Get dressed already! (does your mage wear robes?)

[Driddle]

Style question. What does your wizard wear - the wizardly robes and funny pointed hat, or stylish travelin' pants and a comfortable shirt?

Studded leather armor, till he's high enough level to cast Mage Armor in the morning and have it last all day. Then leather pants and a heavy wool tunic with a cloak of protection or maybe invisibility/chameleon.

And of course the obligitory Headband of Intellect. (Which is even more obligitory now that WotC has nerfed the animal buffs: "Let's make them less reliant on specific spells" Ok. Now we're just reliant on items containing those spells. Brilliant plan.)

Well.. my sorcerers have all worn nice, comfortable clothes. No pointy hats or robes.

The sorceress in our Friday night game wears her noble's outfit (a pretty dress with jewelry). Oh, and she also wears a spiked gauntlet. She's actually killed a small air elemental on an attack of opportunity. She was very proud of herself, since she almost never hits with a melee attack.

Of course, she takes off the gauntlet for social functions.

Comfortable, fashionate clothes. No robes.

Got to hate to wear class identifying clothing (unless of course, you are in disguise).

And as they say in Shadowrun... Shoot the mage first!

Bye

Vangkor is a half-orc: yup, warty gray skin; yup, burly and broad-shouldered; yup, thinning black hair. But this half-orc is civilized and stylish. He wears high, glossy black leather boots with his black pantaloons tucked into their tops. A clean white shirt with a frilled collar and cuffs. A long crimson coat with gold stitching and buttons. Attached to the coat is a chain that keeps a gold-rimmed monocle handy (to help Vangkor read -- he has one bad eye). He carries a carved wooden cudgel that doubles as a walking stick/cane. And he wears his thinning black hair slicked back into a short pony tail.

The pointy hat is essential. I've been very tempted to decree that headbands of intellect only come as pointy hats.

 

[Woas]

My wizards where suits and look like 19th century capitalists. Top hats, monocle, probably a little over-weight since they just float around.

Raphael wears a blindingly white Robe of the Good Archmagi, woven with golden threads that glitter in the light. Over his heart it got the sun of his patron god Pelor, while the right side has a smaller moon of Corellon Larethian. In dungeons he will sometimes wear a Cloak of Archnida over it, but never in a social or political setting.

Apart from that he wears sturdy boots and sensible trousers. No pointy hat, but a golden headband of Intellect....

My magi tend to wear whatever is the standard fashion of the setting/area.

So, yes, in some of them this means robes.

In other it means jerkin and hose.

But then again, D&D is built on cliches -- why bother to break the mold?

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

Hmmm... really like the pointy hat of intellect.

How about a pipe of wisdom (so you can be like Holmes)?
