This pdf is 17 pages long with nine pages of content.

This starts off by informing the reader that there are three types of robes beyond the standard: cursed, greater, and lesser. Cursed are only found about 5% of the time, but can really mess with the character wearing it by taking longer than usual to produce an item, or giving that person a completely random item that they were looking for. Greater regenerate lost patches after 2d4 days so long as at least one patch hasn't been torn. Lesser have half the normal items and half the patches, but are half the cost.

The next page gives the reader two charts: random potions & oils, and scrolls (arcane and divine). These are for those patches that specify that a minor scroll or potion is available, but not what they are. All of these are at the lowest caster level, and the scrolls are defined A or D for arcane and divine.

If you've read the description, you know that the robes in this supplement include: the Robe of Battle, Robe of Delving, Robe of Exploration, Robe of Faith, Robe of the Sea, and the Robe of Thievery. These are in addition to the core Robe of Useful Items. Each of these have their own specific items that come with it, and even changes the staple items that they start with. For example, the Robe of Battle has two heavy mace and potions of stabilize, and you can randomly pull a riding horse or a ballista with 10 bolts. The Robe of Delving has the normal standard items, but you could randomly pull out 400 gold & 1000 silver or a mule with saddle bags. The Robe of Exploration has a bedroll and an explorer's outfit amongst its standard items, and you could pull out a cart and pony or massive tree (40 ft high).

Probably the least impressive, which unfortunately was also the one I was hoping to blow me away, was the Robe of Faith. It gives you a sunrod AND a bullseye latern. Seems unnecessary. For random items on the patches, you could get 4 vials of holy water or only 2 vials of holy water. Why? Couldn't they both have 4 vials? The vial of ink with parchment and ink pen seems out of place too. Maybe specifically to write spell scrolls on the fly? I'll admit that I was expecting silver holy symbols for its price. About 1/3 of it would have worked great for a wizard though. A Robe of Arcana maybe? I don't know. Just seemed extremely "meh" to me. Especially when you compare it to the Robe of Thievery. That had influences of classic 80's Total Recall on it. Loved it.

About the only thing that I felt was really missing was a tutorial on how to make your own, and help you balance it. I'd love to be able to take that and design a specific one for each of the playable classes, like the cavalier, inquisitor, ranger, and maybe even the bard. Come on, a different masterwork instrument in like four of the patches would be great.

Overall, it's good for its price. I would recommend it.

This was a nicely written item I found it to have a nice set of pages set up for quick use. It used a page for each of the various forms that the choose to make the robe take, this allows you to print off a page and hand it to the player or attach it to the NPC that has the robe in question. makes it very easy to keep track of what is on the robe and they pages also provide the stats for any creatures that it may create from it. That also speeds up things later on when the player pulls one out of their hat.

Robes (10 pages) First we get three variant robes. Cursed, Greater, and Lesser versions, which can be applied to the original or any of the new robes. Next we get two new tables for potions/oils and scrolls. Following this we get to the new robes as follows. Robe of Battle – items such as horse, weapons, siege engines, tents, fire, potions etc. Really to me it seemed a better name would have been a Robe of War as it seems the items fit more with fighting a war than just a battle. Robe of Delving – dungeon exploring items, rope, rations, mule, door ram, sack, torch, etc. Robe of Exploration – items for wilderness survival like tents, spyglass, mule, rations, bedroll, etc Robe of Faith – holy items, mace, alter, mace etc. Things a cleric would find handy. Robe of the Sea – One for ship travel, dolphin, raft, sail, spyglass, etc. Robe of Thievery – items that one would find helpful to steal stuff. To wide a range of items to list. Robe of Useful Items – reprint of the item from PFRPG core rule book.

It ends with a page on how to read the stat blocks etc. It also has full stat blocks for any creature pulled out of the robes.

It ends with a ads and back cover. (2 pages)

Closing thoughts. The artwork is black and white and ranges from fair to pretty good. I didn't notice any obvious editing errors. Layout was pretty good. There is a bit of overlap between the robes, as far as what they can pull out of them. The themes made sense. I would have liked to have seen a bit more variety in the items that could be pulled out of them though. All and all they are pretty good with new takes on the base robe to add a bit more variety. So what's my rating? The robes where pretty good but they didn't wow me either. For the cheap price I am going to give this a 4 star. If you like the Robe of Useful items this is worth picking up for some new takes on it.

Trust me, I'm a Succubus.
