[Eastern Relics] Mask of the Tengu (Patreon)

Mask of the Tengu

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)

Component: celestial soul

“Lies should be avoided. However, if it cannot be helped, then they should be convincing and not lead to a web in which you trap yourself. This tool will teach you to lie once, and lie well.”

- Sensei Lialia on giving his student a mask of the tengu.

When you don this mask, it shifts to match your features, leaving your nose slightly longer than before, but it is otherwise undetectable.

Duplicitous Duplication. While wearing this mask, you can use a bonus action to create a perfect illusory image of yourself. When you create the duplicate, you can choose to have it step out of your own form into an unoccupied space adjacent to you, or you can have it appear in your space while you move into an unoccupied adjacent space without provoking opportunity attacks. This duplicate lasts for 1 minute, or until you dismiss it as a bonus action. As part of the bonus action used to create the duplicate and as a bonus action on subsequent turns, you can have the illusory duplicate move up to your speed to a space you can see. The illusion is indistinguishable from yourself, and creatures can’t tell the difference until they see you physically interact with something (such as hitting a target with an attack) or see the illusion fail to physically interact with something (such as being hit with an attack, which passes right through it). Once this property has been used, roll a d4. On a 3 or lower, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Switcheroo. While wearing this mask, when you are the target of an attack by a creature you can see, but before the creature makes its attack roll, you can use your reaction to try to switch places with a creature no more than one size larger than you that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature is unwilling, it must make a DC 13 Charisma saving throw. If the creature is willing or fails the saving throw, you switch places, and the creature becomes the new target of the attack. Alternatively, you can choose to switch places with the illusory duplicate created by the Duplicitous Duplication property. Once this property has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

---------------------------------------

Rare variant: Increase the DC to 15 and the d4 to a d6. Once the Switcheroo property has been used, roll a d4. On a 3 or lower, it can’t be used again until the next dawn. While wearing this mask, you can cast the disguise self and minor illusion spells (save DC 15). Once disguise self has been cast in this way, it can’t be cast again using the mask until the next dawn.

Very rare variant: Increase the DC to 16 and the d4 to a d8. Once the Switcheroo property has been used, roll a d6. On a 3 or lower, it can’t be used again until the next dawn. While wearing this mask, you can cast the disguise self and minor illusion spells at will (save DC 16).
