-	-	Magic Items	-	UA

This normal-appearing chapeau contains a powerful enchantment which allows its wearer to alter his or her appearance as follows:
 
 

Height	+/- 25% of actual height
Weight	+/- 50% of actual weight
Sex	Male or female
Facial features	Highly mutable
Hair	Any color
Eyes	Any color
Complexion	Any color

Thus,
the wearer could appear as a comely woman,
a half-orc,
or possibly even a gnome.
If the hat is removed,
the dweomer of the disguise is instantly dispelled,
but the headgear can be used over and over.
Note that the hat can be changed (as part of a disguise) to appear as a comb,
ribbon,
head band,
fillet,
    <wiktionary: fillet,
    Eme's Compendium: 13th c. Hair and Hats (cf fillet),
    think: headband, ribbon, or other band>
    <a link to a definition, and an image, on a separate page, can be made>
cap,
coif,
hood,
helmet,
etc.

Q: Is the change produced by a hat of
disguise partially real or completely
illusory? Will tactile examination
reveal the change? Can the hat produce
functional equipment?
A: The hat?s effect is similar to that of an
alter self spell, subject to the limits given
in the item?s description in Unearthed
Arcana, page 100). Just touching the disguised
individual will not reveal his true
nature, but true seeing or detect illusion
will do so. Like alter self, the change is
partially real; the height and weight of the
user actually changes, but any equipment
created in the process is nonfunctional.
The hat cannot produce functional body
parts such as wings or gills.
