Steadying Robe

This robe is made of a thick blue-gray cloth, with silver lining around the hem, the cuffs, and the hood. It is clearly of fine manufacture, and though plain, would not seem out of place at a courtly function. Although the robe is perfectly comfortable to wear, anyone running a hand over it notices an unusual stiffness, as though the cloth were somehow held erect by an interior framework.

A steadying robe negates the unsteadying effect of vigorous, violent, or extremely violent motion on your spellcasting (see the Concentration skill). You need not make a Concentration check to successfully cast a spell in such a situation.

A steadying robe’s benefit doesn’t apply in any other situations, such as when you take damage or are entangled, grappling, or distracted by weather.

The robe also grants you a +2 competence bonus on Balance checks.

A steadying robe functions only for spellcasters.
