[QUOTE="Alt F4, post: 5012352, member: 69886"] Cool post. I love the way you evoke the flavor of your childhood imagination. To answer the question, I haven't seen any games like that. But I can imagine ways to add a mechanical aspect to D&D. Such as small circumstantial bonuses to skill checks like Hide or Disguise when wearing a cloak. A winter cloak (price as a masterwork cloak) grants a small bonus to saves against cold effects, and when fighting in a cold environment, turns any attack that you miss by 1 into a hit that does minimum damage. On the down side, cloaks restrict movement, so if you're wearing a cloak while fighting and miss an attack by 5 or more, you become entangled in your cloak and have to spend a round freeing yourself. Thing is though, from where I sit, I'm not sure that captures the magic you're after. I think instead what you need is some sort of ability that is more freeform, that lets a cloak protect you when a cloak logically would, without having to enumerate all those situations in advance.
