Desirability
For most species, the robe of Night[1] reduces line of sight by 2 tiles (only 1 tile for Kobolds). This is clearly useful for stabbers, as reduced LOS makes it easier to approach sleeping enemies.
Those who would wear a robe anyways may also want this item, as it has good enchantment and a nice willpower bonus. Whether the LOS reduction helps or hurts depends on the character: a ranged weapon user will find it less useful than a caster relying on low-range spells like Stone Arrow. In any case, you may prefer an armour with elemental resistances and/or higher AC.
History
- Prior to 0.20, the robe of Night had a +4 enchantment.
- Prior to 0.19, the robe of Night granted the ability to turn invisible and had a +50 stealth bonus.
- Prior to 0.12, the robe of Night did not grant a passive Darkness effect.
