Armor1

A sharply cut traveling coat of dark wool, reinforced at the shoulders and lined with practical pockets. Valerius claims it makes the wearer look competent even when they are not.

AC +11
Miscellaneous13

A complete outfit tailored to suggest respectable minor nobility, guild membership, or professional authority. It is convincing rather than lavish.

Advantage on the first Charisma (Persuasion) check made to establish respectable social status in a formal setting, at the DM’s discretion.

A reversible outfit designed to create a carefully chosen first impression. The colors, cut, and accessories change the wearer’s apparent profession without looking like a costume.

The wearer can choose one plausible social identity connected to the outfit, such as courier, minor clerk, or traveling scholar. It grants advantage on one Charisma (Deception) check to support that identity, then loses its special benefit until altered.

A practical wardrobe for adventurers who travel frequently and cannot afford to look disreputable in every settlement. The set is packed into a cedar-lined traveling trunk.

A compact disguise kit assembled for clients who require plausible alterations rather than theatrical masks. Its tools are elegant, clean, and irritatingly expensive.

Functions as a disguise kit. The folio grants a 1 gp discount on future replacement materials purchased at this shop.

A neatly packed repair kit for torn cloaks, split seams, broken straps, and loose buttons. It is far more useful on the road than Valerius would ever admit.

A convincing false beard made from carefully blended horsehair and dyed wool. The available styles range from scholarly forked beards to severe military whiskers.

Grants advantage on one Charisma (Deception) check made to pass as a bearded adult, provided the rest of the disguise is appropriate.

A subtle fragrance intended to suggest education, wealth, and the ability to complain about wine accurately.

For 1 hour after application, the wearer has advantage on one Charisma (Performance or Persuasion) check involving refined manners, provided the scent is appropriate to the setting.

High-quality dyed wool in muted jewel tones. It is a staple material for respectable clothing and sells quickly to traveling tailors, performers, and minor officials.

A coordinated collection of finishing pieces used to transform a plain outfit into a deliberate statement. The walking stick is decorative and not a weapon.

The wearer can change the perceived social tone of a suitable outfit to look official, academic, mercantile, or aristocratic. This grants advantage on one Charisma (Deception) check to appear affiliated with that sphere.

Waxed thread, matching cloth, and tiny buttons selected for field repairs. Each packet is labeled with an insulting note about the original garment’s quality.

Repairs one tear or damaged seam in a nonmagical garment during a short rest.

A concentrated cleaning solution sold to adventurers who return from ruins looking like evidence. It smells faintly of lavender and vinegar.

Removes ordinary dirt, soot, and food stains from cloth. It does not remove magical effects, bloodstains caused by curses, or permanent dyes.

A plain gray cloak whose cut is designed to make the wearer visually unremarkable. Valerius considers this its only respectable quality.

The wearer has advantage on one Dexterity (Stealth) check made to blend into a crowd or conceal the outline of worn equipment, provided lighting and surroundings permit.

A professional tailor’s reference token, sold mostly to spies, couriers, and people who have accidentally acquired someone else’s coat.

The holder can identify whether a garment was made for a specific military, noble, guild, or religious uniform tradition with a successful Intelligence (History) check, made at the DM’s discretion.

Where The Take Sits

Most of the shop’s valuable stock is kept in the rear fitting room and upper storage area, while daily money remains beneath the front counter. The shop is immaculate, brightly lit, and arranged so that every movement can be seen in the tall mirror behind the cutting table. The mannequins are mundane, but their polished glass eyes and angled poses make them effective psychological distractions.

On Failure

A failed theft attempt triggers a hidden bell beneath the cutting table and causes several mannequin heads to swivel toward the intruder. Valerius emerges from the fitting room with a silver-headed measuring rod, loudly accusing the party of vandalizing the dignity of fabric. If the party fails by 5 or more, a local watch patrol arrives within 10 minutes after Valerius sends a runner through the rear service door. If the failure occurs during business hours, nearby customers also witness the incident, imposing disadvantage on attempts to quietly leave without explaining themselves.

Shop Atmosphere

Thorne’s Threads & Finery is a narrow, high-ceilinged tailor’s shop built in a former bathhouse once called the Grand Steam Hall, an ironic name now preserved only on a cracked foundation stone in the cellar. Valerius Thorne, a high elf with impeccable taste and a devastatingly judgmental gaze, claims that the building’s old drainage tunnels give the shop its excellent humidity control. He talks to bolts of fabric as if they are temperamental aristocrats, apologizes to scissors before sharpening them, and insists on taking exactly 20 measurements from every client, including the circumference of the soul, which involves staring intensely at the customer’s forehead. The shop is spotless enough to make muddy boots feel morally inadequate. Pale mannequins stand in carefully arranged rows, each dressed for a different identity, and their painted eyes seem to follow customers as they browse. Valerius does not merely make clothes. He crafts identities, and he considers ordinary tailoring a regrettable form of surrender.
