This elaborately braided headgear is made of rich blue felt, embroidered with golden thread.
An admiral’s bicorne often has a showy badge called a cockade, proclaiming nationality, faith, family crest, and the like.
A humanoid or monstrous humanoid who dons an admiral’s bicorne gains a +5 bonus on Profession (sailor) checks and all Charisma-based checks (including Leadership) as long as it is worn. The wearer’s voice is magically amplified, so that it can be heard clearly by anyone within 100 feet; class features and effects that depend on hearing the speaker benefit from the increased range. Finally, the admiral’s bicorne grants a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, saves, and skill checks to allies within sound of the wearer’s voice (including the wearer).
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, eagle’s splendor, heroism, owl’s wisdom, ventriloquism.
