| Divine clothes switching? Hello!
Last night I was talked to Celgar the Lucinate Cleric, and he was talking away happily about possibly going on a venture somewhere then he cast cure serious wounds spell and changed into his combat clothes! I found this a really good trick that I could use to save having to fuss about changing behind a tree or something...
Dulan is a Toranite...
It's fine if Lucinates do it. Can Toranites do the same trick though? I mean Luncinates are more about the weave and magical whilst Toran is more faith based....
Maybe I could mutter a prayer about Clothes switching?
Any help on this matter? | | |

No, seriously, perhaps you should design a set of clothing that is what you wear underneath your armor, so you can take your armor on and off without taking off your clothes. In reality, no one was ever naked under a set of armor. Some sort of clothing and/or padding was needed.

| Re: Divine clothes switching? *nods* we sure have... But even she would wear something underneath a metal armor, she might like the feeling of having leather directly on her skin (I can imagine it will become a bit sticky and smelly) but I seriously doubt that she woulld wear iron like that, the joints would be very unconftable....

| Re: Divine clothes switching? The pinching can lead to stitches, in metal armor.
Even in leather, if you're unlucky and the armor's not so nice to you.
Clothes, and even a gambeson (padded armor) are usually worn under plate armors.

| Re: Divine clothes switching? There is no prayer or spell that makes you switch close and suddenly appear in combat clothing.
And about the fuss  , just quick-slot some text, walk beinhd some tree or something and hit the quickslot key that can they read something like "Removes his clothes, folds them up in a nice pile, dons his armor and stores his clothes in his pack"
Really it's not that hard  | | |

| Re: Divine clothes switching? There is nothing stopping anyone from roleplaying it as its own spell, however. I never would have thought of it myself, and it is certainly quite a crafty idea! | | |

| Re: Divine clothes switching? Really.. the padding thing is a good idea as well. Anyone that knows real armor knows you have to have some sort of paddes clothing or something beneath it. It's quite naive to think otherwise.
Caighd has a hot button for his plate and a button for clothes that I setup to look like a basic padded armor. When he puts his plate on or takes it off I usually emote that he's strapping, buckling and fastening his armor into place or doing just the opposite.. Plate armor comes in many many pieces... | | |

| Re: Divine clothes switching? It's easier with half-plate. Just unstrap the breastplate, greaves, gauntlets, and arm-guards, and you're done!

| Re: Divine clothes switching? The idea of clothing onder your armor sounds like a much better idea that casting somekind of spell. Like EdTheKet said I don't thinks the should be a spell for it, but then again that is just my apion.
I'm certainly going to use the Switching clothing idea's for my character. I'm going to have her wairing something under her normal clothing. She is a sorceress so no need for metal armor. But she would certeanly have something for combat.
