Fiend's Embrace

This dark red cloak bears a lighter umber-colored lining. It is thick and scaly and radiates a strong aura of evil. Its metal clasp is shaped like a six-fingered hand.
While this cloak is worn it provides the fallowing benefits:

• +1 bonus to all saving throws
• +4 bonus to Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (up to a maximum of 24) depending on what the user's base spell-casting score is, or if the wearer isn't a spell-caster, then the highest of the 3 stats gains the bonus.
• Fire resistance and a DR to fire of 10 (example of DR. if the wearer takes 44 fire damage from a fire breath attack. The damage is halved from resist fire to 22. Then -10 from the DR to fire, makin the total damage 12 fire damage.)

Cursed Item

Fiend's Embrace is so tainted with evil that it bestows one negative level on any good creature attempting to attune or wear it. The negative level remains as long as the cloak is worn and disappears whenever it is removed. Worse, Fiend's Embrace retains a small sliver of intelligence from the pit fiend it was harvested from. The cloak has an Intelligence of 13, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 13. It communicates via empathy, and has a 60-ft vision and hearing. The cloak is chaotic evil, and has an ego of 7. The transformation to magic cloak perverted this shard of intelligence, and now the cloak wants little more than to serve the one it was created for - the witch queen Iggwilv. Fiend's Embrace won't rest until it is draped comfortably over its mistress' shapely shoulders once again; until then, it tries to influence its current owner into tracked down Iggwilv, wherever she may be, so she can reclaim her cloak. This influence is subtle. If Fiend's Embrace ever wins a personality conflict with its possessor, it allows its owner to retain control of his actions for the most part but infuses him with an obsession with Iggwilv, forcing him to discover her current location (which is left to the GM to determine).
