[QUOTE="genshou, post: 2286646, member: 13164"] As promised, in this item listing I'll show you the beginnings of a true gem among magic items. My rogue/ranger/bloodhound just loved it. [B]Cloak of the Untraceable The Story:[/B] Already a powerful adventurer at this point in time, the human rogue/ranger/bloodhound Evendur Greycastle discovered an arcane scroll in Myth Drannor. Neither he nor his bardic companion could identify the spell (Evendur used Cosmopolitan to gain Spellcraft as a class skill, but it wasn't a spell known to the world, so the checks to identify the spell automatically failed). Though we never found any other instance of this spell in Faerûn, it was identical to the spell [I]Mordenkainen's private sanctum[/I] from Tome and Blood (just created by someone else because–as pointed out earlier in this thread–Mordenkainen is not a resident of Toril). Now, since myself and my PC Evendur both happen to be enterprising individuals, we took the scroll to a local NPC wizard we had befriended in recent adventures, and let him copy it to his spellbook. After seeing the spell's function, I had an idea. So, Evendur asked the wizard to forge an item using that spell (plus one other), and thus was born an enchanted cloak which eventually reached a level of power equal to that of a major artifact. This cloak is primarily responsible for Evendur Greycastle being a man of such reknown, but without anyone really knowing anything about him. [B]Item Description:[/B] This cloak appears as a dark forest green, wrap-around cloak with a deep hood. It has a texture similar to that of silk, but was woven from the strands of phase spider webs. At all times, it seems to absorb some of the light from around it, but occasionally a bright light will cause a faint shimmer to reflect off of it. The interior of the cloak has a few pockets useful for stashing away thieves' tools and a small amount of gems or coins. [B]Item Abilities:[/B] Whenever worn, the cloak prevents all Divination attempts against the wearer or any gear on the wearer's person. When the hood is drawn up around the wearer's head, it blurs and distorts the wearer's image, making him appear as a dark, foggy mass which twists and bends light confusingly. This grants one-half concealment and a +15 circumstance bonus on Hide checks in shadows (this does not stack with the [I]shadow[/I] armor quality, nor with a [I]cloak of elvenkind[/I]). In addition, the drawn-up hood ensures any sound the wearer makes cannot be heard, and the wearer cannot hear any sound except the sound he himself makes. This prevents the wearer from using or being affected by language-dependent or deafening effects, but does not prevent the character from using spells with verbal components (others simply cannot hear the verbal components). [B]Statistical Information:[/B] Caster Level: 9th; Craft Wondrous Item, [I]blur[/I], [I]Mordenkainen's private sanctum[/I]; Market Price: 140,000 gp; Weight: 1/10 lbs. [B]Price Breakdown:[/B] [I]Mordenkainen's private sanctum[/I] (5th-level Wizard spell), use activated: Spell level * caster level * 2000 gp 5*9*2000 gp=90,000 gp [I]Blur[/I] (price increased to match that of identical benefit [I]minor cloak of displacement[/I], then doubled for being an additional enchantment on the item): 25,000 gp*2=50,000 gp [/QUOTE]
