Description

While worn, a smoky violet faceless robe grants 0 base AC and 3 DR to the head, upper torso, lower torso, and leg slots. Smoky violet robes grant MC3, confer cold resistance and a minor spellcasting bonus, as well as increasing the hero's charisma and constitution by the robe's enchantment. Wearing or removing a smoky violet faceless robe takes 2 actions.

A worn smoky violet 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 smoky violet faceless robe does not block attacks that target the wearer's head from hitting, such as most intelligence draining attacks.

A smoky violet faceless robe can be used to hide a spirit's influence, obscuring the binding marks of spirits like Astaroth and Andromalius.
