These lightweight black robes are covered in a silvery spiderweb tracery. The clasp at the neck is a silver brooch shaped like a spider with amethyst eyes.

Thus far, the only known vestments of ebonsilk have been found in the possession of drow clerics. If you are chaotic evil, neutral evil, or chaotic neutral, wearing these vestments grants you a +2 resistance bonus on saving throws.

Relic Power: If you have established the proper divine connection, the vestments also grant you a continual spider climb effect.
To use the relic power, you must worship Lolth and either sacrifice a 4th-level divine spell slot or have the True Believer feat and at least 7 HD. If you sacrifice a 7th-level spell slot or have at least 13 HD and the True Believer feat, you also gain a continual freedom of movement effect.

Lore: Said to be woven from silk extruded by Lolth herself, vestments of ebonsilk are occasionally awarded to undeserving followers of Lolth as a test to see how quickly her favored clerics can appropriate them (Knowledge [religion] DC 20).


Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Sanctify Relic, freedom of movement, spider climb.
Cost to Create: 2,500 gp, 200 XP, 5 days.
