Item
Cloak of Disease Resistance
Wondrous Item, Rare (requires attunement)
This Cloak is magically imbued with protection runes,
yielding the user immune to disease and poison.
 
Curse: ​This cloak is cursed. Attuning to it curses you
until you are targeted by the remove curse spell or
similar magic. Removing the cloak fails to end the curse
on you. After completing a long rest, you must succeed
on a DC 10 constitution saving throw, or lower your
constitution score by 1, as the cloak drains your vitality
to power its magic. When the cloak is removed from
you through a remove curse spell or similar magic,
your constitution score returns to its original value.
