Whenever you attempt to sell, bargain with, or otherwise utilize an item that you have made using this tool kit to persuade others as to its value you suffer disadvantage on the check due to the strange nature of the item in question. Certain creatures may find your curious inventions far more interesting than deranged, in these cases you instead gain advantage on such checks (at GM discretion).
