[QUOTE="RigaMortus, post: 803114, member: 1077"] There are a couple of potential problems with this... First off, Monks can not wear armor. If they do, they lose some of their Monk abilities. That would mean Monks would have to run around nude because Monk Robues would be considered "armor". Then you have to ask, what type of armor would Robes, bikinis, etc be considered? Probably Light. This means a Mage or Sorcer would have problems wearing them (assuming they had an Armor Check Penalty or Arcane Spell Failure, which I don't see them having, but you never know). Not sure how Druids would be affected by this. Maybe not at all. I don't know too much about Druids since I never really played one, but I do know they are restricted in their choice of armor or weapons. Like they have to be "natural" or something, made from wood and such. So that might possibly mean a Druid couldn't wear a cotton shirt because it is considered armor and they can only wear specific armor, a cotton shirt not listed among them. Anyway, just an example... And how would stacking work with this? I can see someone wearing a cotton shirt under a chain shirt, and then a Robe over that. So could they potentially get each piece of "Armor" enchanted with special abilities? [/QUOTE]
