Robe, Liar’s

Price 4,180 gp; Slot body; CL 5th; Weight 6 lbs.; Aura faint transmutation

DESCRIPTION

This hole-ridden burlap robe would appear completely worthless if not for the immaculate red velvet lining its interior.

When worn inside out, a liar’s robe enshrouds the wearer in a continually shifting array of colors, features, and faces that obscure his entire appearance and make physical recognition all but impossible. This effect lasts for 1 hour, during which time the wearer can go back and forth between wearing the robe inside out (disguising himself) and right side out (revealing his true form) any number of times. Witnesses to a creature wearing a liar’s robe must use true seeing or a similar effect in order to pierce through this disguise; otherwise, they see the wearer only as a continually shifting humanoid form.

The wearer’s voice, scent, and other tangible cues are also continually altered and distorted, though indirect magical means of identification (such as detect thoughts or locate creature) may still be used to recognize the individual. Since even the most magically disinclined individuals can clearly tell that the wearer is enshrouded in an illusion, a liar’s robe is typically used in circumstances when it’s appropriate to protect the wearer’s anonymity without the wearer feigning another identity or hiding her presence.
