Armour of Silent Moves
Silent Moves is a D&D 3.5e armour property built around the old Move Silently skill. It does not carry across unchanged into Pathfinder 1E or either 5e ruleset.

5.5e / 2024
No direct core SRD property under this name. Use the 2024 Stealth and Hide rules. A custom silent armour item must state its benefit in 2024 terms rather than applying a Move Silently bonus.
5e / 2014
No direct core SRD property under this name. D&D 5e uses Dexterity (Stealth), not a separate Move Silently skill. Any conversion should therefore specify its effect on Stealth or another defined rule.
Pathfinder 1E
No separate core Silent Moves property. Pathfinder 1E merged Hide and Move Silently into Stealth. Its core Shadow armour property grants the corresponding competence bonus to Stealth and incorporates both visual and auditory concealment.
For Pathfinder play, use Shadow Armour rather than importing the 3.5e Silent Moves property.
D&D 3.5e
Price: +3,750 gp · Aura: faint illusion · CL: 5th.
The armour grants a +5 competence bonus on the wearer’s Move Silently checks. The armour’s armour check penalty still applies normally.
Construction: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, silence.
