Item: Gaze of the Mantis
These glasses have faceted red lenses like those of a mantis and are popular as a less ostentatious alternative to a full mask. While wearing the gaze of the mantis, your field of view increases to give you better awareness of your surroundings. You gain a +2 item bonus to visual Perception checks and cannot be flanked.
Activate—Target Sense 1
Frequency once per day
Requirements You're a Red Mantis assassin
Effect You learn the distance to and direction of all creatures that have a Red Mantis contract on them within 10 miles. If one of these creatures is within 100 feet, you also know any afflictions, conditions, and spells affecting them. This awareness lasts for 1 hour.
Trait Effects
Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).
Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
