Cloak of the Dark Tapestry

[Chaosthecold]

Hi, I did a search of the messageboards about this item and an answer to my question did not turn up.

The item in question is the 'Cloak of the Dark Tapestry' from Pg. 55 of Gods and Magic

Cloak of the Dark Tapestry:

This dark hooded cloak is decorated with embroidered comets, moons, and stars along its edge. If you sleep while wearing the cloak, it protects you from hot or cold environments like an endure elements spell, and you may sleep in medium armor without becoming fatigued. You may use know direction once per day. If Desna is your patron, as a standard action you can cause additional stars and celestial bodies to appear on the cloak, matching the current configuration in the sky. You may use longstrider once per day. Once per day, you may throw a tiny, white-burning meteor that has the effect of a flare. Some priests of Desna claim to have cloaks of this type that also
allow them to dimension door once per day when under a starry night sky.

I hope with a pricetag of 2,500 bucks that this cloak unless specifically stated on a chronicle sheet DOES NOT come with the Dimension Door ability. There is nothing on it in the 'Additional Resources' except that it's allowed.

The question is, do all purchased cloaks have the dimension door ability?

Here is the item on PFSRD. It clearly states what the item does. I'm not entirely sure what you are asking, but that link should clear it up, I think.

Yes thats what the link to the PFSRD says, but thats not what it says in the book. What I have copied is straight from the book. That line,

'Some priests of Desna claim to have cloaks of this type that also allow them to dimension door once per day when under a starry night sky.'

This was a PFS specific question. I don't know why they moved it to the rules question. It does not belong here.

They already have a cloak that lets you d-door once per day, and that costs 10k. This lets you use two other abilities also. The small restriction on being under a night sky is not enough for a 7500 gp discount..

Obviously in a regular game it's going to be up to the GM if the one a player gets has the dimension door ability. In PFS though, there needs to be some kind of notation either on a chronicle as (Cloak of the Dark Tapestry w/Dimension door or something of the sort) or just make the blanket bad call that all of the cloaks have the Dimension door ability.

@Chaosthecold: Since it says "Some" not all, it is not going to be available as an option for PFS, even with all the restrictions that it would be operating under:
Not all of them do it. (And since there is no probability number given, that becomes GM option land)
You must be a priest of Desna.
Only on a clear night, outdoors.

Take it as, for PFS, that that line is pure flavor. For a home game, your GM might give the ability, but it would be severely restricted, even there.

Now, for PFS, there would be a rare possibility that such a cloak with the Dim Door ability would be offered on a Chronicle as a special item, but it would probably cost the 2,500 gp PLUS a TBD amount of PP to purchase.

Probably be handled much like a certain item that can be bought purel;y for gold, as the basic item, or, with the addition of 10 PP, you can get it as an intelligent item.

So, the chronicle offers the basic Cloak of the Dark Tapestry for normal price, and, as an option, with the additional cost of X PP, with the D-Door ability; but still subject to all the restrictions I listed above.

And, to be honest, not many PFS PCs are going to qualify under the Priest of Desna limitation. I have 15 PFS PCs, several of them worship Desna, but I only have one which both worships Desna and has any levels of a divine class where it might qualify him as a "priest" of Desna.
