They find the same Cloak, no one is still an ace at stealth.It's not that this is actually particularly good for the game... you've done an extra favor to someone who maybe didn't even need it, and didn't help much someone you could have. I'm not going to rip my hair out if they do this, but it's not an improvement on the game IMO. If anything, it encourages characters to boost what they are already good at, and discourages others to get good at something they are not, because you can bet that the Cloak won't go to the non-Rogue because it would feel "wasted" on them. Note that both of these (boosting the best guy, and boosting the others) could be a good thing after all... it's just that if magic items don't provide new abilities but only makes you better at something you already normally are, at least we have one possibility less.</blockquote>
