Best Clothing in 3.5

[Aemoh87]

I have recently found my character walking around without weapons or armor (due to items that let him call them) so what is the best clothing in 3.5. Also what are good clothing mats?

[FMArthur]

Ordinary peasant garb. No one pays attention to peasants.

[Volos]

Noble's Attire with the proper jewlery gives you a circumstance bonus to Diplomacy.

Desert Clothing adds one level to your heat protection (Sandstorm)

[thorgrim29]

Earthsilk gives you DR 1/bludgeoning.

[Ossian]

As long as it is tailor-made, it all goes buddy :smallcool:

Darkweave Silk Pantaloons
Price: 108 GP
Weight: --
(Eberron Campaign Setting p. 122)
+1 circumstance bonus to Hide checks under shadowy or dark conditions. Note: it doesn't have to be silk pantaloons, but there is no "legs" or "pants" item slot, so anything you wear on your legs shouldn't interfere with your existing armor or magic items.

Glamerweave Rhinestone Battle Stockings
Price: 101 GP
Weight: --
(Eberron Campaign Setting p. 122)
+1 circumstance bonus on Diplomacy checks. If you're willing to spend 500 GP + double the normal cost of the clothing, you can upgrade to Clebdecher Glamerweave (Sharn: City of Towers p. 158), which increases the circumstance bonus to +2. Note: It doesn't have to be rhinestone battle stockings, but there is no "legs" or "pants" item slot, so anything you wear on your legs shouldn't interfere with your existing armor or magic items.


Note: For some reason I didn't mention this in the description (possibly because it will probably get books thrown at you), but since these items grant circumstance bonuses, which technically stack with each other, you could try wearing several items at once and stack the bonuses together: darkweave pants, darkweave shirt, darkweave socks, darkweave skarf, etc. Again, make sure you're wearing your underpants +5 AC vs angry DM.

Monk's outfit has a lot of places to hide stuff and it comes with a small belt that can be used as a short rope.

[Greymane]

Best Clothing in 3.5

Whatever I put on.

[Grumman]

It actually counts as armour, but my highborn drow character wore masterwork glamerweave spidersilk clothing. It's both stylish and functional.

[Swooper]

I like Shiftweave from the MIC, assuming I don't need the slot for a Vest of Resistance or similar. 500gp for five different outfits that you can switch between at will!

[Coidzor]

Earthsilk gives you DR 1/bludgeoning.

What's the source on that?

[Aemoh87]

I thought there was an intimidate fabric as well. Maybe in one of the Forgotten Realms books.

[dsmiles]

I'd pick a reinforced greatcoat, goggles, and jackboots, with leather pants and a shirt that I could move easily in. Maybe a snazzy hat to tie it all together. But then again, I play mostly in the Iron Kingdoms.

[Amnestic]

What's the source on that?

Races of Stone, pg. 160. An Earthsilk Jersey provides DR 1/Bludgeoning or Slashing. If you take a critical hit from a piercing weapon, it tears and stops providing DR until repaired. Costs 150gp.

[Crossblade]

Ribbons and bows make you look pretty.
Pink ones are the bestest.

[rayne_dragon]

Best single piece of clothing in D&D: standard issue hooded black robe. 10x more useful if you're playing on Krynn where it is officially the garb of choice for villains, rather than just typically.

Best part is, whenever you're bored, you can sit alone at the corner table in the tavern and assign people quests.

(I swear I'm gonna do that for Halloween one of these years...)

[Toliudar]

Clearly, the best clothing in D&D are these pants:

You'd think that anyone wearing these pants would get the crap beat out of them at every turn, but somehow, in D&D, this guy advanced high enough to enter a prestige class. So they must be great.

Heh. With those chocolate coins...Brilliant!

[ShriekingDrake]

birthday suits are best . . .

[Triskavanski]

my favorite is always explorers outfit, cause I envision mine to have belt straps around the arms, legs and torso for holding pouches.

beyond that though? Fig leaf.

[Claudius Maximus]

Always wear gloves. Decent protection against contact poisons and suchlike.

Somewhere out there is a description of lead lining to protect items against divinations.

[BRC]

Krusk's Coat.

That is so not what I was picturing when you described that outfit... sounds like an imperial guard Commisar to me. Cool minis though.

Complete scoundrel I believe has that. And there is no rules for lead poisoning! (Cause truthfully, our potions are probably made of elixirs of lead and pomegranate)

Mhm, I've actually been trying to find out stuff about Clebdecher, where can I read up more about that?...Also battle stockings? Are they worn by the changling hookers governed by Krushk pimps? xD

Honestly I'm way more impressed by the bard's outfit.

[Ravens_cry]

Ordinary peasant garb. No one pays attention to peasants.
:smallamused: Indeed.
The ninja you can see is not the true ninja.

[hewhosaysfish]

Glamerweave Rhinestone Battle Stockings

Battle... stockings... with rhinestones...

Maybe if you're playing a bard based on Elton John.

[dsmiles]

Musn't forget the rug snazzy hat. It really ties the room outfit together.

[MarkusWolfe]

Honestly I'm way more impressed by the bard's outfit.

Indeed, we are all impressed by a vest that appears to be made solely of gold and jewels.

Anyways, best outfit in D&D? Cold Weather outfit, flavored as a bunch of furs and a kilt.

[JellyPooga]

This. Except I thought that everyone knows that you always go for a dark grey or brown cloak...black stands out too much, even in darkness. Oh and never go for standard issue; you want the "Multi-Pocket Deluxe". It might cost more, but you can never have enough pockets!

[Greenish]

Clearly, the best clothing in D&D are these pants:
http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/cd_gallery/81345.jpgI love that picture. Usually I'm not a fan gaudy clothes, but that's just so… gaudy… that you have to love it. The PrC is pretty decent, too.

Honestly I'm way more impressed by the bard's outfit.Needs bigger, shinier codpiece.

Oh, here's a magician who needs no robes to look the part: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/5n_gallery/90026.jpgTruly, ruffles make the man.

[Person_Man]

Stealing directly from this comic, I once had a (Lawful Evil) character who would wear the skull and skin of the most impressive enemy he defeated as a hat and cape. I even took ranks in Craft (cloths). It would get changed out as he defeated stronger enemies. So it started with an Orc, followed by a Wererat, followed by a Dryad, and so on. Lead to some very interesting roleplaying.

[Combat Reflexes]

Just put on your robe and wizard hat :smallwink:

[grimbold]

why summon your armor when you can glamer it?
otherwise i think that a rogues outfit can be useful

A dryad skin cape? :smallconfused: ...I can see hollowing out the head even if they don't have skulls, I guess...

Wait. Soft or Woody dryads?

[Aemoh87]

a dryad skin cape sounds alot like a chunk of bark...

[Ravens_cry]

a dryad skin cape sounds alot like a chunk of bark...
Some of the local first nations groups made cedar bark capes. So its not completely impossible. Just really, really disturbing.

[VeisuItaTyhjyys]

Obviously the most expensive.

[Ravens_cry]

Obviously the most expensive. Obviously, because when you are an assassin sent to infiltrate the servants of an important noblemen to you can eliminate their grace, you want to be wearing the most bling-iest bling possible.:smallamused:
Likewise if you are an noblemen travelling incognito, less ostentatious dress would be protective against prying eyes and and sneaky fingers.

Hell yeah! Pyromancer of the Silver Flame! Gotta love a snazzy dresser like that.

Ultimate Magus gives new meaning to the phrase "Peacocking".

Argent Savant is just so stylish with those...I don't know what you'd call those pants...low-rider bell-bottoms? Could do with more than a sports bra on top, though.

Blood Magus...Yellow and black? TACKY! and that Tiny vest? Ugh...

Hey Fatespinner! Megamind called! He wants his collar back!



This is great! I feel like Joan Rivers!
