So I wanted to mix it up with the leader of the Vecna cult. I decided I would have him able to adopt the face of people that attacked him, and have the confusion in combat represented by an ability of his.
As I recall, it ended up working pretty well, if a bit unconventional from the rules standard. In retrospect, I would have changed this to just be an immediate fear attack against the person hitting him, and dropped the potential confusion.
It was interesting, but not interesting enough.

Faceless OneEverything in the room depended on how the PC's did the skill challenge. Luckily, they beat it, and so there were only human cultists, and not wererats.

Whenever the Faceless One is missed with a melee attack, he can immediately transform his look to look like that of the person who attacked him. Further melee and ranged attacks have a 50% chance of hitting the Faceless One's foe, as long as they remain adjacent and the Faceless One continues to look like them. This guise drops when the target is no longer adjacent to the Faceless One.
