Mask of Destined Death

Wondrous Item, Very Rare, Requires Attunement

“This skeletal mask of fine silver acts as both a symbol and badge of authority for the Reaper Prince, Jack, who is never seen without it when enacting his duties. While shepherding the dead, empathy and understanding can be the greatest tool in helping souls move on. Sometimes though, it helps to be able to give them a little push…”

Death Comes For Us All - While wearing this mask, you may use a Bonus Action to ascertain how close another creature is to death and how to push them closer to it… You learn their maximum hit points and how many they have remaining. Additionally, you learn any conditions, spells, or diseases affecting them and any condition or damage immunities / resistances the creature has. 

Dearly Departed - While wearing this mask, undead creatures see you as one of their own and regard you as friendly, unless given a reason not to. Undead without the ability to speak are able to communicate with you telepathically from up to 60ft. away, as long as they were able to speak in life. This effect is still governed by an undead creature’s intelligence (e.g. A zombie with an Intelligence score of 3, may only be able to communicate very rudimentary concepts or images, whereas a skeleton with an Intelligence score of 6 may be able to form basic sentences.)

Additionally, any undead creatures you choose within 60ft. of you have Advantage on all saving throws and gain immunity to being Turned. 

Awaken My Loves - As an action, you can restore a deeper level of sentience to an Undead creature, by restoring a piece of their soul. If the Undead creature’s intelligence is below 10, it is raised to 10 and the creature’s alignment is restored to whatever it was in life. However, it does not regain any specific memories of its previous life.  Additionally, the creature gains the ability to speak a language you know. This effect lasts for 30 days and you may awaken a number of Undead in this way equal to your proficiency modifier.

Thanks to a certain fascist leaning sleestak changing the formatting on instagram, I'd see how it looks. I will say I kind of like having a little more room for text on the longer posts, but it's gonna make the ones without it look very sparse. Let us know if you like this format or not!
