[QUOTE="Sparky, post: 4943810, member: 13681"] A bit of crunch meets a bit of fluff. Let's look back at the 'everyone and their dog takes cloak of disruptions/survival' discussion and embrace that. Say that we all recieved these cloaks as a gift from some grateful King or atonishingly wealthy tailor and all take one or the other as our neck slot item. Then we can figure out what authority granted them to us (or if we discovered them as part of some strange cache of magic textiles). --- As far as what makes Amos stand out a little mechanical and a little fluffy.
