[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 1273512, member: 891"] Well not having them should give you a bonus on swim checks and probably an increase of at least 10% in speed... There's also issues of weather... anything under 70 degrees might require cold checks. According to Rousseau we'd be less morally corrupt if we were nude (but also only if we engaged only in incest and women stopped choosing men who weren't their brothers... so the issue here is not really clothing...). According to Hobbes original sin was not eating the apple, but putting on clothes (and thus telling God we felt his image was something to be ashamed of), but then those two political theorists are both a little less than sane in other areas... :D Clothes make you look 'snappy'. :cool: And it's often believed that a slightly clothed woman looks better than a fully unclothed one, because there's the allure of the mystery... So perhaps without clothes there might be a penalty on certain forms of diplomacy. Certainly not being clothed would affect intimidation checks. ;) In a serious vein though, I think you'd just be looking at weather and the rules of the given society. Honestly in a tropical society there's no reason to be clothed - and until Europeans showed up many people in the warmer climes didn't. There are parts of Africa and the Amazon today where clothing is still not used, and other places where was passes for clothing is anything but what we consider clothing today - such as those guys in New Giunea who wear wooden shafts on their... well... [insert mental picture here]. [/QUOTE]
