AC Bonus: 1
Arrow Deflection DC: 35
Shield Bash Damage: N/A
A cloak, cape, long coat, or similar article of clothing may be used in a pinch as a sort of shield. As normal, it requires the use of a hand to manipulate it, and essentially functions as a normal shield. Shield Checks made for arrow deflection represent the cloak snagging arrows out of the air.
The AC bonus, however, only applies agains weapons that can be finessed.
You cannot Shield Bash with a cloak.
Unlike most shields, there are feats and abilities which improve both the AC bonus granted and the DC for arrow deflection.
For HP, Hardness, and Craft DCs, please see Cloak, or other items that can be used in this way, such as Cape.
