Lesser pallid masks are masks that have been shed from
the original Pallid Mask (see page 258) and retain
some of its cosmic power. The wearer of a lesser pallid
mask gains a +4 bonus on Perception checks and all
Knowledge checks. In addition, creatures do not
notice the wearer's presence unless the wearer interacts
with them personally. Even attacks by apparent allies
against the wearer do not alert enemies to the presence
of the wearer. This is a mind-affecting abjuration
effect similar to hide from animals, though the effect
is not restricted to animals. An observer can notice the
wearer normally by means other than vision, hearing,
and scent.
Question
What is the truth that the
Pallid Mask hides?
Answer
There are no truths in Carcosa.

DESTRUCTION

A lesser pallid mask can be destroyed by wearing it in a
zone of truth while in the presence of the King in Yellow
as he speaks a secret truth.

artifacts are not unique. No one alive today possesses
the knowledge or means to create them and they are
almost impossible to destroy, except by the indicated
method. Due to their rarity, they are often considered
priceless and are jealously guarded by cultists or wizards
who acquire them.
