A cloak which, if worn by a light-emitting monster, blocks them from emitting light. Also applies to the player if they are carrying a light source or polymorphed into a light-emitting monster.

New role based on a “loup du noir” archetype, possibly called the Lycanthrope - you start with a pelt, a new sort of cloak-slot armor that polymorphs you into a specific type of monster when you wear it. You also are inflicted with some sort of delayed lycanthropy - you won’t randomly polymorph into a monster like with standard lycanthropy, but after not using a pelt for a while, you do start feeling the urge to put one on, and if you still refuse, you are eventually compelled to put one on. (It isn’t specified what happens if you get rid of your pelt(s) by the time you would be compelled to wear one; possibly you just die from insanity, or else the addiction is implemented in some other way like continuous worsening HP damage.)

The form you get from wearing a pelt has some boosted stats from the base form - in particular, your carrying capacity and damage would be better than the stat blocks for the monsters suggest.

You could start with either a “default” pelt which is not very good, but can be turned into an ideal one later, or start with a specific animal’s pelt, which you can control with the pettype option. This role never starts with a pet.

Pelts might also work as a standalone concept or one that works with a druid, ranger, or caveman role:

• You can obtain a pelt by using a knife to skin the corpse of some monster that would reasonably have a pelt. This will probably be an occupation, and either its time or success rate will vary based on your knife skill and if you have a role-specific bonus.
• By using some sort of magic (instead of it being inherent to a role), you can transform into the animal whose pelt you are wearing.
• Pelts confer some benefit when worn as a cloak besides the ability to polymorph, which varies depending on the monster species, such as a boost to damage.

Priests get a +1 bonus to Charisma when they wear whichever cloak has the “ornamental cope” appearance.

Snow golems occasionally drop one or more of the following when killed:

• carrot
• fedora or elven helm
• random cloak, possibly slightly eroded, rarely of frost
• random pair of gloves, possibly slightly eroded, rarely of frost
• a few rocks, or possibly jet stones

An artifact cloak (the base type is unspecified, likely a normal nonmagic cloak) that you can apply towards an adjacent monster. If that monster has less HP than your current experience level, it dies and is consumed by the cloak, which can grant the cloak extrinsics it confers to the wearer. Every additional extrinsic added may remove out one or more existing extrinsics on the cloak.

Not specified whether you need to take the cloak off to apply it at things.

Artifact cloak Mantle of the Manta Ray, inspired by a similar D&D cloak. It confers magical breathing and swimming when worn.

If you are wearing a greased cloak, it should not count as one of your carried items for purposes of determining if you can squeeze through a diagonal choke point.

Occasionally when a pit or hole is generated, generate a random cloak on top of it (it’s poorly covering the opening and the hero doesn’t notice until they either search while next to it or step onto it).

New shop type “thief shop”. Contains blindfolds, lockpicks, thiefstones (if implemented), rogue/pickpocket gloves (if implemented), cloaks and daggers. Something special should happen when you directly steal from a thief shop.

A cloak of flying.

If a cloak is on top of an item pile, it will protect anything underneath it from burning up in a fire blast on that space (though the cloak itself might burn).

Artifact Shade Cloak: cloth cloak that is always tattered (has 1 level of unfixable erosion), confers (not-very-fast) speed and drain resistance. Invoke effect is temporary phasing and the incorporeality of a shade.
