This very ordinary, even shabby, brown or gray cloak makes its wearer appear utterly unmemorable. It gives a 5% bonus to hide in shadows in all circumstances and makes the wearer 80% undetectable if in a crowd (detection resistance also applies). It also makes a wearer almost impossible to recognize after having been seen-very useful in avoiding identification after a crime. Unless a witness (and it must be an eyewitness) makes a check against 1⁄4 of his or her Intelligence, a wearer of the mantle appears so mundane and boring in appearance that the witness is unable to recognize a user as the thief, regardless of whether or not the thief is wearing the mantle.
