I'm considering introducing a group in a campaign of mine who use spiked armour. Now, I want to make it plainly clear (ideally in funny ways) why spikes on armour is pretty much unheard of historically. So if you will, playgrounders, help me come up with funny/informative stuff. I'll go first.
When out of earshot, the group are often derisively called the Knights of Ughdammit. Nobody will explain why, but the PCs will find out on meeting them that this is said surprisingly often when the spikes get snagged on something or makes a tear in something they're passing by.
One of their number once fell over while drunk and his spikes caused him to stick to the floor planks. Unable to get up he fell asleep where he was, and the next morning had to laboriously remove his armour before being able to get up.
The local tailor speaks very highly of them. He gets an awful lot of business patching up their clothes and making new ones.
