Robe of Useful Items

Robe of Useful Items
Robe of Useful Items – AI Generated Artwork – NightCafe Creator

This appears to be an unremarkable robe, but a character who dons it notes that it is adorned with small cloth patches of various shapes.

This material is Open Game Content, and is licensed for public use under the terms of the Open Game License v1.0a.

Only the wearer of the robe can see these patches, recognize them for what items they become, and detach them. One patch can be detached each round. Detaching a patch causes it to become an actual item, as indicated below. A newly created robe of useful items always has two each of the following patches:

  • Dagger
  • Bullseye lantern (filled and lit)
  • Mirror (a highly polished 2-foot-by-4-foot steel mirror)
  • Pole (10-foot length)
  • Hempen rope (50-foot coil)
  • Sack

In addition, the robe has several other patches. Roll 4d4 for the number of other patches and then roll for each patch on the table below to determine its nature.
