Does this cloak have a use???? (spoiler)
~ - - - - - -- - - - -- - - - - - - - Gurke's Cloak in the Juggler Inn in Beregost Non- Detection Cloak It says it is so true seeing gems and the like don't work, but is there ever a time in Baldur's Gate/TSC that it becomes useful? I always give it to my theif anyway but it seems pointless. When your thief goes into stealth, enemy mages don't cast Detect Invisibility, and there are no true seeing gems, so is it just for looks? Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I think it might change some factors involving stealth/hiding in shadows that we don't see.

Yes, I've never found a use for it either, besides experience and gold. If you are poor, sell it. If you are rich, Id wear it anyway just in case Lord is right. Better safe then sorry!

Well, I started my solo thief of with the minimum in stealth and never raised untill a good while after the cloak, and I got good results out of it. Without the cloak I could nigh never hide in the Shadows and now I'm making backstab attacks all the time...

Non-Detection will shield a character in Stealth (NOT Invisibility) against such spells as Detect Illusions--instead of revealing the character, the Divination spell will only cancel out the Non-Detection spell. This does not really protect against the spells of True Sight and True Seeing, however, since because the first "wave" of the spell cancels your Non-Detection, the second wave will make you visible. Therefore, only ITEMS that confer permanent Non-Detection are of any real use.
However, all of this is a rather moot point in this forum, because NONE of the spellcasters in BG1 use any type of Divination spells anyway (unless, perhaps, when using BGT or BGtutu), so the Cloak is completely and utterly worthless in BG1.

Power players note to himself: Need to sell that cloak and buy some better stuff
 BTW: Does anyone know if the same goes for the DSotSC MOD? [img]graemlins/greenbounce.gif[/img] Insane
