Monocle Of The Ebon Hunter

This lens attached to your face makes you a deadly hunter at night, able to bring down your prey with arrows from the dark.
Lore: Warforged can attach a monocle of the ebon hunter to their temples; it improves their vision at night (Knowledge [arcana] DC 15). The monocle also help warforged archers hit their targets, whether it’s dark or not (Knowledge [arcana] DC 20).
Description: A monocle of the ebon hunter is a coin-sized lens of smoky crystal, set in a wire frame that attaches to your head near the temple.
When you have a ranged weapon in your hands and are in shadowy illumination or darkness, the wire frame around the monocle glows faintly red-orange, like embers in a campfire. Peering through the monocle, you see auras surrounding your foes within 60 feet. Bright sparks on the periphery of the aura indicate weak points in your enemies’ defenses; you’re more likely to strike a telling blow if you can hit those points.
Prerequisite: A monocle of the ebon hunter is an embedded warforged component, so it functions only for warforged characters.
Activation: A monocle of the ebon hunter occupies space on the body as a set of lenses or goggles, providing its benefits automatically as long as it’s embedded. Embedding or detaching a monocle is a standard action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. You can wear only one monocle at a time.
Effect: Monocles of the ebon hunter come in two varieties. A lesser monocle grants a +1 competence bonus on ranged attacks made against targets within 60 feet. A greater monocle grants a +2 competence bonus on ranged attacks on targets within 60 feet, and a +1 competence bonus on damage rolls if those ranged attacks hit.
Both versions of the monocle of the ebon hunter grant darkvision out to 60 feet.
