Alter Aura In a Device

Unread post by The Beast »

Are there any devices you can wear that changes the wearer's aura to whatever is desired while the device is being worn. I thought there was an amulet somewhere that did this but so far the only thing I found that's close would be an Artifact from NBSB2, and all that would do is either change your arua to a Nightbane or make it so you arua can't be seen.

Not in PF2 canon as far as I know.

The artifacts in NB there are three options: normal human aura, NB aura or a null aura. Each one is different from what the wearer's aura would be. However, each of those auras are set, and do not change from artifact creation.

And AA could be the basis of a TW item.

Yeah, none of those are what I'm looking for. I'm really looking for something that just changes the alignment...

The easiest way would do a write up of a magic item yourself.

I don't recall a person's aura indicating their alignment at all.

LS is correct, the alinment of a char can not be detected by a see/sense aura power/spell.

However, if the char is a SuperNatural Being (& evil) then then they can be detected by the Psi power Sense (SN) evil.

Well that's what I'm after; something that changes the alignment of the wearer. The Null Aura power on the Artifacts Of Power from NBWB2 seems to be the closest thing I found to what I want. The plus side is I could have at least two more powers, depending on the type of artifact I choose. The downside is that other types of benifical powers wouldn't work either, and it's more than what I want...

Also I'd like to stick to canon stuff for this...

I don't want to go with a TW-device, unless I didn't have to pump PPE into it to keep it on 24/7.

The real problem is, altering aura is a psionic effect, not a magic one. Only magic items that can HAVE psionic powers (which is essentially limited to Rune-weapon level of power) can effect your aura in any way.

It's simply not something magic is generally capable of.

This is something different then changing the appearance of the wearer's aura. For this you would have to go to that strange rift on Atlantis or Xy's alignment changing magic circle.

Artifacts from NB take the place of rune items have in rifts and PF.
No they are not exactly the same as rune items, but they are at the same level as rune items.

This in no way contradicts what I said, nor did I say artifacts are not on the level of rune weapons. Are you disagreeing with me? :?
