of gameplay.

Same as the Invis potion, this should only be available to those playing on the Easiest Difficulty level.
