Shadowskin (3.5e Equipment)

= Shadowskin =

Summary::Woven from threads of quasireality torn from the Plane of Shadow, shadowskin is an expensive fabric highly valued by those who stalk in the darkness. Shadowskin shimmers and seems to flow and vibrate as if made of thousands of tiny tentacles with fuzzy edges, slightly translucent, and always dark and non-reflective no matter the lighting conditions. Any non-metal clothing or armor can be made of shadowskin, and those who wear it gain the ability to Hide in Plain Sight as a Shadowdancer or Assassin. Shadowskin clothing and armor costs 9000g.

Certain cloth or leather items, such as backpacks and pouches, may also be made of shadowskin for 500g per pound (minimum 500g). Such a item gains +4 to sleight of hand checks to conceal it.

Shadowskin has 5 hit points per inch of thickness, hardness zero, and a 20% miss chance on any attacks directly targeting it. This miss chance only applies to attacks on the item and not anyone wearing the item.
