Helm of Disguise
The Helm of Disguise – Level 8
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.
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.

Earrings of Warning
These earrings were originally a gift from the Magus Alidol to the Sorceress Sophia. Knowing the type of enemies she had, he enchanted these earrings to help her be forewarned when she was in danger. They are finely crafted teardrop lapis lazuli stones in gold settings.
While worn, these earrings confer the following benefits:
+1 insight bonus to initiative
+1 insight bonus to reflex saves
+5 competence bonus on listen checks
When worn, they take up the hat magic item slot.

Helm of Entrapment
This helm employs an illusion to trick the wearer into putting it on backward, so the eye holes face backward. This effectively blinds the character, and since the item is cursed, the wearer cannot willingly remove it. A remove curse spell will allow the wearer to doff the entrapping helm.
Moderate transmutation; CL 7th; Craft Wondrous Item, bestow curse; Price 1,300 gp.

Winged Helm
This helmet, fittingly adorned by giant wings, allow the wearer to fly at various speeds, depending on the size of the adorning wings. Activating the item takes a standard action, as the wearer must rub the feathers with saliva not unlike the way a cat preens itself.
The helm in the picture is the minor version of the helm, which allows the wearer to float a foot off the ground with very limited mobility, essentially hovering and moving at half speed.
The normal version (with 18″ wings) provides fly at the wearer’s normal move and the greater version (with 6′ wings) provides flight up to 100′ per round.
Originally researched and developed by Djander, mage counsel to the King of Vandor in the waning days of his kingdom. When the king passed, the land split into the Ten Princedoms, and the Winged Helms allow the Princes to travel quickly across the sea to convene meetings to continue to rule the land. As such, there are ten Winged Helms, one each in possession of the princes.
Price: 25,000gp
Price, minor: 12,500gp
Price, major: 50,000gp
