A polished iron mask, expressionless and featureless, save for burned etchings of sacred flame across its surface. Inside, ash clings to the lining—refusing to fall.
Properties:
-
Armor of Conviction:
While wearing this mask, you gain +1 to AC and immunity to the frightened condition. -
Judgment Unveiled (1/Long Rest):
As an action, you may invoke the true wrath of the Hollow-Faced Flame.
All Fractured creatures within 30 feet of you must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is:-
Paralyzed until the end of its next turn
-
Visually tormented by divine flame, seeing their sins played out in ghostly fire
On a success, a creature is not paralyzed, but has disadvantage on its next attack roll or saving throw.

-
Aura of the Flamebound:
While attuned, your voice echoes with a hollow resonance. Any creature that attempts to lie to you must make a Charisma (Deception) check vs. your passive Insight. On a failure, they stutter or falter, revealing unease.
The Hollow-Faced Men do not speak of who first wore this mask, only that it was found in the center of a village burned clean of sin. The mask is both a relic of zealotry—and a cage for mercy.
