An oilskin cloak is a type of cloak that appears in NetHack. It is made of cloth, and appears as a slippery cloak when unidentified.
Contents
Generation
Oilskin cloaks make up 0.8% of randomly generated cloaks.
Description
When worn, an oilskin cloak grants 1 base AC and MC2, and functions as a permanently greased cloak. A non-cursed oilskin cloak protects its wearer from all grabbing attacks, including the drowning attacks commonly associated with sea monsters[1][2] - metal body armor worn underneath it is also protected from water damage.[3][4] A cursed oilskin cloak will only stop grabbing and protect armor 2⁄3 of the time.
Buying or selling an oilskin cloak in a shop will auto-identify the cloak.
Strategy
The oilskin cloak provides excellent protection against drowning threats, and may even be a suitable ascension kit candidate or at least a safe secondary cloak if critical properties such as magic resistance and/or reflection are reliably covered by other slots (e.g., gray dragon scale mail paired with an amulet or shield of reflection). For those using other cloaks, there are many other methods of mitigating or nullifying the threat of drowning and the like, and a greased cloak is typically sufficient.
History
The oilskin cloak first appears in NetHack 3.1.0. From this version to NetHack 3.1.3, it has a randomized appearance when unidentified like other cloaks; NetHack 3.2.0 gives the cloak its current unidentified appearance.
From NetHack 3.1.0 to NetHack 3.4.3, including some variants based on these versions, the oilskin cloak grants MC3.
Messages
- The slippery cloak fits very tightly.
- You put on an unidentified oilskin cloak.
Variants
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, the oilskin cloak grants MC3 while worn.
The chest at the end of the southwest secret passage behind the throne room of Grund's Stronghold has a 1⁄3 chance of containing an oilskin cloak.
Upgrading a cloak of protection, cloak of invisibility, cloak of magic resistance, cloak of displacement, dwarvish cloak or orcish cloak has a 1⁄2 chance of producing an oilskin cloak; upgrading an oilskin cloak can produce a cloak of protection, cloak of invisibility, cloak of magic resistance, or cloak of displacement with an equal probability of each.
dNethack
In dNetHack, an oilskin cloak grants 1 AC, 0 DR and MC3 when worn, and protects the entire inventory from water damage as opposed to just worn body armor, with the same rates depending on beatitude.
The Cloak of the Unheld One is a neutral and intelligent artifact oilskin cloak. While carried, it grants sleep resistance, and while worn it also grants magic resistance and free action in addition to its usual properties; it can be safely enchanted to +7. Invoking The Cloak of the Unheld One while wearing it causes you to teleport: if you are not wearing it at the time, it will teleport itself instead. If invoked on a no-teleport level, it will attempt to warp you to the level above, and will warp you one level below otherwise.
FIQHack
In FIQHack, oilskin cloaks protect the entire inventory from water damage.
SlashTHEM
In SlashTHEM, in addition to SLASH'EM details, Divers start the game with a +1 oilskin cloak, and Pirates and Corsairs start the game with the oilskin cloak's appearance identified. Player monster divers also generate with oilskin cloaks.
Hack'EM
In Hack'EM, the chest at the end of the southwest secret passage behind the throne room of Grund's Stronghold has the same 1⁄3 chance of containing an oilskin cloak. Oilskin cloaks cannot be upgraded or produced by upgrading.
