Spectacles of Discernment

Designed for a frequent sponsor of theatrical productions who liked to stay informed of all the off-stage drama, these silver opera glasses are affixed to a slender redwood handle. They can't be worn on the face but must be raised to the eyes and held there, at which point the spectacles of discernment grant a +2 item bonus to Perception checks to notice details at a distance.
