Head Armours

• Neutral Mask:

Look at Mask:

This is a strange mask made of leather and dyed to look wooden. It appears to
be a stylised human face, sexless and without expression.

Evaluation:

"A neutral mask should provide very poor protection for your head.

This armour looks like it would be more effective against slashing attacks,
and less effective against crushing attacks."

Message on Equip:

You place the mask over your face and discover what it is to be without an
identity.

Effect:

+10 Ambushing (rogue only)

+10 Seclusion (rogue only)

+10 Stealth (rogue only)

Location:

Sometimes equipped by Adventurers in Ravel when Flaw visits.
