Helm of the Duergar

Opera fans may recognize these magic items....

The Helm of the Duergar – Level 8

This helm, made by dwarves deep beneath the bones of the earth, is a fine coif of silver chain with a shining silver mask that covers the upper face. With it one can take on the shape of any creature of about the wearer's size.

Item Slot: Head 3.400 gold
Power (Daily; Minor): The wearer can Change Shape (see monster manual p280) to alter its physical form to take on the appearance of another creaure of its size or one size category larger or smaller, including a unique individual (giving a +20 bonus on its Bluff check to impersonate that individual). The new shape lasts until the creature is reduced to 0 hit points or choses to change back. Changing shape in this way does not grant any special powers or abilities.


The Helm of the Duergar King – Level 19

This fabled device, crafted by a greedy dwarven king, is a fine coif of silver chain with a shining silver mask that covers the upper face. With it one can take on the shape of any creature of about the wearer's size, and even disappear from sight entirely!

Item Slot: Head 105,000 gold
Power (Daily; Illusion; Minor): The wearer can Change Shape (see monster manual p280) to alter its physical form to take on the appearance of another creaure of its size or one size category larger or smaller, including a unique individual (giving a +20 bonus on its Bluff check to impersonate that individual). The new shape lasts until the creature is reduced to 0 hit points or choses to change back. Changing shape in this way does not grant any special powers or abilities.

Power (Daily; Illusion; Standard Action): Become invisible until the end of your next turn.
If you’ve reached at least one milestone today, using this power requires only a minor action.
