Armored Robes

HealingBreeze · Post by **HealingBreeze** » Wed Aug 11, 2004 9:52 pm

Just a little idea...I've always liked the look of the robes introduced in HotU, but as a still-spell caster i tend to use armor more than robes. Would it be possible to introduce some armored robes (full plate with a robe on top)? You could make them the same as normal armor you can buy now, just with a robe on top. Even as a melee I'd go with an armored robe just for looks compared to normal plate.

Anyone agree?

I agree or at least try and find away to combine certian clothing with armor to produce a new item ie: "cloaked 1/2 plate" or something that would have a halfway decent appearace...

I can't count the number of times I have to choose between looking fashionable or having good AC...of course after being the wrong place at the wrong time once or twice i usually opt for the better AC....

back to topic....i agree armored robes or a way to combine clothes with current armors to give clothing appearance without having to give up AC...

To paraphrase DD: "Heavy armour that looks like a robe? Laaaame."

A dev's mind would prolly go like this while reading this post:
Assessment: aestethic change request
Action: delay indefinately

Something like this, for example:

So you still have the feat requirements, spell failure, and weight of heavy armor, but some new appearances for melees, divine casters, and still-spell mages.

I like the idea - but you gotta remember - Everything in the ideas and suggestions is stuff wed like to see but wont.

You would be suprised at how many ideas that have come from the ideas and suggestions forums have been added to the list of things to get done. Admittedly most of them arent on the priority list but I wouldnt be suprised to see them start cropping up eventually (I wont even qualify that with a "soon").

Ok, if TGPO won't use "Soon" then I'll expect to see these ideas around next december? Ya?

HealingBreeze, Just one quick question: Why does your char model have hands with fingers? Mine all have really blocky fists.

I found a really handy override on the Neverwinter Vault that replaces the 'fists of doom'
Hands Override

Also, I found a really useful override that adds bowstrings:

And finally, a neat little [censored] Sword Override for those of you that get tired of the same models (It's nice that NS doesn't use Haks, but that can lead to some boredom)
