Boots and Cloak of Elevnkind - What is the Total impact to stealth when combined?
I might be reading this wrong, I thought the Boots and Cloak of Elevnkind granted a +5 to Stealth but it could be just the Cloak gave a “-5” to Passive Perception or +5 added before the roll to assist the DM with the Math but only for Passive Perception, Active Perception would still be Disadvantaged but not at a +5/-5
Or with both the boots and cloak added together give the +5 to stealth for Active and Passive?
"Creatures with Advantage on Perception negate all cloak and boots benefits"
PHB 177
Passive Perception. When you hide, there’s a chance someone will notice you even if they aren't searching. To determine whether such a creature notices you, the DM compares your Dexterity (Stealth) check with that creature’s passive Wisdom (Perception) score, which equals 10 + the creature’s Wisdom modifier, as well as any other bonuses or penalties. If the creature has advantage, add 5. For disadvantage, subtract 5.
