i'm fine with leather armour being the default armour your character gets as a thief but why can't it look different to everyone else?
for example a street rat background gives you a ruff and faded looking set of hand me downs while a nobile background gets gold icon of his house printed across the breast... its not that hard
That dont sound to me like good idea ...
I mean just bcs you have Urchin background doesnt mean you are homeless or beggar right now. :-/
Have you seen Game of Thrones? Varis was perfect example of such person with Urchin background.
Aswell as Noble background doesnt mean you are member of prominent part of society "right now" ...
Same show ... John Snow ...
I would certainly have no problem with ripped faded clothing ... or silk clothing with gold erb on chest ...
But for anyones sake ... DONT make it automatic, that is recipe for disaster! :-/
