God Speaker Kimono
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
Component: celestial skin
The counterpart to the Demon Hunter clan, the God Speaker clan, guard the angelic relic that inhibits celestials’ passage onto the Material Plane. The God Speakers see violence against celestials as a last resort and instead seek to deceive and manipulate them. Their clothing is made from silk of the ether moth, a creature that blinks into the Material Plane only to lay its eggs, and flits out of the Material Plane the moment it emerges from its cocoon.
Innocence. While wearing this kimono, you can use a bonus action to speak its first command word, ‘pure’. Your aura becomes saturated with celestial energy, manifesting as an almost-visible golden nimbus. You gain advantage on Deception checks for 10 minutes. For the duration, you are immune to magic and other effects that allow other creatures to read your thoughts or determine whether you are lying. Once this property of the item has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
Blink. While wearing this kimono, you can use a bonus action to speak its second command word, ‘shimmer’. Your aura implodes, immediately transporting you to the Ethereal Plane. While on the Ethereal Plane, you can see and hear the plane you originated from, which is cast in shades of grey, and you can’t see anything there more than 60 feet away. You can only affect and be affected by other creatures on the Ethereal Plane. Creatures that aren’t there can’t perceive you or interact with you, unless they have the ability to do so. At the start of your next turn, you return to an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of the space you vanished from. If no unoccupied space is available within that range, you appear in the nearest unoccupied space (chosen at random if more than one space is equally near). This property has no effect if you use it while you are on the Ethereal Plane or a plane that doesn’t border it. After this property has been used, roll a d6. On a 1 or 2, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.
