Mask of AllureEquipment 18
Source Pathfinder Secrets of Magic
Price 24,000 gp
Weight light
This mask appears to be a pool of mirrored, shifting silver adhered to a thin metal plate. When you place it against your face, it melds to the shape of your head. The material is breathable and light, and does not obscure vision. You gain a +2 item bonus to Deception, Diplomacy, Intimidation, and Performance checks while wearing the mask.
When you invest the mask, you either increase your Charisma score by 2 or increase it to 18, whichever would give you a higher score.
Effect: Mask of Allure
Activate envision (visual)
Frequency once per day
Trigger You attempt a Deception, Diplomacy, Intimidation, or Performance check
Effect You gain a +4 status bonus to the triggering check. This ability has no effect if you're under the effects of a disguise that hides the mask of allure. Depending on the skill used, the mirrored silver transforms into one of the following appearances.
- Deception A swirl of silver, which entirely obscures and conceals your normal features.
- Diplomacy A kind, gentle and inviting expression.
- Intimidation A monstrous visage that shocks viewers into paying attention.
- Performance A jovial humanoid face, the mouth cracked wide with a comedic smile or a tragic frown, depending on the nature of the performance.
Traits
Anything that doesn't list another rarity trait (uncommon, rare, or unique) automatically has the common trait. This rarity indicates that an ability, item, or spell is available to all players who meet the prerequisites for it. A creature of this rarity is generally known and can be summoned with the appropriate summon spell.
ApexWhen you Invest an Item that has the apex trait, it improves one of your ability scores, either increasing it by 2 or to a total of 18, whichever grants the higher score. This gives you all the benefits of the new ability score until the investiture ends. An apex item grants this benefit only the first time it's invested within a 24-hour period, and you can benefit from only one apex item at a time. If you attempt to invest an apex item when you already have one invested, you don't gain the ability score increase, though you do gain any other effects of Investing the Item.
EnchantmentEffects and magic items with this trait are associated with the enchantment school of magic, typically involving mind control, emotion alteration, and other mental effects.
InvestedA character can wear only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn't invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).
MagicalSomething with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. A magical item radiates a magic aura infused with its dominant school of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
