[Chance] Item - Robe of the Golden Hoard
🕑 Added 2023-04-10 14:03:00 +0000 UTCGouldraphe, the Curator of the Golden Hoard casino, is never seen without her most prized possession: a robe of flowing molten gold equally iconic and functional. Its gilded fabric seems to catch every shining light of the Golden Hoard casino; its deep pockets seems to produce the endless coins Gouldraphe tosses to her patrons. Every passing day invites a compounding challenge to relieve her of her riches.

Robe of the Golden Hoard
Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement)
Private Vault. This robe contains an extradimensional space accessible via its sleeves, interior pockets, or folds. You can only store objects of a type you consider most to be wealth. For many, that category is currency (coins, gems, and bills), though the GM may allow alternative forms of wealth such as knowledge (books, scrolls, and records) or survival (food, water, and raw materials). The extradimensional space can hold up to 2,000 pounds of material not exceeding a volume of 100 cubic feet. The robe always weighs 5 pounds regardless of its contents. Objects you store in the robe must fit through a 2-foot diameter opening. Only you can store or retrieve an item from the robe, which requires an action. When you end your attunement to the robe, its contents spill forth unharmed.
Aspect of Gouldraphe. Golden sparkles hover around you while you wear this magical robe, which grants you the following benefits:
- You have resistance to fire damage.
- You are proficient with Intimidation or Persuasion (your choice when you first attune to this robe).
- You can use an action to learn the direction toward the wealthiest creature within 60 feet of you, that wealth as defined by the contents of your robe. You can't use this action again until the next dawn.
Spellcasting. While you wear this robe, you can use an action to cast the following spells from the cloak without expending material components: burning hands (spell cast at 3rd-level), heat metal, locate object. If a spell requires a saving throw, its DC is 19. Once a spell is cast, that spell can't be cast again until the next dawn.

DESIGN COMMENTARY
This item is one of two legendaries, one for the casino and one for the fair. The idea of a gold dragon running a casino as her hoard is not unique, but fun enough to play with. Gouldraphe is a hoarder, greedy, and effectively stores a personal hoard within her person at all times. That's also why the robe has fire resistance and magic. What I'd love to see in game is the player negotiating with the DM to determine what their idea of "wealth" is, as well as the ability for the wearer to detect the wealthiest person within range.
I had originally intended the robe to visually look like molten or liquid gold, but I wasn't fully able to get the creases and colors to look right. Instead, only the drape bears that language and forms a sort of sneaky dragon's wings.
