This slick-looking black vest is made of supple, well-worked leather. Its buttons are carved of dull black glass and seem to absorb light rather than reflect it.

While wearing this vest, you gain a +2 competence bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks, and a +2 competence bonus on Reflex saves. In addition, if you have the skirmish, sneak attack, or sudden strike ability, you deal an extra 1d6 points of damage when making such an attack.

Lore: A halfl ing arcane trickster named Lena Wanderingeye created the first rogue’s vest. She wore it for many years before she retired from adventuring and joined a caravan. She eventually passed the secret of its creation on to the arcane spellcasters in the caravan (Knowledge [arcana or history] DC 20).

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, cat’s grace, invisibility, true strike.
Cost to Create: 9,000 gp, 720 XP, 18 days.
