Defaults: DX-5, Net-4, or Shield (any)-4.
This is the skill of using a cloak or a cape as a weapon. It covers the use of two types of cloak: the waist-length "light cloak" (any cloak, cape, or coat weighing less than 5 lbs.) and the fulllength "heavy cloak" (any cloak weighing 5 lbs. or more).
Offensively, you can use a cloak to entangle an opponent – see Special Melee Weapon Rules for details. You can also snap a cloak in your opponent's face or simply use it to block his vision, either of which counts as a Feint maneuver.
