I've been hearing about this item, but I can't find it anywhere. Where is it?

hmm... I imagine it's enchanted with either mage hand or gust....

Haven't heard of it myself. Sounds like a bit of a joke item.

The only hits on Google that look remotely relevant are TV Tropes and an archived thread on these very forums (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-57551.html).

I'm inclined to say it was made up in/for that thread (especially looking at the other two items in the post), unless somebody's actually seen it in a book.

I would think that cloaks of charisma do that on their own, wouldn't you?

Perhaps; but I have a theory that Epic characters emit a field of concentrated awesome that causes all loose clothing to billow dramatically (and somewhat fanservice-y in the case of attractive female epic characters :smallbiggrin:), despite prevailing weather conditions.

They're so awesome the air is running away?

No, they're just rather full of hot air.

The Cloak of Billowing was a joke in my group (Along with the Invincible Ring, he he). Though I'm sure I'm nowhere near the first person to come up with it.

Actually my theory was the Awesomite Field (copyrighted term) affects the clothing directly and leaves normal air currents alone (apart from changes caused by the movement of the clothing).

Invincible Ring.
Any relation to the regenerating ring? How about the invisible cloak? Disintegrating rod? Fearless sword?

Gazebo? Head of Vecna?

Oh. The reason I asked is that it was referenced on TV Tropes, under the Dramatic Wind page.
