Cloak of the Decomposer

Wondrous item (cloak), uncommon (requires attunement by a circle of spores druid)
This cloak has living fungus growing on it--mushrooms, mildews, molds, and others. The mushrooms seem to replenish at a quickened rate if removed, though the mushrooms do not last long when removed from the cloak, instead turning to dust and spores. This natural collection of fungus makes hiding in natural surroundings much easier.
Wisdom (Perception) checks to see you in natural settings have disadvantage (or -5 to Passive Perception). Also, once per Long Rest as a Ritual, you may summon a Myconid Sprout from one of the mushrooms growing on the cloak. The Sprout acts as a familiar as described in the wizard spell, Find Familiar. Only one Myconid Sprout may be active at a time.

Distress Spores. When the myconid takes damage, all other myconids within 240 feet of it can sense its pain.

Sun Sickness. While in sunlight, the myconid has disadvantage on ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws. The myconid dies if it spends more than 1 hour in direct sunlight.

Actions

Fist. Melee Weapon Attack: +1 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1 (1d4- 1) bludgeoning damage plus 2 (1d4) poison damage.

Rapport Spores (3/Day). A 10-foot radius of spores extends from the myconid. These spores can go around corners and affect only creatures with an Intelligence of 2 or higher that aren’t undead, constructs, or elementals. Affected creatures can communicate telepathically with one another while they are within 30 feet of each other. The effect lasts for 1 hour.

History

Illevaere had dreams of a cave in the forest and they went to investigate them. Following their dream, they were led out into the forest where they found the cave from their dreams. Entering it, they found a patch of rot and mushrooms. But, after further examination, they discovered that it was a cloak covered in living mushrooms and fungus wrapped around a dead body of someone who seemed to have been poisoned. Illevaere took this as a sign from their goddess, Caena, and has turned the cave into a shrine to the goddess of poisons.

Significance

The cloak is considered by Illevaere to be a gift from Caena, believing that they were directed by the goddess to find the cloak and they made an altar to Caena at the sight where the cloak was found.

The Cloak of the Decomposer was transformed into the Empowered Cloak of the Decomposer.
