| Dec 29, 2017 at 13:06 | comment | added | WernerCD | @Chris no worries... I provided my own answers as a spin off of that comment since it does make sense and has real world examples (IE: Military trained and gear provided/returned). | |
| Dec 29, 2017 at 12:54 | comment | added | Chris | @WernerCD: Those questions would be for the OP. My point was only that they say "It wouldn't happen in real life" and I was providing examples of when it could be perfectly reasonable. If those examples aren't relevant to the OPs situation (ie they do continue adventuring on their own and they do have an equal share in the loot (ie they aren't hired help)) then the question can be updated to reflect that and I will happily remove my comments. | |
| Dec 29, 2017 at 12:45 | comment | added | WernerCD | @Chris are they "no longer adventuring"? Or are they "no longer adventuring with us"? Just because the "companion" leaves "us" doesn't mean they aren't down at the local watering hole trying to get their next job... Kinda hard when they just "lost" their plate mail and diamond etched sword... Soldier turning in gear is an interesting point - The clothing (IE: Cammies/BDUs) is YOURS but the armor/weapons (Bullet Proof Vests and M16s) aren't. Could be an interesting distinction. What belongs to the "companions" and what is provided by the "hiring party"... | |

Why would they need healing potions or whatever else? A person who is not out fighting monsters and so on in real life wouldn't be wearing anything other than normal/default clothes. If a soldier leaves the army they don't get to keep their guns, and whatever other equipment they have. Your hang up seems to me to be based on this nudity/underwear thing when in fact if you think of it as stripping them down to normal clothing it feels entirely reasonable to happen in real life... | |
| Dec 29, 2017 at 0:30 | comment | added | Thunderforge | The "buck naked" remark in the question was used figuratively. I am aware that most games have characters without any armor instead wear a default outfit or undergarments. I've changed the question to just say "strip down to their underwear". It's not the nudity that's the problem, but rather the fact that we're doing things that wouldn't happen in real life. | |
