 * Shadow Cloak
 * Mystic Robe
 * Wizard Robe
 * Assassin Gear

Cloth Armor
Cloth Armor is the standard for Minstrels and Buskers, as it focuses on boosting stats such as Talent and Luck.

Some notable examples of Cloth Armor are:
 * Gambeson
 * Pirate Coat
 * Performer's Vest
 * Dream Coat
 * Jester Outfit

Most characters will wear some form of Light Armor at one point in time or another during a campaign, and even standard Leather Armor, Soldier Armor, or Dragonhide Armor can be preferable if nothing else is available.

Typical Light Armor variants include:
 * Magic Leather Armor
 * Goblin Vest
