This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

In a setting where such things are actually possible, someone creates a cloak of an enchanted material which is tangible to everyone, but entirely transparent to anyone lacking sufficient intellectual power and personal capability (in Exalted, Int 3+ and at least one Ability rated 3+. In d20, Int 13 and at least a +5 rating in at least two skills. In other systems, similar requirements would apply). The weaver of the cloak then presents it to a person of high standing, such a duke or a king. What use might the recipient find for such a gift?

- you dress a beautiful girl/male/shapeshifter who senses sexual preferences of a target person in such a clothing
- you make her/him/it serve drinks while you interview a person for some specific position
- if this person converses with you like nothing's happening, you have a new employee - whether it's intelligence or the ability to keep cool, it's a fine addition to your organization

Will that do?
