MANTLE OF CELESTIAN
MANTLE OF CELESTIAN
Experience Point Value. 1,500 xp
Gold Piece Value. 15,000 gp
This garment is of black cloth—the color of the 7th Order of clerics of Celestian. It is otherwise unremarkable. If magic is checked for, the mantle will radiate an aura of Alteration.
The principal power of this wrap is to enable the wearer to exist in the cold void of outer space. Its wearer can breathe and feel as if he or she were in a cool, well-ventilated place where any oxygen-breathing creature could exist. It also protects against poison gases of all sorts.
The mantle also provides +1 on all saving throws versus electricity, fire, and noise (including drums of deafening or panic, roaring, thunder).
The mantle is also well suited for travel, having the following qualities:
Food
The wearer may simply reach inside one of its many pockets and find sufficient rations for one person for one day; this nourishment is available once per day.
Drink
In another pocket there will be a small ewer which will provide up to seven gallons of water, pouring cold or warm as the pourer commands. Such a draught is obtainable once per day.
Shelter
The wearer will not grow cold or hot or become wet or damp while wearing the mantle.
Belongings
The mantle has seven large and seven small pockets, and only one of each are needed for food and water, so the remaining 12 can be used to store whatever is desired (up to 70 gp weight in the small pockets or 140 gp weight in the large) with no bulk, bulge, or added weight.
The mantle also has a special power which is conveyed to the wearer only if he or she is a cleric of Celestian, whether druidical or not. This dweomer enables the wearer to "see" the aura of any stranger met along the way, so as to give warning of Evil, Neutral, or Good intent. The power is not automatically bestowed, however, for the wearer must concentrate to sense the aura.
