=== Powers and Properties: ===
# Vampiric Sustenance: When the user drinks from the Goblet of Eternal Thirst, they gain temporary hit points equal to their character level. These temporary hit points last for 1 hour and provide a sense of invigoration and strength.
# Strength of the Thirst: Drinking from the goblet grants the user increased strength and agility. They gain a +2 item bonus to Strength and Dexterity-based skill checks and saving throws for 1 hour.
# Unseen in the Shadows: While holding the goblet, the user can activate it to blend into shadows and become nearly invisible in dim or dark conditions. This grants them a +4 item bonus to Stealth checks in such environments.
=== Drawbacks: ===
# Blood Craving: The Goblet of Eternal Thirst instills a deep and insatiable craving for blood. After using the goblet, the user must succeed on a DC 17 Will saving throw to resist the urge to seek out and drink blood from living creatures. Failure results in an alignment shift toward evil.
# Ephemeral Vigor: The temporary hit points granted by the goblet are addictive but fleeting. Once the hour has passed, the user suffers a temporary -2 penalty to their Constitution score for 1 hour as they experience the withdrawal effects.
# Malevolent Attraction: The goblet's use may draw the attention of supernatural entities, such as vampires or bloodthirsty spirits, who are drawn to the power it grants and may seek to take it for themselves.
