Cinder Shawl (Patreon)

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)

An ashen cloak dirtied with the soot of a fireplace, concealing an embroidered image of a burning tree. While wearing this cloak, you have advantage on Stealth checks made while in dim light or darkness and have resistance to fire damage. 

Till Midnight. As an action you can have this item transform into a resplendent outfit for up to 6 hours, the appearance of which you decide. While in this form, it grants you no advantage to Stealth checks, granting you disadvantage on all Stealth checks instead. When the duration ends, this clothing turns back into its ragged form and cannot transform again until the next dawn. While transformed, this item gains the following benefits:

• You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or having your mind read. If you succeed on such a saving throw, you may have the creature that caused the saving throw take 1d8 psychic damage. 

• When you make a Charisma (Performance) check or Charisma (Persuasion) check, you can choose to make your roll with advantage. Each time you do so, an hour of the remaining time is used up. 

• When a creature makes an attack against you, you can use your reaction to charmingly dissuade the attacker. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw where the DC is equal to 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a failed save, until the start of its next turn the target has disadvantage on all attacks it makes against you and disadvantage on any saving throw against spells you cast. Each time you use this property an hour of the remaining time is used up.

All remember the glamorous tale of the glass slipper and what came after, but just as many forget the significance of the dress. The gorgeous gown which commanded attention with incomprehensible allure, born of naught but scraps of ashen clothes and a kiss of magic. Always remember; no matter how downtrodden and shabby, there is always beauty to be found beneath.
