Roleplay vs Stats

[no_rules_just_play]

people often take plate mittens or heavy gauntlets with armor that TOTALLY doesnt fit it. the only person that is allowed to do this is yurnero.

In general, when its about armors, i try to follow the clan theme. As for weapons, the one that i am using are following the theme and are effective stat wise so theres no problem
I dont understand people who go Heraldic armor, heavy gautlets and mioado... Or gear like that just so they have every thing maxed out..

My heavy gauntlets look shit, but I need max punch damage.

Roleplay and style, always.

A pityful excuse for getting the maximum armor with no downside.

GrannPappy wears the same ragged outfit no matter what weapon is in his hands

Most of my looms are weapons, because I swap armor too often for a loomed set to really be worth it to me. I do have a "good" set of gauntlets and body armor though.

Today, I want to be a:
peasant
conquistador in white
conquistador in blue
filthy shoeless bandit-hobo
assassin in black
fancy lady
desert nomad
swashbuckling saint
valkyrie
witch
shiny plate-laden knight
knight in black chainmail
etc.

Too many choices to loom them all!

Didnt they change the armor penalty for gloves? Its X4 now right?

[Sable Keech]

All my gear suits how I like to play.

However I keep +3 mail gauntlets because they go with practically anything.

Yes, that combined with the redonkeylous price does in no way make the heavy gauntlets a better choice than the plate mittens for the true min maxer. I actually like punching the last man standing.

Still, I'd like to see some additional bonus to melee linked to the use of light gauntlets/gloves, the heavy ones are just too good, even with light armor.

[Bronto]

I use all types of different gear and sometimes I pick the ugliest gear I can find and mix it together in one hideously beautiful I've never played this game before sort of way!

[kinngrimm]

Head gear so everyone can see my nice beard =)
Body armor, wolf style pellty & fluffy
Leg gear against annoyance factor a while back of floor sweeping 2h spammers
Hand Gear pure minimax
Shields always round, always so that the banner is seen as i don't like the banners on Armors
Polearm as Anti cav so that flanking has higher survivability, needs to be sheatable needs to be usable with shield, first so i don't need to search it on the ground, second come on you know ... blocking ^^
Steel Pick, because there is no suitable sword for my purposes, high agi low str, the swords with 12 str 4ps just don't "cut" it ^^

Eastern Soldiers cap, Black lamellar, Light strange greeves, Mail Guantlets.
All black armor that looks good used to be what I wear, but then we got the awesome Eastern Cap....
Also, I ride a black horse to keep with the black armor theme.

I stick with the Fallen brown/fur theme as much as possible, except when I go full plate/longspear.  Always open helmets of course.

With a face like that, stats are always secondary.

Fun fact:  those hide boots were the first piece of gear I bought.  They smell awful.
