Something that's always bugged me quite a bit is how some folks seem to go everywhere with their armor on. Standing around in a tavern? Armor. Playing games during festivals? Armor. Listening to a lecture? Armor.
Armor all the time.
How do you seriously expect anyone to appreciate your attire when you bury it under hundreds of stones of bone, leather, chain, or plate armor? Simply put, they can't. More to the point, do you really think that strapping a shield and parry stick to your arms to carry around every waking moment is doing anything for your fashion? I can tell you now that it is not.
Now, I can understand if you're a member of the Paladin's Guild. I mean, armor is your life in that guild, and many of it's members go to great lengths to find the very best they can. I can also understand armor for ceremonial matters.But, really, armor just for collecting rocks? Is that really needed?
To be quite honest, armor is filthy. You adorn yourself with it to go out and fight. It gets dirty, blood-soaked, dripping with sweat and, for the metal types, either reeking of polish or flaking with rust. It's just inappropriate for every single occasion.
So, do yourself a favor and remove the offensive thing or invest in something that will hide it with magic if you must. Or, do as I have, and have your armor turned into fashionable garments that disguise their martial uses.
You'll be better for it in the long run. I assure you.
