[QUOTE="Darren, post: 1783391, member: 22701"] Have to disagree a bit... I would say that using it is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, but that the mask provokes an attack of opportunity before making its touch attack. Activating a magic item (except reading scrolls and using potions) is generally a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. The mask is presumably tied in some way to the wearer's face. Removing it your standard action that activates it. A free action takes little or no time. The mask must be removed, fly to the target, attack, and fly back. To me this seems like a sequence that would take up more time than would be reasonable for a free action. It provokes an attack of opportunity before attacking because it is a tiny object and therefore must enter the target's square in order to make its touch attack. I'm quite willing to be proven wrong on this point though. But it does seem strange that the mask's AC, hardness, and hit points are listed in the DMG if no one ever gets to attack it... [/QUOTE]
