Demon Goat Mask (3.5e Equipment)

Demon Goat Mask
''This devilish goat skull fits over your head snugly. A sharp pain goes through you as bone needles jut into your skull, binding you to the vile thing.''

Technically a cursed item, the demon goat mask cannot be made through normal means. They are created through a ritual which summons and binds a capra demon to its own skull. Because it is a cursed item it doesn't see much use beyond the dark rituals they are intended for, because once a creature places the skull upon their head bone needles shoot out and deal 1d4 points of vile damage, and the skull is unable to be removed. A remove curse with a higher caster level or a break enchantment allow the skull to be removed.

While wearing the skull you are vulnerable to electricity and fire, taking an additional +50% more damage from these sources. In exchange you gain the ability to speak and understand Abyssal, Sylven, and Druidic, and you gain wild empathy of a druid of your level. You gain a +10 bonus on Handle Animal checks, and an additional +8 bonus against fiendish animals. You may use Handle Animal on magical beasts at a -4 penalty. Lastly, you gain darkvision out to 60 ft.

The skull (and anyone who wears it) radiates evil as a cleric of your level (minimum 12th level).

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, planar ally or planar binding'', must be a chaotic evil outsider.

Cost to Create: 4500 gp, 360 EXP, 9 days.
