I've been playing DnD for a long time now but I still dont know what you can put on a vest or vestment. It say's "class ability improvement" but what the hell is a class ability improvement? I was thinking maybe I could boost my characters bab or give more spell slots or if a barbarian gets 1 rage per day maybe i can give it 2 but where is the fomula for this? If anybody can help me please do. :confused:

When in doubt, look at the examples.
Vestments of the Druid = additional wildshape per day, if you can already wildshape.

Vest of escape = +4 to lockpick and +6 to escape artist.

As such, I would think something could be made to give a bonus to skills, or perhaps class specific things like:
Barbarian = an extra rage per day
Bard = extra bardic song per day
Cleric = an extra turning attempt
Monk = an extra stunning attempt
Paladin = an extra smite evil attempt
Ranger/Wizard/sorcerer = extra spell per day of a certian level
Rogue = ???

General use would most likely be a slot to add a bonus to a skill or two. Or pay the extra cost for a non-affinity enchantment in that slot.

The sorceror and bard also get the very valuable vest of resistance, which allows them to wear cloaks of charisma.
