Item: Bandit’s Camouflage Cloak

Wondrous Item (uncommon)

Description: This hooded cloak is woven from dark green and brown fabrics, expertly designed to blend into natural surroundings. The outer layer is adorned with patches of leaves and twigs, while the inner layer has a silky texture that seems to shift in color slightly depending on the angle of light. When worn, the cloak feels surprisingly light and cool, as if it were a part of the environment.

Magical Properties:

Camouflage:
While wearing this cloak, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide in natural terrain, such as forests, grasslands, or similar environments.
Chameleon’s Step:
As a bonus action, you can use the cloak to become invisible until the start of your next turn. You become visible if you attack or cast a spell. Once you use this property, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Nature’s Shield:
The cloak provides a +1 bonus to AC against ranged weapon attacks. This bonus reflects the cloak’s ability to blend with natural cover and obscure the wearer from sight.

Backstory: The Bandit’s Camouflage Cloak was crafted by an expert bandit leader, Whisper Blackthorn, known for ambushing travelers along forest roads. This cloak allowed the bandit to disappear into the foliage, striking fear into those who dared to travel through their territory. Over time, tales of the cloak’s magical properties spread, making it a sought-after item among rogues and rangers.

This item is great for parties that are focused on outdoor and forest adventures. Feel free to drop this item into a treasure horde for a local bandit encampment or random encounter on the road.
