Cloak of the Bat: Fashioned of dark brown or black cloth, a cloak of this type is not readily
noticeable as unusual. It radiates both enchantment and alteration in equal
proportions. The cloak bestows a 90% probability of being invisible when the wearer
is stationary within a shadowy or dark place. The wearer is also able to hang
upside down from the ceiling, like a bat, and to maintain this same chance of
invisibility.
By holding the edges of the garment, the wearer is able to fly at a speed of
15 (Maneuver Class: B). If he desires, the wearer can actually transform himself
into an ordinary bat--all possessions worn or carried will be part of the
transformation--and fly accordingly. Flying, either with the cloak or as an
ordinary bat, can be accomplished only in darkness (either under the night sky or in a
lightless or near-lightless environment underground). Either of the flying
powers is usable for up to one hour at a time, but after a flight of any duration,
the cloak will not bestow any flying power for a like period of time.
The cloak also provides a +2 bonus to Armor Class. This benefit extends to the
wearer even when he is in bat form.
