It would be really nice if tailors had a FashionSense skill that let us tell how well dressed we or someone else was, to tell how much of a bonus they recieve to influencing from the opulence of the clothing they are wearing. That would help we few who care actually figure out how much clothing helps for influencing...

From the clothing that can be seen, you would rate Shorlen's opulence at 134 points.


It would also be nice to have the skill tell us how much of their body is covered in clothing, sorta like the artisan InteriorDesign skill, since it's sometimes really confusing what clothing can be worn with what.

The following areas of Shorlen's body are covered in clothing:

ACCESSORY: arms, back
OVERWEAR: back
NORMAL: chest, gut, arms, legs, waist

I can see it now
Shorlen: Open up, it's the fashion police!
Arix: Shoot, I knew wearing nothing but jewelry and a kilt would come back to bite me in the ass someday

I'm glad there isn't a fashion police. I'd have been in serious trouble all those years that I wore insane amounts of jewelry to spam my description and make people think I wasn't naked *eyeshift* Mind you, my opulence would have been through the roof, but so would my 'tacky' rating

this sounds useful to me, especially if it gave a summery of what each of the clothing pieces added or detracted from your total.

Mmm, i can just see it now, Lusternian queer eye for the straight guy. tongue.gif

Is opulent higher than prosperous? Because if that's so, I'll have to start influencing with my shirt off.

Do you have good abs?
Shiri2005-12-04 00:04:17
Looking at her honours, she's a girl, so I'm sure half the denizens won't care about abs one way or the other. ninja.gif

EDIT: Possibly under half, since "farmer" and "Percy" aren't exactly well-documented as genders.

I think it is. Leather armor at least. Fullplate and the like are positive.

No, it's a completely new shirt (I should know, I made it myself) but my underwear seems to make me look richer. I've asked my guild about it, but noone seems to know. Then it led to some awkward moments. laugh.gif

Only thing I can think of is that panties and bra are two bonuses, and robes is only one bonus.

Greatrobes are armor and thus have 0 or negative opulence. If your outer layer of clothing is greatrobes, it'll help as much as nudity. Underwear thus has more opulence than greatrobes.

I take it Shorlen's going to be the Queer eye for the Lusterian Guy host.

Is that what they're calling it these days?
Tsuki2005-12-07 16:34:38
Hmm, so that must be why Tsuki and Shorlen aren't married yet. *sagenod*

Tsuki will tell her nieces (and everyone else who asks when she's getting married) to stop pestering her and start pestering Shorlen.

On topic, something to be able to tell something about attire would be nice. Clothes confuse me, so Tsuki hardly wear any. halo.gif
Arix2005-12-07 19:46:12
ahh, for the good old days when I only wore jewelry and a kilt, and nobody was the wiser...*sigh*
