OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Sneaking Hssiss, while a difficult brew to research, develop, and create, is remarkably simple in concept and execution. Jahn’s potion is ingested orally, and within a few minutes the drinker’s presence in the force is muted, indistinguishable from background “noises” around him/her. Furthermore the user can “cloak” while under the potion’s effect, hiding them from sight and other non-auditory means of detection, such as heat or the odd infantry-specific radar. This active cloak can be maintained for up to fifteen minutes, and requires one-third of the cloak to “reset”, i.e. five minutes rest for fifteen minutes cloak. A believer in the empowering nature of the Dark Side, the potion does give the user inclinations towards tendencies such as rage and envy, but the effect is nowhere near the strength of traditional Sith Poisoning(and is of course, subject to writer discretion). Overall Sneaking Hssiss is a simple, but effective tool for Sith operatives.

Hides users presence in the Force
Allows user to cloak from mundane methods of detection, such as sight or heat vision
Hides users presence in the Force for the duration of the potion’s effect.
Allows the user to “actively” cloak themselves from vision, heat, and other mundane methods of detection
Originally derived from Sith Poison, the Sneaking Hssiss is slightly toxic in nature. As a result it can only be used twice a day, allowing the system to recharge.
The Sneaking Hssiss’s effects are related to its inherent toxicity, and as a result species with resistance to poison have diminished effect and reduced duration.
Sneaking Hssiss does not have any effect on the sound the user makes, and as such errant footsteps can spoil the surprise.
The “active” cloak bears a bit of a toll on the system. As such it can only be maintained for up to fifteen minutes at a time, needing up to five minutes of “wait” before going again.
As a variant of Sith Poison, the potion brings out addictive dark side tendencies such as rage.
Sneaking Hssiss is a difficult potion to make, requiring rare supplies. As such it will never go beyond cottage level(semi-unique) production.
