New in SLASH'EM, a robe of weakness is not a desirable item to wear. It sets your strength to 3. Its effect will cancel if combined with gauntlets of power. Like all robes in SLASH'EM, it is body armor, provides no MC, and has a randomized appearance.

Strategy

Unfortunately, it is not possible to distinguish these robes from robes of power or protection through price identification. Moreover, these robes are usually generated cursed, so trying on random base-cost 50 robes is not a good idea. In general, one should use an altar to identify cursed robes, to avoid these; 3 strength is a major handicap.
