Bandit masks
Yay, I like this idea and must improve it! (good work on the suggestion btw, i don't think i mentioned that earlier)

Purpose
So we all know of those cartoon bandits in ski masks running around chased by cops. Why do they wear ski masks? To hide their identity of course! Why would it be any different for a bandit to wear a mask in medieval ages?

Names
So would you know a thief by who masked his true appearance? the joker? the riddler? something not from batman... if their appearance was masked you wouldn't know them by their true name, but by an alias. So i would suggest that while donning a mask you can use it for a new name (named as "Mask of ") you would likely name it when you first don the mask, and once named that inserted name would replace your username above your player and in chat as well as in NPC speechbanks if you have a high enough reputation, otherwise it would use "some thief" in the speechbank, and they would be changed to things similar to "Oh, no! has come to steal from me!" or "It is the great ! fetch the garrison!" and non-military NPCs would run.

Alignment
While wearing a mask your align is reset, although you will not be able to gain alignment with any faction but "The underground" and any NPCs from another faction would be wary of you. while you are wearing your mask nothing you do will affect your normal alignment, but if you are revealed you will lose 50 align with all factions along with the alignment you lost while a bandit, that alias will also no longer work and you will lose respect as a bandit as you have been revealed and may have revealed secrets to survive.

Hiding in plain sight
While sneaking you should make no noise, and NPCs should not "see" you unless they are facing you, this would allow one to sneak up upon his unsuspecting prey and take all their money.

Appearance
Sorry, but your masks just don't look right, I would propose a mask similar looking to a black turban (wrapped with near-black coloring and only a 1-pixel slat at eye level.) I will make a texture in about 7-8 hours when I get home. they should be dyeable, but always remain dark, and should be able to accept feathers (crew leaders only, no feathers for you lowly scum.)

Revealing
While a player is wearing a mask you can be a jerk and right click them with a 5% chance to rip off their mask and reveal them as the scum they are (you lose respect for doing this) alternatively it takes about 2-5 seconds right next to an NPC that is not part of the underground (about 3 blocks) for them to remove your mask

and i feel like i am forgetting something, sorry if i missed something
