==Creative origins==
In an interview in ''[[Oerth Journal]]'' #14, [[Rob Kuntz]] revealed that the ''Invulnerable Coat of Arnd'' was briefly stolen by Boaric, a human fighter played by [[Skip Williams]] as he tried to make his escape from the ''[[Dark Druids]]'' module. Unfortunately for Boaric, he was slain by a vrock, who dropped him from a great height. Williams was made to believe by Kuntz that the ''Coat'' had shattered in the same fall that killed Boaric, but in reality the vrock, afraid to touch the artifact itself, alerted its superiors to the artifact's location, and the ''Coat'' was brought back to a temple area. Williams briefly mentioned the event in an interview with Grognardia. [http://grognardia.blogspot.com/2009/06/interview-skip-williams.html]
