Gas Mask (5e Equipment)
A gas mask is a sealed mask that protects its wearer from inhaling hazardous gases, vapors, fumes, and particles, including radioactive particles. While wearing a gas mask, you are immune to nonmagical inhaled chemicals, toxins, or particles, and you have advantage on saving throws against inhaled chemicals, toxins, or particles of a magical nature. Even should you fail a saving throw against such an agent, you still have resistance to the damage it causes.
A gas mask is good for 24 hours of use; after that time, its filter(s) must be replaced in order for it to provide a benefit. A gas mask's filter(s) are designed to be swapped out and replaced quickly in the heat of combat or in an emergency situation; thus, you can replace the filter(s) with a Use an Object action; thus, a rogue with the Fast Hands feature could use the bonus action provided by Cunning Action to replace the filter(s). Some gas masks have one large filter, while others have two small ones.
