An orcish cloak is a type of cloak that appears in NetHack. It is made of cloth, and appears as a coarse mantelet when unidentified.
Contents
Generation
Uruk-hai have a 1⁄3 chance of generating with an orcish cloak;[1] orc-captains have a 1⁄2 chance to be generated with Uruk-hai armor, giving them an effective 1⁄6 chance of generating with the cloak.[2]
Description
When worn, an orcish cloak provides no base AC before enchantment, but confers MC1.
Strategy
While most cloaks (minus the dwarvish cloak) are generally better than orcish cloaks, an orcish cloak is sufficient enough to protect body armor from erosion until a proper one is found. If you test unknown scrolls by reading them, an orcish cloak can be useful as a throwaway cloak to catch the scroll of destroy armor, after which you can put your regular cloak back on.
History
The orcish cloak first appears in NetHack 3.0.0. From this version to NetHack 3.4.3, including variants based on these versions, a worn orcish cloak grants MC2.
Variants
Variants based on NetHack 3.4.3 may retain the orcish cloak's MC2 when worn.
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, the orcish cloak grants MC2 when worn as in NetHack 3.4.3. An orcish cloak can be upgraded into either an oilskin cloak or an elven cloak, with an equal chance for each item.
dNetHack
In dNetHack, the Mantle of Wrath is an artifact orcish cloak.
EvilHack
In EvilHack, goblin outriders, goblin-captains and various orcish mercenaries have a 1⁄3 chance of generating with an orcish cloak.
