Outfit, Sturdy Clothes

• Cost: 10 gp
• Weight: 6 lbs.

Player characters begin play with an outfit of sturdy clothes for free. However, they may decide that a second (or third, or fourth) outfit would be nice to have, for variety's sake. Sturdy clothes are well-made simple clothes common to people not looking to impress anyone, but instead seeking clothing that is durable and comfortable. Sturdy clothes often have additional material added to reinforce areas of high wear, making them ideal for adventurers exploring uncivilized areas.

Sturdy clothing looks normal for any characters moving about social circles of a Modest lifestyle or less. Attempting to socialize in wealthier circles while attired in sturdy clothing will incur a -2 penalty to Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive. In addition, many shopkeepers and merchants in these wealthier districts will not do business with poorly-dressed ruffians.

Players are encouraged to describe their outfits, adding whatever accessories and details they wish, as long as all the parts add up to a single outfit, and the details are appropriate to common clothing of good quality. An outfit of sturdy clothing might include a wool cloak or a leather coat, and perhaps a satiny vest. It might include a large floppy hat with a feather on it, or a bandanna to keep the sweat out of your eyes, or even an orange ascot to go around your neck (if you and your gang like to solve mysteries). It might feature tall leather boots, shoes with thick soles and a reinforced toe, or a pair of wooden platform clogs for wading through mud. Of course, nicer materials, such as embroidery, lace, silk, silver buttons, or thread-of-gold, would all be the province of Outfit, Formal Clothes, or Outfit, Elegant Clothes. Furthermore, sturdy clothing is largely intended for moderate temperatures, between 45° F and 90° F. Clothes for hotter or colder weather are available separately.

Note: Outfits that are actively being worn weigh nothing. The listed weight is only applicable when the outfit is being carried or stored. Characters may only wear one outfit at a time.
