A robe is a special kind of cloak that increases the success rate of spellcasting, even when wearing metallic armor. It also provides MC3.
Effect
Each role has a specific penalty for wearing metal body armor, which is added to the difficulty level of each spell cast. Wearing a robe will reduce this penalty by half.[1]. If you do not wear metallic body armor, the robe will instead decrease the spell difficulty by your role's penalty amount.[2]
A robe will not affect the penalty for wearing a shield, or for metallic gloves, helmets, or boots.
Obtaining
Aligned priests (and high priests) each have a 6/7 chance of being generated with a robe, which you can then obtain by killing the priest.[3] If you have a sufficiently strong pet, or are willing to accept the murder penalties yourself, this can be a good way to obtain a robe without wishing or polypiling for it.
