Desirability
Quite useful for stabbers, but some characters may wish to use something without the -3 to damage. That being said, being able to generate clouds of smoke on demand is occasionally crucial for escaping dangerous ranged opponents, particularly if you're a fast character. Whether this benefit outweighs the usefulness of a a cloak of preservation is up to you.
History
- Prior to 0.12, this cloak provided small bonuses to EV and dexterity, as well as evocable invisibility and levitation, but lacked the fog effect.
- Prior to 0.10, the -3 damage slaying penalty was much more severe, as slaying bonuses and penalties were multiplied by your skills.
