03-08-07, 04:12 PM What slot it will occupying?
Shield slot or armor slot???

03-08-07, 04:33 PM Armor and Shields are both slot-less things. There is however a Robe slot.

But this item does not fill any slot, it is an unslotted item.

It is basically a piece of armor that provides a shield bonus to AC.

Armor isn't slotless. It takes up the armor/robe slot, according to the DMG.

You cannot have both a duelling cloak and armor if they both take up the armor slot. However, the name would seem to imply that it takes up the cloak slot.

i would allow that in my game since they take up different slots one for armor/robe and one for the cloak
