Cloak of Invisibility 5e
Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement)
While wearing this cloak, you can pull its hood over your head to cause yourself to become invisible. While you are invisible, anything you are carrying or wearing is invisible with you. You become visible when you cease wearing the hood. Pulling the hood up or down requires an action.
Deduct the time you are invisible, in increments of 1 minute, from the cloak's maximum duration of 2 hours. After 2 hours of use, the cloak ceases to function. For every uninterrupted period of 12 hours the cloak goes unused, it regains 1 hour of duration.

Greater Invisibility provides characters a ton of power- what if you had four hours of it per day? That’s what a Cloak of Invisibility offers!
The Cloak ceasing to function doesn’t permanently prevent it from regaining duration.
The Cloak regains its duration at the end of the 12 hour period- if you spend a minute of remaining duration within that window, you regain no additional duration and restart the 12 hour recharge timer.
Unlike Invisibility, attacking and casting spells doesn’t end the Invisibility condition this offers.
Invisibility is a clunky mechanic; an invisible creature has advantage on attack rolls and creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls against invisible creatures agnostic as to whether or not they can perceive them.
Invisibility doesn’t automatically make you imperceptible; you still need to make Stealth checks to move unnoticed.
