Interesting... And something to think about for myself as well. In general,
I tend to give my charecters 1 and only 1 piece of armor... the dreaded long
coat. Which would normally be OK, most of the year, but as you noted would
be darn out of place during the summer in say... the Cincinnatti Metroplex.
(OF course, UNDER that coat he wears a shirt similar to Cybertroll's shorts,
and either jeans or shorts, depending on the weather) I'd say it would be a
sort of a house rule thing, (DUH! Like it could be anything else given that
there is no OFFICIAL rules!!!) but I would advocate an opposed test... I had
a couple of ideas when I started posting this, but on second thought they
dont seem to fit that well. Let me think on them some more and if I come up
with something I'll toss it out here for the others to comment on.... Unless
the great and powerfull K has something in his mighty bag of house rules??
