Aura moderate illusion CL 10th
Slot head; Weight —DescriptionThis hat performs in all ways like a hat of disguise until its
owner attempts to use it to disguise himself in the presence of
a hostile creature. Once he does, the hat causes him to assume
the guise of the creature or person the hostile creature most
wants to harm. The hat never causes the wearer to assume the
appearance of someone the viewer wouldn’t harm if he had
the opportunity (for example, the greatly feared leader of the
local temple).
Once the hat reveals its true abilities, it no longer responds
to attempts by its wearer to change his appearance. Instead,
it automatically causes him to take on the guise of someone
known to and despised by those viewing him, complete
with supplementary illusions that make that wearer appear
disoriented, injured, or weak. For example, in a goblin lair,
the wearer might look like the tribe’s chief, but sleepy and
vulnerable. In a human town, the wearer may look like the
hated local bully, drunk and staggering. In an evil town, the
wearer looks like a confused visitor and appears to be an ideal
target to victimize with some crime.
Curse-breaking magic is necessary to remove the hat.ConstructionRequirements hat of disguise; Cost —
