Corpse Paint (3.5e Equipment)

Corpse Paint


This sealed jar contains a pale green powder. When mixed with water, the powder becomes a greasy substance that can be applied to a creature's skin. Once applied (a process which takes 1 minute), the exposed flesh appears pallid and rotting, bestowing the effect of a hide from undead spell, with a duration of 1 hour. Your appearance becomes that of a zombie, and gives you a +10 circumstance bonus on disguise checks to appear as an undead creature.

Unintelligent creatures do not react to a creature with corpse paint, and intelligent undead must succeed on a DC 15 Will save to detect a creature with corpse paint. The powder is fueled by negative energy, and therefore deals 1 point of non-lethal damage to the creature wearing it. The damage cannot be healed until the corpse paint is removed (a process which takes 2 minutes), or the one hour time limit expires.

A full jar contains enough powder to be applied to 10 medium creatures. A large creature requires two applications, and a small creature only requires half an application.
