These two ovals of murky glass are rimmed with brass and linked by a brass arch. When resting on the bridge of a wearer’s nose, the glass magically clears.
These lenses expand your field of vision. Flanking opponents gain only a +1 bonus when attacking you instead of +2 (attack benefits that are conditional on flanking, such as a rogue’s sneak attack damage, still apply because you remain flanked). You gain a +2 competence bonus on Spot checks but take a –2 penalty on saves against gaze attacks. These are continuous effects and require no activation.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, true seeing or ubiquitous vision {XPH 139}.
Cost to Create: 1,600 gp, 128 XP, 4 days.
