You can try this at home. Give the cloak to the fighter in your party that has the best armor class (mine is Sir Anomen with -9). And transform to a RAT. The rat does 1 damage per attack and 2 on critical strikes. But the point is, whatever enemy that hits the rat does only about 1~2 damage! This is useful while fighting Greater Wolfwere packs and other none magical enemies. And after the fight, turn Anomen to a Troll, which regenerates faster. And 2 mins later, you'll have him back to full health again. I hope this helps.

Correct. Note that the rat has 90 vs. all weapons (check your character screen while transformed into a rat). That's why you get so little damage. As far as weapons are considered, you are as resistant as an Adamantine Golem or Kangaxx. On the other hand, the rat cannot do much damage to a strong enemy. Also, your magic resistance isn't terrific. Use with care.

Thanks for the tip. The rat is quite useful. But the 'Mustard Jelly'? What good is that?

The mustard jelly is immune to missile weapons, highly resistant to magic and has an attack that slows enemies (poisions too?).
