[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8144763, member: 6704184"] Again I roll my eyes. Yes, I understood the first time that you were trying to leverage some form of military service as a "win" button in an internet argument. Good for you. Now, if you're done trying to invent a pissing contest to try to win, we can discuss the actual topic. If your armor pinches, or significantly chafes outside of days on end without changing into fresh underclothes (by which I mean all the clothes under that armor, not underclothes in the sense of boxers and such), then you have armor that doesn't fit you well. That sucks, and if you're American then I apologize on behalf of our government that my tax money was used to buy you uncomfortable armor. There are a lot of other things that they spend money on that is total BS, even just within the defense budget. A decent set of medieval armor does not pinch or chafe. It just gets hot and sweaty. As for social norms, the discussion has nothing at all to do with a normal social scenario, the OP is playing Curse of Strahd. Damn right I'm not walking about fracking Barovia without my gear on. However, even beyond all this absurd topic, it'd a dnd game. Most people don't try to engage deeply with realistic social norms from the Middle Ages in their DnD, which makes sense, because DnD is rarely taking place in a world that could possibly actually resemble Medieval Europe all that much. Hell, even if we did try to do so, bet your ass knights did walk about in chainmail when they were in enemy territory in a context of imminent danger. [/QUOTE]
