Pact of the Cloak
Your patron gives you cloak, a sheet of patternless cloth, woven
with shadow and magic, warn over the shoulders that can
range from floor-length and to mid-back in length. You decide if
it has a hood and can change the size, texture, color of your
cloak when you finish a long rest.
When attempting to Hide, you do not need to break line-of-
sight to perform your Hide action.
Additionally, a number of times per long rest equal to your
proficiency bonus, when you take the Hide action, you may
become invisible. Your invisibility ends when you cast a spell,
make an attack, or at the start of your next turn.
If you lose the cloak, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to
receive a replacement from your patron. This ceremony can be
performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the
previous cloak. The cloak turns into mundane threads that
unweave and blow away when you die.
