[QUOTE="Jolly Giant, post: 2523467, member: 5278"] The five players I DM all have their distinctive views on character dress codes: There's the guy who always plays either an elven wizard or a low-int paladin. Either way, his PCs are always dressed to impress: Silk clothes, plenty of jewelry etc. More than once I've seen him refuse to wear a magic item (robe, cloak etc.) because it didn't look good enough. Then there's the guy generally plays a rogue. He doesn't want to look good, he wants to look [I]cool[/I]! He always come up with some rather outrê outfits for his characters, and can frequently be heard sayin "image is everything" during gaming sessions. A third guy is usually the tank of the party, playing either a barbarian or fighter (or a multi-classed brb/ftr). He just wants to look [I]savage[/I], and scary and intimidating. Lately though, he's developed a taste for the bard class, so things might change... The fourth guy used to ALWAYS play dwarf fighters, but has lately started playing dwarven clerics instead. As long as his clothes and equipment are functional and more or less clean, he doesn't care too much about how he looks. Finally, there's my soon-to-be wife. She wants to try a new class or race every time she rolls up a new character. All of them have this in common, though: They don't give a hoot about how they look! She's the one who is no rush to wash off after a sewer crawl... She'll go naked if her clothes are somehow lost or destroyed. She usually puts a lot of effort into making herself a comfortable and good-looking home to hole up in between adventures, though... [/QUOTE]
