No Face Noppera-bos have no sense of vision, but their sense of hearing is precise. They don't breathe and are immune to effects that require breathing. They gain sustenance by absorbing fluids through their skin—traditionally by immersing their hands or faceless head into the fluid to “drink” through osmosis; they can also benefit from consumables, such as potions or elixirs, in this way.

While transformed and their face is covered, the noppera-bo gains a +2 circumstance bonus to Impersonate that creature. As long as the noppera-bo has a face, it loses its no face ability and its listed immunities.

Critical Success The target is unaffected.
