Default Master of Masks Revamped

Some of you may remember me asking about the Master of Masks on the Gaming Forums. I hope this is not the case, as I ended up asking it almost immediately after someone else asked basically the same questions without my realizing it. Generally, though, I heard quite a few statements regarding the Master of Masks' weakness, especially when compared to other Jack-of-all-Trades classes. Hell, I remember someone saying it was a better idea to make a sorceror/wizard and just claim your powers came from masks you wore.

So, here's my little fix to the poor thing, which I really do like quite a bit.

Persona Masks: This remains pretty much unaltered. I'd like to put all the masks and exactly what Persona Masks *DOES*, but that might not be in adherence to the OGL thing. Or whatever the abbreviation is. However, all of the information is also given in the Complete Scoundrel excerpt on wizards.com. Should I post want I'd like to be able to post?

Favored Face: At 3rd and 9th level, the Master of Masks can choose one of the masks in his repertoire as a "Favored Face." The benefits he reaps while wearing that mask is increased greatly. Unfortunately, choosing this benefit narrows the focus of the Master of Masks, and he must strike a mask from his repertoire. He may regain the ability to use this mask when he gains another mask known. This means that if a Master of Masks chooses one Favored Face, then he will only be able to use 6 masks, instead of the 7 normally allowed, and when a Master of Masks chooses two, that number lowers to five. In the following spoiler is what choosing each Mask as a Favored Face does to it:

Thoughts? Comments? Still underpowered and a poor choice? Maybe a little bit overpowered now?

Thanks in advance for any feedback that may come my way.
