Ok,

In the exp.Psi.handbook on page 143 is a lovely representation of a fantasy style gas mask, and i think Ebberon is the best setting for such a cool looking facial item.

look at the following link so you can understand additional ideas of looks and moods:

I envision this style of dress code to be very fitting to Karrnath. somewhat similar to Prussian/ Napoleonic, WW1 style French/ German uniforms.

I have no clue what the item itself would have to do, or cost, any thoughts on that?
Maybe like a bottle of air, but not freely passable like said bottle, coz its stuck to yr head.
And more effects vs gas attacks, as you are not breathing foul air.

Any thoughts?

I think there's one in the MAgic ITem Compendium, but too busy to look right now.

Thanks for the reference, but i looked at the wotc site in the art section, and i could not find a pic of such an item, i did this as i don't have said book myself.

Anybody can give me a rundown on this item if it is what i might be looking for? :plotting:

Mask of Sweet Air. No picture, but it describes it as "Cut to cover the mouth and nose, this clear crystal half-mask has tiny, bubble-like imperfections that mar the interior surface of."
2000gp, face slot, lets you breathe in smoke, dust, fumes, etc., with no penalty of suffocation, as well as giving a +5 vs inhaled poisons and stench attacks, and the like.
Of course, you can use the stats (however vague) with it looking different.

Karrnath could be using the things because half of their army doesn't care about gas attacks, meaning you could just assemble a unit of Undead with a living commander for added flexibility and hand a mask to the commander. Cannith East will probably have had some interesting ideas on gas delivery...

Whow, deliberate biological warfare?, lol... hmmz weapons of mass gas attacks... like stinking cloud, deathcloud (i meant Cloudkill) and such, interesting...

not nice way of warfare but interesting..
I am a L.G. priest of Milil (forgotten realms (N.G.bard kinda god).) half Huecuva, duellist type fighter, would that kind of warfare not be a bit dodgy?
