Originally created by a dryad sorcerer, many sylvan races fighting to preserve their woodland homes favor these cloaks. Elves and their allies possess the majority of these magic garments.

 

A sylvan cloak is mottled green in color with oak leaf designs in brown and gold running along its length. Heavy fabrics, such as burlap and wool, make up the cloak and a number of magical enhancements ensure that it never catches on branches or underbrush and that it faintly smells like a forest after a heavy rainfall. A copper brooch in the shape of an acorn gathers the cloak at the neck.

 

Anyone who wears a sylvan cloak gains a +4 bonus on Escape Artist checks and a +4 bonus on Fortitude saves made to resist the effects of extremely hot or cold environments. Creatures tracking a character wearing a sylvan cloak by scent take a -10 penalty on their Wisdom or Survival checks while tracking him through heavily wooded areas. This effect of the cloak does not inhibit trackers in any non-forested environment.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, pass without trace; Cost to Create: 5,750 gp.
