Prisoner Hood

It belongs on someone else's head. The game text says the hood restricts vision, and that is the point: once a roamer is in handcuffs, you pull it over him so he cannot see where you are walking him.

Twenty cloth, no bench, and nothing to research: every player can make it from the start. Cheap enough that a group which likes taking prisoners keeps one next to the cuffs, and pointless for anyone who does not. Put it on yourself and you are just a player who sees almost nothing, with no protection the text admits to.

So it is a prop for ransom games and clan stories. If you built a cell from prison cell gates for your guest, the hood is the finishing touch, nothing more.
