Editing Guide:Mirror of Loss

{{Guide}}
This is a guide to the [[Mirror of Loss]].

Only one character needs to pass the initial [[Arcana]] or [[Religion]] checks to identity the mirror, but each party member must pass their individual [[Religion]] prayer checks in order to receive the permanent ability buff. Items that boost Religion or [[Intelligence]], which can be passed to each party member for each attempt, will skew the odds in your favor. These include:

* {{RarityItem|Warped Headband of Intellect}}
* {{RarityItem|Mage's Friend}}
* {{RarityItem|Shapeshifter's Boon Ring}} (when disguised or shapeshifted)

General spell and class-specific buffs to checks like [[Guidance]], [[Enhance Ability]] and [[Bardic Inspiration]] additionally shine here.

Alternative to having the {{RarityItem|Warped Headband of Intellect}} equipped, the character can be temporarily respecced through [[Withers]], giving them an Intelligence rating of 17 that can be further increased with the [[Ability Improvement|ability improvement]] feat twice, to 20. The character can be respecced back to their main build afterwards, retaining the Mirror of Loss stat enhancement.

== Patriar's Memory ==
To more reliably get the extra bonus from the Patriar's Memory, each character interacting with the mirror should do so before offering a prayer. This way, they won't prematurely lock yourself out of subsequent rolls by landing on the +2 bonus, and will increase the odds of getting the Patriar's Memory outcome.
