Hi all,

I'm pretty much a new poster, been a lurker for a little while and figured I would chime in on this one. I don't like the idea of having a TK specific robe. I would prefer that they attached special abilities to a skill instead or if must be an item. make ita ring or necklace etc. This would allow me to dress like I want to and not be locked into looking like every other TK out there. I am all for having them design a few new robes to allow people to look however they want, but forcing everyone to either go armored or in "Jet Li"style is not my preference.

If I can fight in a TK robe, I have achieved the higher levels of "Enlightenment" etc and I should be able to fight just as well in a pair of camo pants and a duster if I choose. They could set it up so that you have 30% resists to kinetic etc (Which goes up as you go up the tree) but if you put on anything with an addition, it all goes away. This would allow us to not wear armor, but not make everyone wear the same robe. This allows us to change our appearance at will and not be locked into a "look".

Jedi's should have a robe because in the films it was the uniform, if you will. I just don't think we need one. I realize that TK's aren't in the film and simply using the "few that escaped to keep an eye on the Jedi" theory (Ok so I am a watcher in Highlander the series, cool). I think they would want to blend in and wearing a robe like all other TK's sort of kills that purpose for me.

flame on!

Just my 2 cents, thanks!

I tottaly agree. TKM's should have a robe just like the Jedi, TKM are not meant to wear armour..

I like this idea, though I don't think they should give actualy % resists. Maybe increased dodge and stuff of that sort. Skill modifiers basically. and if it did give resists maybe 20% max.

Fame? It's an empty purse. Count it, you're broke. Eat it, go hungry. Seek it and go mad.

Why not give tka a bonus when wearing padded armor? It is light and seems to fit the tka. Just becausetka doesntmean theyhave to wear a robe. And padded armor is cool to boot.

We don't need profession-specific clothing and armor. That's just stupid. See FFXI for examples. Everyone of a given profession looks exactly the same, and inventory management is such a pain they don't even switch between clothes and armor.

I just think tailors need more schematics for cool new wearables. Teras Kasi don't have special robes. At least for the Jedi it's an iconic thing; there would be no purpose to Teras Kasi robes.

on second thought, just any robe-like thing would be cool.

Robes would rule! and would again thin out the attack of the composite clones! Armor needs to be balaced and TKM should bw ablt to get robes DIFFERENT THAN JEDI! but robes with mods and as good as composite... it would rule dev take this into account please!! Dont know hos idea this was but its great... props to you

I love the Idea! Teras Kasi Artists are watchers of the Jedi we should have a special robe. But dont make it look like a ninja suit are anything like that make it more of a "monkish" look that makes us look tough but wise. You know?

I've trained in Shotokan karate and Japanese sword arts for 10 years. The fact is, we only wear our training uniforms (gi, dogi, uwagi and hakama, there are many names and variations) in the dojo training. Outside in the everyday world we wear normal clothes, and I think it would be the same for the melee classes in this game. That said, the fold over kimono look that karate gis have is a very Star Wars look, you see humans on tatooine wearing this look in A New Hope. The whole Star Wars mythos is based on Akira Kurosawa's "Hidden Fortress", so I think clothing or armor based on the Samurai would be great for melee classes in this game. RIS armor was a great start, it is just too hard to obtain. A realistic request to the devs would be just to have more variety in BE clothing and to make another armor besides Ubese and Composite attractive to melee classes. I think Padded armor has the perfect look for melee classe; we should push to have the encumbrance lowered and kinetic resistance raised to put it on par with Ubese armor. I also think Ubese armor should be given something that would make Bounty Hunters want to use it. In my mind, Composite Should be for Commandos, Rifleman, Carbineers, and Pistoleers. Ubese and ultra-rare Mandalorian armor for Bounty Hunters. Padded armor and RIS for melee fighters. The rest call it newbie armor. Tantel would also be good for us, but it is just UGLY
