• Prerequisites: BAB +1, Weapon Finesse feat, Proficiency in the rapier, Scimitar, shortsword, or longsword (or similar weapon).
• Benefits: You have learned to use a cape or similar swath of cloth as a tool in combat, and you are proficient with it as a light exotic melee weapon. In addition, when wearing light or no armor and fighting with sword in one hand and a cloak the other, you enjoy the benefits of the Two-Weapon Fighting feat.
• Special: A cloak deals no damage, but you may use one to attempt to disarm, trip, and distract your opponent. With a successful cloak melee attack, you may make either a Disarm or Trip attempt or Distract your opponent, imposing a -2 penalty on its next melee attack against you that round. Any bonuses of a cloak apply to attack rolls when used as a weapon.
