My Question is about Robes and Armor I always thought they both took up the body slot is this true or can you wear a robe and a suit of Armor


Yup, robe is body slot, but armor is it's own armor slot. You can also have a shirt underneath it all, chest slot, and a cloak over it all, shoulder slot.

Like your mom always said - dress in layers!

Yeah, this was a modification that Paizo made when they created Pathfinder. 3.5 they used the same slot, PF they use separate slots.

YES! I've argued the same thing for years now! There's what 4 slots for the shoulders/arms area but none for the legs? What's the deal?

I'm still waiting for the magic socks.

The problem is that every day you need to succeed on a perception check just to find the matching pair.

What it should be:

•Belt: belts, sashes and girdles.
•Body: robes, gowns, vestments and suits of armor
•Chest: mantles, slips, shirts and vests.
•Face: glasses, goggles, veils and masks.
•Feet: boots, shoes and slippers.
•Hands: gauntlets and gloves.
•Held (up to two): shields, weapons, wands, rods or items.
•Head: headbands, phylacteries, circlets, crowns, hats and helms.
•Loins: kilts, skirts and trousers.
•Neck: amulets, brooches, medallions, necklaces, periapts and scarabs.
•Ring (up to two): rings.
•Shoulders: capes and cloaks.
•Wrist: bracelets and bracers.

I've added a "Loins" slot, and combined the "body" and "armor" slots. This cuts down on potential layering while keeping allowing reasonable slots.

Instead of "eyes," there's a "face" slot above. That includes masks, which are worn on the front of the head, rather than on top.

To be balanced, I removed the "forehead" slot and combined it with the "head" slot. Wearing a headband and a circlet doesn't make much sense.

I also changed the "shield" slot to a "held" slot, representing any number of handheld items, including any weapons, or other items in hand.

I think that list would make the most sense, when considering the range of items available.

I think its spam. Check their user profile and you'll find they're selling something (online gambling). Damn bots are getting trickier to find.
