Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nyeshet" data-source="post: 3474711" data-attributes="member: 18363">I can't think of any off hand.Part of the problem with creating such is that they would have to apply to all the NPC nobles, etc as well - and most of them, by the RaW, barely have enough wealth to buy a backpack. Indeed, if you want I would suggest something akin to having to buy noble clothing (or whatever it is called in the PHB) before any formal situation, to reflect the cost of fixing / replacing / buying the garb, etc expected of them - but even this would only be for the PCs that actually have titles. In the middle ages most such individuals would have had wealth from lands to cover such. (Indeed, in the middle ages the main source of any wealth was lands. Those without lands typically fought in tourneys. Those they defeated typically had to give up their armor, horse, or even themselves to the victor, who then had the right to ransom them: forcing the loser [or his lands / family] to pay for the recovery of the armor, horse, loser, etc.)There are no rules for armor getting rusty and needing cleaning, nor rules for clothes getting messy. Just recall, even if they do get dirty from the road, etc, a single Prestidigitation (a 0 level spell) will clean them. If they get torn then another 0 level spell (mending) will repair them. If the character is high enough level to have taken Leadership, a single first level wizard or cleric would be enough to keep him presentable at any given time for any situation. As for keeping in fashion, etc, the Paladin is not expected to follow such foppery. He is, however, expected to tithe part of any treasure he takes to his religion. No other character has that requirement (although arguably the cleric should as well). And, as suggested earlier, having them buy a 'Noble Outfit' or whatever it is called each time he is about to be in a formal situation (or - for the more foppish - whenever he enters a new city) would easily cover this. But after about level 4 or 5 it will be more of a minor nuisance than a true cost, due to the wealth levels as a PC increases.</blockquote>
