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 embellishments they wish. An outfit of sturdy clothing might include either a cloak or a coat, and perhaps a vest. It might include a large floppy hat with a feather on it, or a bandanna to keep the sweat out of your eyes. It might feature tall leather boots fitted to the wearer, or shoes with thick soles and a reinforced toe. All of these things are possible within the range of sturdy clothing. Of course, nicer materials, such as embroidery, lace, silk, and thread-of-gold, would all be the province of Outfit, Formal Clothes, or Outfit, Elegant Clothes.
