How does your character dress -- subtle or vibrant?

[Aurora]

My current character tries not to attract any more attention then she already gets. She is too well known and there have been multiple assassination attempts on her. Her reputation along with her effective 29 charisma (I know this is a crazy high stat- but it is because of the storyline) makes it hard enough for people to not notice her- she doesn't need to draw attention to herself.

 

[megamania]

I often have dark colors with flashy bright colored items added like scarfs, sleeves or belts. One of my favorite characters wore green and brown leather armor with white - gray bandages (think a mummy) on her arms and legs. Very distinctive and cinimatic.
Buckles and rings everywhere. What can I say? I'm a product of the 80's and love my glam-rock bands.

Toss up between 1 and 3.

Same here In real life I wear different clothes every day, for the same reason people bathe every day. So it varies. My characters either do the same (so I don't care) or go muted (because adventurers rarely want to draw attention).

I think my next "uber-assassin" rogue will wear bright garish clothing though.

No one will ever suspect them

 

[Thurbane]

I can't rightly answer this poll -- I have some characters who dress darkly, some who wear muted colors, and some who could blind a beholder with their outfits. It just depends on the character.

Cheers,
Wyrm Pilot

Ditto.

My namesake character, Thurbane, is an evoker who wears rich black robes embroidered with red runes.

But I have also played Rogues and Rangers who wear muted, earth tone clothes...

 

[Shemeska]

It's been a while since I actually played, but an NPC/DMPC in my last campaign, a tiefling member of the Xaositects, was randomly about as flashy as a circus clown. Lots of fun. And I've had some other NPCs, including my namesake, that had entire sets of outfits detailed in depth whenever the PCs encountered them.

 

[Ferrum]

My character just came across a set of enchanted vampire skin studded leather, and a Cloak of the Bat. The vampire skin was described as being pitch black, and the cloak is equally dark. The last few sessions have also seen my character's skin go grey from some nasty spell.

In the past he was wearing a mithral breastplate with a continual flamed pheonix etched across the chest, and had a rich brown skin color. So, things have changed drasticly, but I'm gonna run with it.

I guess my answer is more or less, deal with what ya got.

 

[DestroyYouAlot]

I voted option 2, as the only character I currently get to run is a both an ice wizard and a cleric of a goddess of death and magic - not exactly disposed towards muted tones, he wears an ice blue robe over royal blue tunic and breeches. However, the character I played before that (who is still, technically, in play) dressed like a cross between Vampire Hunter D and a homeless person - brown leathers + linen wrappings, brown travelling cloak, all chronically impregnated with road dust. So I'm in both camps, here.

 

[drothgery]

Unless my character's both low level (or broke, but in D&D that's pretty much the same thing) and from a lower-class background, they almost always dress like anyone else of the upper middle class/minor nobility from their home country. But even it's culturally approriate, my wizards will not, under any circumstances, wear a pointy hat

 

[demiurge1138]

It really does depend. Much like Shemmie a few posts up, I so rarely play that it's not really an issue most of the time. That said, my two longest lasting characters have been on complete polar ends of the spectrum. One wore bright blue robes and a huge feathery hat (being a half drow alienist with teeth sticking out where they shouldn't, he preferred for his face to be the last thing people noticed about him). The other preferred well tailored black and grey suits. And a top hat. So I guess even my more subtle characters have a certain fashion statement to them.

Demiurge out.

 

[Angel Tarragon]

My characters dress nicely and in vibrant colors. The only exception was the cleric I ran in a mini-campaighn (4 shot), he did everything he could to make the most of his healing abilities, wore an olive drab cloak with a dull-red cross on the back of it. His name was Hawkeye Pierce.

Yes, I love M*A*S*H.
