Hey again,
Here's a character idea I got: a Warforged obsessed by his own identity and face, and taking levels in the Master of Masks prestige class.
Here be questions:
1) the perceived alignment: some masks change the alignment "shown" by the character, with only a line about how the Paladin's Smite Evil would fail if a Good-aligned Master of Masks was to display an evil persona. What about other effects (circle of protection, etc)?
2) the Mask Specialist gives bonuses when wearing a "mask" magic item... but how can the character wear one while wearing his persona masks (since they occupy the same slot)?
3) the Hidden Mask ability allow the persona masks worn to be invisible. Once this is done, can the character wear a mundane mask on top of them (or underneath)? A magical one?
4) there is a maximum number of persona masks made (7 at level 9) and worn (4 at level 10), but what happens if some masks are destroyed/stolen/confiscated?
5) has anyone played this class or seen it played?
Thanks.

No thought? (no, I'm not referring to the Shiba Protector PrC)
1) A mask conceals your alignment, replacing it (for the purpose of detection spells or abilities)
2) I would say they can't wear and gain the benefits from a persona mask while wearing a magical mask, as they occupy the same space.
3) I would say you could wear a mundane or magical mask over an invisible persona mask, if you chose, but again, the magical mask would not function.
(Basically, for situations 2 and 3, I'd say either whichever mask was donned first is the one that functions)
4) I think that's the number of different personae masks the character can have available, they can make another one if one gets destroyed.
5) I've not played it, but these are how I would rule things if a player played on in a game I was GMing.
