Chuulface Mask:: This chitinous mask merges with its wearer's flesh when worn, but can be removed easily as a full-round action. As long as the mask is worn, the wearer's lower face becomes transformed into a mass of long red tentacles within a chitinous mandible. His upper face is a smooth shell with tiny, beady eyes. The user can still speak (albeit in a sloshing, gurgling voice), but any spell with a verbal component has a 10% spell failure chance.
As long as it's worn, the wearer can breath water and has darkvision 60'. If the user manages to establish a grapple on a creature, he can make a touch attack with the mask's tentacles once per round as a free action. A creature struck by these tentacles must make a DC 19 Fort save or be paralyzed 6 rounds.

Dragon Mask: This mask allows its wearer to see invisibility as the spell. The mask functions automatically, up to 1 hour per day. This time need not be continuous. When active, the wearer cannot be subjected to a sneak attack unless the attacker is at least 4 levels higher than caster level.
Moderate divination; CL 6th; Craft Wondrous Item, see invisibility; 44,000 gp; Wgt. 2 lbs.
Eyes of Dark Aura: When placed over the eyes, these ebony lenses allows normal vision and reveal the state of health of all creatures visible to the wearer within 25 feet.

Faint divination; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, deathwatch; 2,000 gp
Faceless Mask: A faceless mask looks like a shallow oval stone bowl with the inverted impression of a face on the inner surface. When held against the face of any creature, the mask adheres to the creature's face and bonds with it, erasing the creature's facial features (eyes, nose, ears, and mouth) completely. Removing a faceless mask is a full-round action that causes great pain (and 2d6 nonlethal damage).
Although the faceless mask robs the wearer of the ability to hear, see, smell, and taste, and prevents the use of any bite attacks, the benefits granted by the mask outweigh these disadvantages. The wearer is immune to all attacks that require sight, hearing, or a sense of smell (such as gaze attacks, most language-dependent spells, sonic attacks, a harpy's captivating song, darkness, and a ghast's nauseating stench). In addition, the wearer of the mask gains the blindsight ability to a range of 50 feet. Blindsight allows the target to maneuver and fight as well as a sighted creature. Invisibility and darkness are irrelevant to the creature, though blindsight does not allow the creature to notice ethereal beings. The creature does not need to make Spot or Listen checks to notice creatures within range of its blindsight ability.
Finally, as long as the mask is worn, the wearer is sustained without food, water, and air.

Spider Mask: Found only in the possession of high-ranking clerics of Lolth, these terrible masks grant great power, but they extract a terrible price upon the wearer. Once donned, the mask fuses itself to the wearer's face and cannot be removed short of using a limited wish, wish, or miracle. Even if the mask is removed in this way, the wearer must make a DC 25 Fort save or be instantly killed by the fury of Lolth.
