[QUOTE="Dyne, post: 3630397, member: 27202"] I was talking about the books. The rulebooks say it many, many more times than just twice. For example, my Ravenloft book has a detailed section about different levels of culture and technology, and it refers to "default" D&D being equivalent to Medieval Europe. Really, the fact that people would debate this detail makes me wonder if you have EVER read a D&D book in your life. If you want examples, pick up a book: it is mentioned so many numerous times that it would be difficult to miss. It's unreasonable to expect me to pour through my books and quote every instance I come across. Instead, it would be much more reasonable to post quotes of your own that support your viewpoint. Yes, I think all characters should be portrayed wearing actual clothing or armor. I think variety in this regard is ludicrous, it'd be like saying "Hey, we should eat a couple rocks, just for some variety." Also, Hennet is far from being the only character with excessive straps: [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/cx_gallery/86409.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/cx_gallery/86416.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/completechampion_gallery/104710.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/cd_gallery/81349.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/cd_gallery/81351.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/cd_gallery/81358.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/compmage_gallery/100458.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/compmage_gallery/100459.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/compmage_gallery/100460.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/compmage_gallery/100461.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/compmage_gallery/100471.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/compmage_gallery/100519.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/compmage_gallery/100497.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/compmage_gallery/100514.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/cpsi_gallery/96349.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/cpsi_gallery/96354.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/cpsi_gallery/96398.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/cpsi_gallery/96403.jpg[/url] Those are just from a couple books.
