A robe was a long garment that was usually made of cloth. Many spellcasters and scholars, such as wizards, wore robes that were enchanted with magical powers.[2]
Description[]
Robes usually started at shoulder height, and ended close to the ankles. New, standard robes cost around 1 gp, and weighed 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms).[1] Extremely rare and enchanted robes could cost several tens of thousands of gold pieces.[3]
Zakharan robes were known as caftans while aba[4] or jellaba were robes worn over them to protect from the elements, the latter being of heavier weight worn during cold nights.[5]
Powers[]
Robes could be enchanted with a myriad of different powers, from protecting the owner,[6] to seeing invisible beings.[7]
Notable Groups That Used Robes[]
- The Masked Lords of Waterdeep covered most of their body with robes, whilst their faces were covered with masks, to retain anonymity.[8]
- The Red Wizards of Thay wore characteristic red robes, which were sometimes lined with black material.[9]
