CL 6 Eyes Slot Item • Weak Necromancy
Cost: 6,000 gp
Weight: 1 lbs.
Family: Deathwatch Monocle

A Deathwatch Monocle is a subtle device that fits over one eye, with a lens over that eye. When being used, the lens turns completely opaque, with a single baleful spark in the depths which peers forth in watchful awareness.

Deathwatch Monocles can be innocently made, of conventional gold and glass, or can have nearly any appearance desired by the maker, ranging from the practical to the fanciful, from a highly decorative butterfly or bat wings, insect-themes, nigh-mask-like designs with skullcaps to massive hoops of beaten iron cocked down over one eye with bubbled and flawed black diamond lenses. No matter their appearance, they always turn the lens black when used, with a single dire spark peering forth without favor or mercy. At the upper end, Deathwatch Monocles can appear as floating crystals in a gyre of darkness attached to the wearer's head, humming vortices of destruction, shimmering portals filled with eyes, and many others besides.

A deathwatch monocle +2 grants its wearer the following abilities:
  • Deathwatch: As part of a move action, the wearer may learn the exact current hit points (including temp, bonus, or any other hit points) of a creature they can perceive. This knowledge lasts until the end of the encounter, or until the creature gains or loses hit points from any source other than by your own actions.
  • Sense Stillness: Up to once per round per creature, as a swift action during the wearer's turn, the wearer can attempt to discern whether a target is real or fake. If the target is an illusion, this ability grants the wearer an immediate saving throw to disbelieve the illusion representing that creature. The DC of this save is the same as that used by the illusion in the first place. If the illusion did not allow any saving throw, this ability has no effect.

The owner of this magic item must wear it continuously for 24 hours to attune it to their aura, and until that time has passed, it provides no benefits to the wearer.
