Seriously, though, it reminds me of something out of a "catalog" they put out, for 2nd Edition. *Neat little gizmos and stuff, but I can't remember what it was called. *I think it had something like this, except piecemeal. *You could get shoes that added 2% to your Hide in Shadows score, a body suit that added +5%, or something. *Even had facepaint, and weaponblack. * *

Not near as detailed as this, though. *Well done, as always.
You are thinking of Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue, an outlet of which can be found in Baldur's Gate II at the Adventurer's Mart. A very useful and entertaining little tome, but like a lot of 2.0 material tended to contradict itself from time to time. There was a particularly entertaining section devoted to Armour that served no useful purpose except to adorn buxom women on the front of Heavy Metal or else any number of TSR products with covers that displayed young ladies wearing poorly designed armour.

I like VT's intentions here; the only problem I forsee is every Thief *cough* Rogue and his mother wearing one...
