Having gotten that off my chest , Kelileās outfit actually makes sense, it is a Dance special guaranteed to raise your temperature for 6 turns unless Rigard cools you off.
My biggest problem is pockets. Melendor has a pouch and a man bag. Sabina gets a small change purse. Olaf and Ulmer get the medium version of the pouch, or a very small man bag. Scarlett has enough BUCKLES to satisfy Rob Liefeldās pouch fetish, but not a single actual pouch. It like those fake pockets men designers keep putting in womenās clothing.
Excellent point. Scabbards are also an issue with characters including Scarlett, Grimm and Azlar holding drawn weapons AND wearing a brace of scabbards which are already occupied with further swords. This is going to be very inconvenient when ordering dinner or doing chores around the stronghold.
@Gryphonknight can you or @Rook branch this topic off? Wardrobe malfunction is quite amusing and is worthy of a thread.
I believe one under estimates the tactical advantages of white satin stilettos in a combat situation.
Firstly, they provide additional height, a popular millitary technique for centuries. This both intimidates the enemy and increases the soldiers field of vision.
Secondly, the white material and open top of the shoe allows for heat resistance and breathability, which is key for hygiene when fighting in hot climates.
Thirdly, if you throw them at someone, they probably really hurtā¦

EDIT: While looking over the heroes for evidence of ābuckle frenzyā (BERDEN!), I was suddenly struck with the question of which heroes were lefties and which right. The two handed weapon types are throwing off my numbers!
Youāll need to learn what the fighting style would dictate. I would tend to assume that the heavier weapon would be used for striking the killing blows, while a lighter weapon would be used for nimble parrying and feinting.
I expect most combat styles would also favour a stance with the weaker side forward.
@Rook
I believe you might have ignored your own post about Aife, whose unlaced boot and exposed right foot is just an accident waiting to happen, that or it was a practical joke pulled by Derric because she made fun of his nose this one time.
Iāve just noticed that Kashhrek has some kind of bear trap too, which is a bit sinister.
And in relation to left and right handedness, a lot of characters have a single shoulder guard. I would hypothesize that this would be on the weak arm, which would lead towards the enemy.
Boldtusk is confusing because he wears armour on his sword arm, which would surely just make you clumsy. But he is an orc, I suppose.
Also, this has been bothering me for a long time, but not really wardrobe malfunction, more like body language malfunction.
Richard: Uh, Devs 1 and 2, can you not make my in-game pose animated? Dev 1: And, why not? You do realize you are one of the only few animated characters in the game right? Richard: Just look at my off hand, you know the one not holding the Cloud Hammer. Dev 1: Yeah? Richard: Whenever I am making story progressions, Gem II Quest introductions, or reminder the users to not forget to sign in to their in-game account or they might lose their data? Dev 2: Yeah, so? It makes you look powerful and stuff. Richard: No! It makes me look like I am grabbing at something, only that there is nothing! And that smile I have on my face while doing itā¦ It makes me look lecherous and very unpopular with the ladies! Dev 1: I see, so what do you want us to do with that hand? Richard: I donāt know, put it on my waist or something. Dev 2: So, your animated pose will have you wiggle your off hand while it is resting on your waist. Dev 1 and 2: *Hee hee, arm wiggleā¦snort! Richard: Just donāt animate me!
Those are arm guards / gauntlets on his arms. It helps protects his forearm and wrists from enemies who might try to chop at his hands to disarm him (shield hand or knife hand).
