Tunic of Blindeye is a robe (or rather a tunic), without any armor class or saving throw bonuses. Instead it increases movement rate by 2, provides +25% magic damage resistance and allows the user to cast Wildzone, an ability that creates a 15' radius area (duration: 10 rounds) where any creature must save vs spell every round or have their spells cause Wild Surges for the next 7 seconds (ie a full round + 1 second).

The Wildzone ability is considered nonmagical, therefore, it bypasses magic resistance and its effects can't be dispelled. Plus, despite the fact most Conjurers can't wear this item, it is considered a Conjuration, so a Conjurer dualed to Thief who wears this tunic via Use Any Item inflicts a penalty of 2 to saves against it.

Description

Wild mage Nareth Blindeye was a wealthy scholar in the city of Baldur's Gate. Hearing rumors from across the country of Thayan Red Wizards abducting wild mages, Nareth concluded it would be best to face his enemies on his own terms. Before fleeing the city, he infused his travel clothes with strong wild magic. Though it would affect everyone in a given combat, he was more experienced controlling wild surges than his enemies. While effective, the tunic did not save Nareth from capture by the Order of Eight Staves. His current whereabouts are unknown.
