On topicish: I'm fine with giving Bullet Proof Nudity to a horribly ugly, but unprotected PC.

I am not so keen giving it to a PC that has inbuilt armor...

Are we talking ugly-ugly or Hollywood ugly?

As per the recent thread here, I don't consider it valid for a PC with natural DR. It's very much missing the point.
If you're already in a game where you're buying natural DR, buy more natural DR.

Coyote Ugly.




And in seriousness, I'd allow ugly-ugly to get away with Bullet Proof Nudity if I were allowing it. Beauty being in the Beholder's eye(stalk).

I don't think self-identity should ever trump biological fact.

I believe unabashedly that coyotes are a top contender for the most beautiful animal in nature.

So you don't think it's appropriate as newly written up in DF Denizens: Barbarians?

I really like the new RAW on this, because it means that Conan The Destroyer-style Barbarians can get some worthwhile DR* and a bonus to Active Defenses, finally making the I Love To Go Around In Nothing But Furry Underpants look viable for a front-line combatant.

This means that Arnie-style Barbarians are finally viable as characters! (For the first time, in my view.) So I think this option is great!

Interested to hear your views, Bruno...


* Though DR that leaves them vulnerable to poisons, contact agents, etc
