Abilities

Vanished Alignment — The Vanish Man doesn't have an alignment aura and cannot be detected by spells such as detect alignment .
Constant Spells — A constant spell affects the monster without the monster needing to cast it, and its duration is unlimited. If a constant spell gets counteracted, the monster can reactivate it by spending the normal spellcasting actions the spell requires.
Attack of Opportunity

Change Shape (concentrate, occult, polymorph) — The vanish man can take on the exact form of any Small, Medium, or Large humanoid whose face they carry in their bag of faces, changing their shape and physical features to precisely match that of the victim whose face they wear. This doesn't change the butcher's Speed or attack or damage bonuses with their Strikes.
