A desert nomad's garb consists of a light-colored robe that clads the entire body and is held in place with a cloth waistband. Underlays consist of pressed and glued-together linens to provide a modicum of protection. The hands and the face are unarmored, but the garb contains a cloak and padded shoes made to navigate both uneven, hard ground as well as loose soil and sand. The desert nomad's garb is always masterwork; price and benefits are subsumed in the above statistics.

The desert nomad's garb provides the following benefits when worn, on top of its general protective capabilities.

• You gain the ranger's Camouflage ability in desert areas and natural environments of similar color.
• You can move at normal speed across any sand. You are unaffected by any difficult terrain involving sand and similar loose underground and gain a +4 bonus to any saving throws against effects based on sand.
• You count as having level 2 heat protection or your existing level of heat protection increases by +2 (see Protection against Heat, Sandstorm pg. 14).

Craft (tailoring) DC 20. Market Price 300 gp.
