Wondrous item, rarity varies (requires attunement)

Masks that appear in the form of the faces of various species. Constructed from the bones of a member of that race, the face that appears on the mask resembles the face of the one whose bones were used to construct the mask. Wearing the mask forces you to assume the appearance depicted on the mask.

Putting on and taking off the mask is a traumatic experience as the body is forcibly modified and takes one action.

Wearing a mask of forms removes the racial traits received from the player's existing race, such as ability score increases and traits like darkvision and replaces them with the traits dictated by the mask. Proficiency and languages are not removed by putting on the mask.

Your class, traits, proficiency and other features that are unrelated to your race are unaffected by wearing a mask of forms.

The masks can be removed by the wearer at will, but anyone else must succeed a DC 20 strength check to forcibly remove the mask.
