This long-stemmed pipe always emits a thin plume of smoke, even when not lit or in active use. The exact material the pipe is made of varies in every accounting; sometimes made of polished oak, other times ebony, sometimes stone, and in one Erutaki legend the pipe is made of pure ice that somehow holds a flame. Though the
wandering pipe is not intelligent, it is rumored to possess a certain capriciousness, leaving the possession of mortals whose lives are not exciting enough but inevitably finding its way back to its one true owner.
When held in one hand, the pipe grants its holder a +2 circumstance bonus to
Deception checks but imposes a -1 circumstance penalty to
Stealth checks made to
Hide or
Sneak, as its telltale plume of smoke gives away the bearer's position.

Destruction The
wandering pipe can be broken as easily as any other wooden pipe, but it always reforms afterward in the hands of the
Immortal Trickster or one of his bonded mortals. It can only be broken by the hands of one of the Trickster's bonded mortals who is an honest person acting with good intent; it is said that if this occurs, the Trickster would also be significantly weakened as a result.
