Generation
Master mind flayers have a 1⁄10 chance of generating with a robe of power.[1] Aligned priests, high priests, the Arch Priest, and player monster priests may also generate with a robe of power.[2][3]
Description
While worn, the robe of power confers 1 base AC and lowers spellcasting failure rates.
Strategy
While it does not boost spellcasting success to the same rate as a robe does in vanilla NetHack, the robe of power is still quite desirable for Monks seeking out body armor.
Encyclopedia entry
Robes are the only garments, apart from Shirts, ever to have sleeves. They have three uses:
1. As the official uniform of Priests, Priestesses, Monks, Nuns (see Nunnery), and Wizards. The OMT [ Official Management Term ] prescribed for the Robes of Priests and Nuns is that they _fall in severe folds_; of Priestesses that they _float_; and of Wizards that they _swirl_. You can thus see who you are dealing with.
2. For Kings. The OMT here is _falling in stately folds_.
3. As the garb of Desert Nomads. [...]
