Description
While worn, a faceless hood grants 0 base AC, 0 base DR, and wearing or taking off a faceless hood takes 1 action.
A worn faceless hood 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 hood is cursed or they do not have a free hand, and it will always block their bite attacks and tentacle attacks, but it will also block any intelligence drain attacks or similar attacks that target the wearer's head. Only faceless hoods made of their cloth base material, or those made of glass, allow for full vision. Faceless hoods made of other materials instead act like a blindfold while worn.
