cloak for my low level Rogue

[afata5]

We are gaming with a low level group. Our Rogue found a magical cloak...the thing is, i don't feel like giving him a cloak of elvenkind

Does anyone have any suggestions for a cloak (rogue user) thats worth in the area of 2K? Something usefull for him...doesn't have to be a cloak in the description, but if it can be converted into a cloak with those abilities, it would be great!

Thanks!

+1 Cloak of Resistance? Exactly 2k, IIRC, and every little bit helps, especially for the trap monkey.

There are several very cool options in the Magic Item Compendium, but they won't do you any good if you don't have the book.

+1 cloak of resistance is exactly 1K. I second the MIC suggestion if you've got it. The index by body slot in the back is handy for this sort of thing.

Hey,

I have the magic items compendium. I didn't really see much for the Rogue in the Cloak section itself...however its a big book Any ideas from that book that i can convert to a cloak?

The cloak of resistance is a good idea..i was however looking for something more rogue/sneak attack helping instead of the trap monkey. He is really going to be more orientated towards being a top notch flanker than a trap monkey...

Any more ideas would be great!
thanks,
Al

Design your own cloak to give him something that would benefit his class. Perhaps a cloak that allows invisibility once per day or such.

Cloak of Invisibility that functions a limited number of times a day?

I think that sounds great (once a day invi). I looked up the Vanisher's Cloak and it looks good i think. you can:
1 charge: become invi for 4 rounds
2 charge: you and an ally becomes invi for 3 rounds
3 chanrge: you and up to 3 allies become invi for 2 rounds.

total of 3 charges per day, renewable at dawn.
Price: 2500 GP.

what do you guys think?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Suggestion:
Sneak's cloak (cloak of shadows, scout's garb?):
+2 comp. bonus to hide and move silently
Cast ghost sound 1/day (1st level caster)
Cast message 1/day (1st level caster)
Cast detect magic 1/day (1st level caster)
Spells are use activated by thought as a standard action.

Total cost is, I think, 800 for +2s, 600 for spells, more "unrelated" abilities. So ~2K

Looks pretty good. Allows for more sneak attack opportunities, and sneaking around scouting or fleeing, but won't really impact an entire battle. My rogue would contemplate buying one, but it wouldn't be a sure-thing by any means, which is a decent sign that it is balanced.

1) Hat (cloak) of disguise.
2) Robe of bones
3) Robe of useful items (with many of the items already removed).
