Drainage System
Hate to argue, but I know little is known about this item and I'd like to see it defined. :)
I've had a character bashing a golem for the past five hours or so today, wearing a cloak for the entire time. Stamina is NOT drained - Even if I allow my HP to fall to the minimum amount.
My maximum health/stamina/mana levels are 112/17/140. I lose some stamina/mana with each succesful strike on the golem, but I typically regen the few points lost before my character can strike again. My armor only has +2 stamina regen on it and I have no battle focus, so if I was taking a -14 stamina drain I'd be seeing the effects.
I also didn't see stamina drain when the cloak was functioning as it originally did (by providing an infinite source of mana). Unless of course I let my health drain too far, in which case moving drained stamina quickly (though this is usual and not an effect of the cloak).

Draconi's Comment
"To sum: A dread's best friend, or a hero's shield in the unknown."
What Draconi could have meant by that last part is not known. - Galen
- Outside the void only characters who wish to obtain the "dread" title have a use for the cloak (it can otherwise be somewhat difficult to get/maintain this when you consider that most creatures worth hunting provide massive amounts of positive karma).
- Inside the "unknown" void, the cloak is useful to any "hero" due to it's replenishment properties.
- Hmm, I wonder if the thing works in other ethereal locations... Probably not, but it may be helpful in future events (kinda like Mystic weapons).
