Whispering Mask Notes & tips
- You can use this mask to pass the gnarled door in the Overgrown Tunnel. However, at every turn, your character has a chance to be controlled by the hag. So remove it once you pass the door.
- Can be used to keep the NPCs from attacking you in the Blushing Mermaid - Basement
- Use Protection from evil spell can prevent you from being controlled.
AnonymousYou CAN remove the mask without any ill effects. In my case this was after the character had been knocked out, then made 2 consecutive saves against Ephemeral Whispers. I aided him and immediately removed the mask. good as new after a full rest.

Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else: Be a paladin, fail the saving throw, then succed on a charisma check against Auntie Ethel to call on your oath (active or broken). You will gain the Voice of Reason condition, which makes you permanently immune against Hag's Pawn (or at least for the duration of the encounter) while keeping the sight bonus.
First paladin to do this gets a cutscene with the option to inspiration reroll the charisma check, subsequent paladins get no cutscene and only one try.
This is different from Protecion from Evil and Good, where you are still constantly attacked and rolling saving throws, but Hag's Pawn just doesn't stick. Voice of Reason stops Ethels attacks completely, since you have won her mind game.

Is there a point using non-lethal attacks to save the NPC enemies wearing the mask or are they lost forever?

Masks become benign after dealing with the Hag, and when equipped give you 'Uncanny Sight' with the description 'Can see objects hidden to the unaided eye.' So far its only revealed peculiar flower traps and rock traps in the area behind the masked enemies.

Does this mask allow you to see through all illusions or just the ones relevant to its area?

If you use protection from good and evil you can wear the mask and it wont control you

I was able to take the mask off by opening inventory and dragging it off me. then I put my circlet back on.

Whispering Masks WILL curse you and are unable to be unequipped
Wearing the mask (after killing Ethel early in the teahouse at least), seems to have disabled all the traps in the poison room. Gotta wait a sec for the poison to dissipate.
