{{flavour|A large, loose-fitting, wide-sleeved outer garment made of light cloth. It offers little protection against physical harm, but does not hinder evasion or spellcasting.

"CLEOPATRA: Give me my robe; put on my crown; I have<br>Immortal longings in me"

-William Shakespeare, _Anthony & Cleopatra_, V, ii, ca. 1605.}}

'''Robes''' are the lightest and least protective body armour in the game. Many classes, including most spellcasters, start with one. They are one of the [[animal skin|few]] [[troll leather armour|body]] [[dragon scales|armours]] that [[Spriggan]]s, [[Oni]], and [[Troll]]s can wear.

==Egos==
*[[Fire resistance]]
*[[Cold resistance]]
*[[Willpower]]
*[[Resistance (ego)|Resistance]]

Also, [[randart]] robes can generate with the [[Archmagi]] ego.

==Desirability==
A robe is passible for any character whose primary means of defense is going to be their [[EV]]. But for many such characters, superior alternatives exist. [[Steam dragon scales]] are just as light, but provides better armour. [[Leather armour]], [[troll leather armour]], and other light dragon scales all provide greater AC for a relatively small encumbrance. However, there are a number of reasons you might wear a robe:
*Many [[background]]s start with them, before you have a chance to find other armour.
**Species that can't fit into standard kinds of armour will likely be stuck with a robe for a while.
**A +1 robe is better than a +0 leather armour.
*Robes can spawn with good [[ego]]s. A robe of resistance is a very convenient way to gain resistances, particularly for slot-restricted races who otherwise have trouble getting them.
