Rolt's Mask of Shame

XP Value: 17,000

GP Value: 85,000


This everbright quicksilver mask was created to help Rolt of Helimbrash avenge his ruined city. It was created from the bones of his fallen followers and a mass of controlled living steel.

This mask of protection +3 magically repairs itself (as the spells mending in conjunction with permanency) if damaged in any way and grants its wear the following special abilities at will, unless otherwise noted:

  • Filter (constant)
  • Free Action (3/day)
  • Infravision—When seeing into the infrared spectrum, the wearer's eyes burn with a blood-red malevolence.
  • Instant Regeneration (1/week)—Whatever limb or organ regenerated appears as a writhing black mass of flesh, with bone-white necromantic glyphs shimmering across its surface.
  • Trollish Fortitude (1/day)—While regenerating in this way, the mask wearer totally and utterly covered in strange silvery-black, necromantic tattoos.
  • True Seeing (2/day)

    All of the above abilities function as if cast by a 24th-level wizard. In addition the about necromantic symbols remain psionically hidden from the wearer's senses, this Piper included so that the strange images would not scare the barbarian Rolt. Furthermore, any creatures of less than 8 HD viewing the necromantic symbols must save vs. spell with a -4 penalty, or run away in terror for 4 turns.
