Hey i just wanted some help with making an intelligent item i'm new at this so help would be nice.
I basically just want a mask that whispers into peoples minds and makes them go mad basically.
i'm really not sure how to go about this and it won't really be anything more than a sub-plot but if i'm going to do this i want to do it right.
Do you want it to whisper to the wearer or to other targets?
What other abilities would you like it to have? (ie why would someone want to wear it in the first place?)
Start by defining its personality and goals. For example, is it an evil ring who wants to return to its Dark Lord creator and be with him when he'll enslave the lands? Is it a lofty sword who rests in a shrine deep inside a cave, where it wants to remain, but with a deep hatred for Vampires that adventurers could use to make it want to move? What is it?
Haven't thought of it much but i guess it's just a mask that wants to cause as much destruction and suffering as possible through the bending of peoples wills. Making them do more and more horrible things until they are just mindless drones that obey its every whim.
As abilities go i guess being able to influence people but only for evil purpose. So evil Jedi mind tricks, other than that i'm not sure.
Then here's what I would make:

Malicious Mask
Value: 32,900 gold, slot: eyes
This beautiful and subtly designed mask acts as Goggles of Night (12,000g), granting 60' darkvision to its wearer. It has it's own evil purposes, and while helping its owner manipulate those he encounters, will also manipulate its owner into more and more terrible deeds of evil.
Alignment: Neutral/Evil
Int: 18 (4,000g)
Wis: 10
Cha: 14 (1,000g)
Powers:
Empathy
Telepathy
Senses 120' (1,000g)
Darkvision (500g)
Can cast the following spells at CL 6, save is based on INT:
Murderous Command (3/day DC 15) (1,200g)
Oppressive Boredom (2/day DC 16) (7,200g)
Suggestion (1/day DC 17) (6,000g)
Wow thanks for that this will be super helpful.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it.
I'm a big fan of intelligent magic items.
What's the Ego score, Blueluck?
