"This alchemical substance, originally developed by secretive
worshipers of Zon-Kuthon to hide the marks of their devotion,
has become popular among former Gray Maidens. When
applied to scarred areas of the body, scarsalve causes those
scars to fade from view for 1 day. A character who gains benefits
from having visible scars loses those benefits while under the
effects of scarsalve, but she also gains a +2 alchemical bonus
on Disguise checks."
Alright so the question in regards to this is, if you have scars and you cover them with this do you gain a +2 alchemical bonus? Or is this item useless to 99% of players because you *have* to gain a mechanical bonus from your scars in order to get the +2 to disguise? It sounds more like they just needed to be clear that you don't gain benefits while hiding them (because it wouldn't make sense) and you still gain a +2 benefit regardless
