Item: Scene Stealer's Tunic
This suit of padded armor consists of a beautifully woven pleated tunic adorned with a gold pattern and narrow bands of white fur trim on a deep blue background with matching pants, all of which are meant to signal wealth and status. This +2 resilient raiment padded armor was custom designed for Alessandro Domenesso, an actor as well known for their astounding costume changes as for their roguish off-stage activities. Even without utilizing the magic of this armor, it's elegant enough that it could easily be mistaken as fine clothing.
Activate—Look At Me! 2 (concentrate, illusion, mental, visual)
Frequency once per hour
Effect You make yourself visible and apparent to a creature you can see that's within 30 feet. The scene stealer's tunic transforms into something incredibly gaudy, distracting, or otherwise compelling to the target creature, who must attempt a DC 30 Will save.
Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Success The target is distracted by you and keeps looking your way. They take a –1 status penalty to Perception checks against everything but you, a –1 status penalty to all saving throws against your visual effects, and gain a +2 status bonus to all saving throws against visual effects created by anyone else; these penalties and bonus last for 1 minute.
Failure As success, but the target is also Off Guard to everyone other than you as long as you remain visible.
Critical Failure As failure, but the target also becomes Slowed 1 as they spend extra time on their turn admiring, glowering, or otherwise being distracted by you.
Trait Effects
Comfort: The armor is so comfortable that you can rest normally while wearing it.
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).
