Cloak of Shadows

The Cloak of Shadows is intended for a character who needs an advantage when hiding. Its appearance may be plain enough to resemble ordinary traveling clothes at first glance. In the story, it may come from a scout's equipment or a commission for a cautious messenger. Its name means neither complete invisibility nor the right to pass any patrol unnoticed.

It helps with an attempt to hide, but the outcome still depends on the circumstances and the relevant rules. The hero needs to find a suitable place, consider the light, and avoid drawing attention through unsuitable actions. The bonus does not extend to every dexterous task or all attacks. An escape that combines the cloak's advantage with a good plan can create an interesting scene.

It uses the "Cloak" slot and the base item is a "cloak". The listed bonus is +1 AGI when hiding. It applies only to an attempt to hide. The item has no other explicitly listed requirement. Its catalog value is 16 gp. Follow the calculation and conditions of the bonus exactly; its origins in the story alone grant no additional abilities.
