Along with providing mediocre physical defense and [[electricity]] resistance, the '''robe of Clouds''' randomly generates [[cloud]]s of thin mist and rain around you. The rain occasionally turns dry tiles into [[shallow water]] and shallow water into [[deep water]], potentially cutting off areas to non-flyers or sinking items out of your reach. This is more obnoxious than useful for most playable [[species]], but [[merfolk]] only benefit from turning the world aquatic, while [[Fedhas Madash]] worshipers can use their god-gifted abilities to dry up areas you accidentally made inaccessible or carve out water mazes enemies must navigate to reach you. All other characters who find it will likely only wish to wear it sparingly, using it to generate defensive moats outside of combat, or for the electricity resistance if no other source is available. For general use, look for something with better defensive stats and intrinsics.

Desirability

The robe of Clouds is most useful for those who haven't found another source of electricity resistance yet. It can also be useful for low level characters with some Evocations level, as thunderclouds generate lightning – which can do some nice damage but at the cost of being extremely loud. While cloud immunity is slightly useful and reduces the tedium of certain parts of the game, the scarf of cloud immunity is less rare and takes up a less critical armour slot. For general use, look for something with better defensive stats and intrinsics; a robe of resistance wildly outclasses this past the early game.

History

Prior to 0.23 the allowed one to evoke flying and randomly generated clouds of thin mist and rain, which occasionally turned dry tiles into shallow water and shallow water into deep water.
