Now that arials have the option of having their wings spread out (flying) or tucked in (not flying) perhaps it would make sense to allow them to wear a normal around body item if their wings are tucked in?

If a giant can fit into a robe of deathfullness, couldn't an arial with his wings tucked in do the same?




***

inherent flight
You gently land on the ground and fold your wings tightly behind your back.

just judging by that echo I'd think so.

Just a thought.

When wings are out, over body armor isn't an option.
Wing armor is an option.

With wings in, wing armor must be removed to wear
over the body armor.

While wearing over the body, depending on material
it can either break from spreading wings, or cause
a lasting dexterity maledict with some damage.

Due to the nature of combat, I would disallow spreading
wings to fly given the anti-clothing code as far as
wearing/removing in combat.


OR

You can justify that if you are binding your wings in,
you cannot fly for a period of time after removing the
over body slot, from being cramped. Maybe it takes a few ticks
to be able to fully stretch back out your wings.

This seems like more work than I'd personally want to do for the limited payoff.

Zulg's a bigger sucker than I am, though, you might convince him.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

That's an interesting idea.

I'd make three limitations.

1) I'd make it have an earthbinding affect that disallows flight until the object is removed, either manually or via the idea in #3. I can see people, especially assassins who can choose when to fight, using fly potions to circumvent this limitation on the class so that they can wear that nice cape they've always dreamed about.

2) No wingsweep.

3) Make it such that when they spread their wings with the object on it falls to the ground.

With some minor edits, this was my first reaction.

Nah, there would have to be something of a deterrent.

This doesn't make sense. An assassin having to step out of the shadows for a round to quaff a temporary flight potion whose effect can be dispelled...that's enough of a deterrent right there, compared to arial flight. I'd do your #3 differently, though. See below.

>2) No wingsweep.

Agreed.

>3) Make it such that when they spread their wings with the

Don't like this. I'd say make them have to remove it to spread their wings, which means, among other things, they would need to be able to see. I might also associate some lag with removing a cape, since you have to extract your wings from under this cape, but then there's no lag associated with removing a set of full platemail, so maybe none is needed here either.
