Relair's Mistake

Relair's Mistake, also known as the Cloak of the Wolf, is a magical cloak in the first opus of Baldur's Gate.
==Description==
==Gameplay==
Relair's Mistake gives its wearer the ability to turn into a wolf at will for a duration of 20 rounds (120 seconds).
===Enhanced Edition===
In Enhanced Edition, turning back to natural form is possible before the duration ends, as the cape gives an innate ability to do so upon shapeshifting into a wolf. 
While transformed, the form provides the following benefits:
* STR 18 (plus whatever exceptional STR score the character has, if any)
* DEX 17
* At least AC 7 with the DEX bonus (Base AC 10 before any bonuses)
* At least 1d8 +2 piercing damage with the STR bonus (Base 1d8 piercing damage before any bonuses)
* Weapon enhancement level is +1
* APR 2
* Special: 
*# Offhand weapons/shield may be used as normal.
*# If using a shield, the character will benefit from Sword and Shield Style, otherwise they'll benefit from Single Weapon Style (even if an offhand weapon is equipped, so no Two Weapon Style penalties apply).
*# This is the only shapeshift/polymorph form in BGEE that allows one to reequip their armor (eg a suit of Full Plate Mail) to set the character's base AC after transforming to the value provided by the armor.
*# 100% spell failure chance when casting either wizard or priest spells.
*Because it allows the wearer to return to their natural form early, this item is handy for Wild Mages that have been polymorphed during a Wild Surge, or characters polymorphed by a Wand of Polymorphing or Polymorph Other spell.
*Unlike Druid Shapeshifting ALL equipment bonuses other than main hand weapon are applied to the wolf form, even base AC from armor and bonus AC from shield.
*Both Strength and Dexterity are set to new values even if they were originally higher. Exceptional Strength percentage - if any - will not be changed, however.
*The base 2 attacks given during transformation stack with warriors' and monks' extra attacks from levels.
*It is possible to dual wield while in wolf form. Off-hand attack is then made with equipped weapon (not a wolf paw). Proficiency and enchantments apply as usual but dual wield penalty does not.
===Original edition===
In the original edition, no innate ability is granted to turn back to natural form before the 20-round duration ends.
While transformed, spell-casting and speech are disabled, Strength is set to 18 and Dexterity to 17, the shapeshifted character deals 1d8 + 2 piercing melee damage with a THAC0 modifier of -1 and attacks twice per round at a speed factor of 3.
==Acquisition==
