But what about muh practicality and realism in my super realistic gritty game!?
The cloak would get pulled or get stuck in something and trip your character and it'd cause a new big bang before straining your ankle.
Immersion BROKEN!
/s
Well if you want to get that realistic, long hair should be pulled back or covered and Tiefling tails should be tucked under armour.
Although, the cloak can be used for distraction or entanglement and the tail maybe to trip someone. The hair, can't think of a combat situation where it would be useful unless you braid it and put sharp objects in the braid.
Hehe yeah, I was just joking and being a smartass.
I've just had a lot of bad experiences with people ( especially in DnD communities ) who are extremely nitpicky and overanaylze armor and clothes if it's even slightly feminine but then pay zero attention to or don't even notice or even praise more obvious flaws.
But then someone has an OC character and there's even a slight hint of a female chest on the breastplate, minor cleavage, legs or belly exposed in robes/ clothes which aren't even meant to protect etc and the whole comment section becomes like 90% nitpicking and '' wElL aChTuAlLy '' lol.
Heck even if someone posts art of their OC and it's basically google copy pasted irl historical armor there's still a guarantee to be people harping on about how they like it because it's '' not like those designs ''.
I was just venting and poking fun at that a little, I am really tired of it.
Cloaks were actually used sorta like makeshift shields by twisting them in your hand altho that was in unarmored duels with swords like Epees, Foils and Rapiers.
Wearing a cloak in armored combat would be a really terrible idea lol, then again so would walking around in it all day too.
But gentlemen would often use them that way, but they also removed them if they weren't going to use them that way regardless too :P.
I kinda wonder how much gripping power Tieflings have in their tails tho, they could potentially pull some crazy shenanigans with them.
It'd be funny if they could use them for pickpocketing too even in conversations.
Distract them by speaking to them and then grab their purse around their belt with your tail xD.
