Robe of Goodman Hayes

The Robe of Goodman Hayes is a reward for completing Neera's Hidden Refuge. It provides permanent Chaos Shield on wearer in return for -1 penalty to Armor Class.

Description
"This robe was fashioned for Hayes, the traitorous husband of Telana, soon after he discovered his talents as a wild mage. Very wealthy at the time, Hayes commissioned Halruaan wizards to craft it with silk, expensive dyes, and enchantments that could complement his unique talents.

Unfortunately, he wore it only twice: Its richness and clearly magical nature attracted of the Red Wizards who soon pursued him. He gave up using magic unless it was absolutely necessary, hid his robe away, and started wearing a simple tunic. His wife salvaged the robe and passed it on to Gorion's ward."

Gameplay
While it can be good for Neera or Gorion's ward if he is a wild mage, it's been outshined by other robes such as Robe of Vecna.
