I know that priests in battle in the medieval period wore the same as everyone else, so perhaps our clerics in the dungeon should do the same. Looking at wizards, the Karameikos gazetteer actually explicitly states that they wear the same clothes as everyone else. Be careful whom you try to rob there! :-)Ruaridhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003128932063213463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902725340164986341.post-27005539903586529352010-06-07T19:04:02.239+01:002010-06-07T19:04:02.239+01:00Clerics and their robes - strangely enough, this i...Clerics and their robes - strangely enough, this is one area that LARPers would have some meaningful input.<br /><br />(that's a sentence you don't hear very often)Daddy Grognardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559857164172090739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3902725340164986341.post-65602622987246947492010-06-07T18:01:46.993+01:002010-06-07T18:01:46.993+01:00Your miniature looks great.

I got an owlbear mini from Otherworld miniatures and it will probably end up looking like a Black Ooze by the time I get done with it. <br /><br />Clerics should be dramatic. Robes definately help add flair, but suck when they get caught snagged on a door handle as you flee from a giant mind flayer. Oh, not mind flayer, I'm not allowed to use that.
