If you are wearing a cloak, it takes an extra four turns to put on or take off [[body armour]]: two to remove the cloak, then take off or put on the armour, then two more to put the cloak back on. This is done automatically by the game when changing armours. To minimize turn count while wear-testing armour, manually remove the cloak first to keep the game from wasting time reequipping it repeatedly. If your cloak is [[curse]]d, you cannot change body armour: you must uncurse it first.

A cloth cloak.

"O Bell my wife, why dost thou flyte?
Now is now, and then was then:
Seek now all the world throughout,
Thou kens not clowns from gentlemen:
They are clad in black, green, yellow and blue,
So far above their own degree.
Once in my life I'll take a view;
For I'll have a new cloak about me."
-Anonymous, "The Old Cloak". 16th Century.

Cloaks are pieces of armour that fill the cloak slot. They take 2 turns to equip or remove, and can be enchanted up to +2. Cloaks also provide excellent protection against acid. Normally when you're splashed with acid, the damage you take increases for every empty equipment slot. A cloak, however, reduces the chance of that happening per slot to 50%.

Egos

Cloaks can normally have the following egos:

Only found in some vaults (notably Ice Caves):

Strategy

Looking for a cloak early on? If you come across (and can kill) Crazy Yiuf, he's guaranteed to come with a cloak. It might even be magical!

If you still need a decent cloak in the late game, the Realm of Zot can be a good place to search, as all Draconians have cloaks with a decent chance of enchantments and egos. At least one cloak of preservation is likely to drop.

History

Prior to 0.14, racial variant cloaks existed. Also, wearing a cloak meant you had to take it off in order to change body armour; among other things, this meant that wearing a cursed cloak prevented you from taking off your body armour.
