Basic vs Advanced
Winter of Wolves is a Rule-based RP, but that doesn't mean we want players to have to crunch numbers and learn the whole system to play. Pretty much all of the game can be played with basic rules, for which you only need to know the information written out here. Sometimes, there will be advanced rules which can be handled back stage by the GM, whenever you see text Written like this, these are advanced rules and you can feel free to ignore them if you don't want to get into the mechanics of the RP.
Tattered Clothes
Tattered Clothes are an assortment of old, discarded clothing, rags and the sort. They tend to provide little protection from the elements and carry with them a distinctive smell. At least they are easy to get and may be clobbered together after a couple of hours of dumpster diving in the compost caves beneath the Royal City. At least the many layers and caked filth on the cloth serves as padding, offering some degeree of protection against trauma.
