Mask of mastery [Set Piece]

(Magic Item Compendium, page 193)

Price (Item Level): 3,500 gp (8th)
Body Slot: Face
Caster Level: 5th
Aura: Faint; (DC 17) enchantment
Activation: — and standard (command)
Weight: 1 lb.

This steel half-mask covers only the lower face. Over the wearer’s mouth, an emblem depicting a large eye with a crystal for its pupil stares forth.

Wearing a mask of mastery causes the wearer’s voice to sound more commanding and authoritative, adding a +5 competence bonus on Intimidate checks.
When activated, this mask allows you to utter a command (as the spell; Will DC 20 negates). Unlike the command spell, this effect is not language-dependent—the target needs only to be able to hear you. This ability functions once per day.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, command, possession of a piece of the set.
Cost to Create: 1,500 gp (plus 500 gp for base item), 120 XP, 3 days.
