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

[blargney the second]

Skivvies!

My dwarf rogue/wizard wears baggy red & white striped pants, sensible heavy black boots, a white shirt, a wide (non-pointy!) hat, and a bandoleer with all the tools of his trades.

ps - Are you just curious, or looking for inspiration?

 

[Driddle]

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

That's a great idea.

 

[Vocenoctum]

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.)

(sidenote: that's actually exactly what the developers said they wanted. The items to be more useful)

My current wizard had red robes, since he was destined to be a Red Wizard. Now he's a psion, so he'll ditch the robes once he finds something more his style. Perhaps just a Skin with a nice cloak.

Ioun Stones are the fashion accessory that marks an adventurer in almost every game I play in. Since I made the Ioun Stone With Continual Flame popular, it's spread. (Didn't Invent it, but introduced it to my games)

I had a nethack gnome wizard that rode around on a dragon, wearing an Apron (over a hawaiian shirt) and a pointy hat (cornuthaum). That was fun and I should reproduce it in a D&D game

My wizards tend to wear orinary clothes most of the time, and since I hardly ever use magical items, asides from scrolls of my own making, they do not have flashy jewelry or anything. Come to think of it, they look very plain and simple most of the time, with only pants and a shirt, and a vest or a jacket depending on the situation.
Sometimes they wear robes though, but always wear something under a robe, and no slippers. It is absolutely dreadful when you're casting a lightning bolt and on the last instant your slipper goes flying because of an exaggerated somatic component... The flashiest robe I ever wore was a Neo-style cassock.

 

[Dirigible]

My wizard wears a stylish dress and high heels.

But that's just his little way.

 

[WayneLigon]

Playing two mages right now, in different campaigns.

Theris the halfling wizard wears short boots, black calf-length trousers, a grey long-sleeved shirt, a green short-sleeved overshirt, a thigh-length leather jacket with a lot of pockets sewn into the interior, cut-off wool gloves, a couple belts plus a dagger belt, and a wook cap.

Brin, the human magister in the AU game, wears sandals, faded green shorts held up with a couple thin belts that have the pouches and hooks for various equipment, a faded yellow vest, no shirt (it's really hot where they are), various trinkets and amulets afixed to the vest or worn around his neck. Two silver earrings in his right ear, a simple knotted leather bracelet around his left wrist. Carries his staff.

A similar question or few:

Do your rangers and druids wear maple leaves?
Do your barbarians collect ears or scalps to carry as trophies?
Are your paladins always dressed in shiny, brighter-than-gawd's-smile armor?
Are your rogues always dressed in black?
Do your fighters wear -- well, nevermind. Fighters are boring. They have no fashion sense whatsoever.

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

Are your paladins always dressed in shiny, brighter-than-gawd's-smile armor?

Heh. No. Most people don't see my Paladin's armor at all. All they see are his scottish noble's clothing. Ah, the fun of glamoured Full Plate.

 

[Samnell]

My bard is dressed sort of like an Elizabethan actor: doublet and tights. The doublet is usually on the short end, even for a halfling. Astin's a bit of an exhibitionist and his hat of disguise hides the damage adventuring does to his longsuffering wardrobe.

My sorcerer (also a halfling) wears a semi-piratical outfit. Big white shirt and oversized, floppy pants. Doesn't stop him from quietly climbing over a drow wizard to cut his throat every now and then.

Best druid I had: an elf, who wore nothing whatsoever He just used a staff as a weapon.

Paladin: last paladin I had, he just had regular old beat up armor, though he had some bright mail he used for ceremonies and such

Rogue: Current rogue dresses in black and burgundy.
