Talk:Relair's Mistake/@comment-92.34.156.168-20190511110728

At least in BG:EE, this aptly named cloak remains the most broken feature of the Baldurs Gate series. In not only one, but two incredibly annoying ways:

1. Upon use, the polymorph animation will continue to trigger everytime you enter a new area or house, change weapons or even randomly at intervals. This bug also isn't limited to whoever bears the cloak. Everyone in your party who has used it will be a randomly exploding mess until you Alt+F4 and restart the game: defeated, disappointed, broken.

2. Perhaps more serious, as it is somewhat game-breaking: if you polymorph while wearing a shield, the AC bonus from wearing a shield will stack every time you polymorph or unpolymorph. This caps out at a neat -23AC in wolf form/ -20AC in natural form after a few easy iterations. The AC bonus only resets upon loading a save, making it sub-permanent. This cloak lets you literally 1v1 Drizzt with both your hands tied behind your back.

Dare I add that Relair's Mistake stands as a roaring testament to the general incompetence of the developing team behind Enhanced Edition, or is that too vitriolic? All I ask for is some tact when meddling with one of the immortal masterpieces of RPG history.
