Description
While worn, a black faceless robe grants 0 base AC and 2 DR to the head, upper torso, lower torso, and leg slots. It grants MC3, confers cold resistance, and a very minor spellcasting bonus that is most noticeable on spells that already had a small failure rate. Wearing or removing a black faceless robe takes 2 actions.
A worn black faceless robe covers the wearer's entire head and face: this "faceless" behavior completely prevents them from eating, quaffing, or applying items to their face (including putting on or removing items such as lenses) if the helm is cursed or they do not have a free hand. It will also always block the hero's own bite attacks and tentacle attacks, though, unlike faceless helms, a black faceless robe does not block attacks that target the wearer's head from hitting, such as most intelligence draining attacks.
A black faceless robe can be used to hide a spirit's influence, obscuring the binding marks of spirits like Astaroth and Andromalius.
