Cape

You walk with your young charge, giving advice on his apparel. “Few things in this world are as useful as a good cloak, young master,” you say from experience.

“They’re sturdy and warm, with a hood to keep off the rain and the sun. They swirl at the hem to give you that theatricality that people are so fond of. Use it as a blanket and bedroll when you’re out adventuring, or to ease a muddy crossing. Yes, young master, a good cloak is the most important thing you could have.”

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Epic Black Cape is one of the oldest garments known to humanity. Made from heavy cotton twill, this particular design is fitted around the shoulders, allowing it to hang naturally from the shoulders and neck while providing cover to the torso. Its round hood offers additional protection to the head. The length is short, reaching from the shoulders to the mid-calves, keeping it from dragging in the mud.

Secure this Cape by fastening it at the neck with cotton straps. The cape is a versatile and useful garment when rounding off a character's look, and offers protection from the elements. The Epic Armoury Cape is a neutral item with a simple cut that will go with almost any character regardless of setting or culture. 

HISTORY

• One of the oldest garments worn predating the Renaissance and medieval times
• Common fashion in medieval Europe, especially when combined with a hood

As the world’s greatest and most famous monster hunter, you must look your best--and you must especially look impressive when you make your first impression!

You walk into the tavern following your apprentice’s long announcement that includes all fifteen of your glorious titles. Your trophies of the greatest monsters lines the walls, and people stand and offer to buy you your first mug of ale. And meanwhile your Ignis Pants are bright and as loud as the cheers from your adoring fans.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Epic Black/Dark Red Pants Ignis are styled leggings with baggy, pleated thighs and vertically cut colours. Made from durable black cotton twill and red medium canvas lining, these pants are extra wide above the knees before fitting tighter around the lower legs. Included black leg wraps complete the look around the calves and shins, getting the best fit to your body and negating the need for tall boots or thick leg pads for your leg guards.

The pants are fitted with six belt loops and are stretchy at the waist, giving you the best fit. The pants also have deep pockets, as well as two small pockets on the front that fit a pair of your favourite throwing knives. Whether you are a traveling ranger or urban rogue, these pants are a great style of high quality.

HISTORY

• Similar to the Landsknecht Pants, worn by German Landsknecht mercenaries of the Renaissance period
• A great way to show off wealth with the excess use of fabric
• Design is similar to the Pluderhose, a 15th century design that fastened at the knee

The next time someone calls you a rat faced bastard, allow them to not speak in a hyperbolic manner.

There is a network within the gutters where you and your wererat kin rule. It’s the center of the black market and a place for thieves and murderers alike, but woe to the man who trespasses...for the tunnels are many and they go deep within the earth.

There are places down these tunnels where you dare not even go--but where you would happily direct someone who deserved such fate. It is one of the many reasons it is so rare that surface dwellers bother you and your family.

DETAILS

Epic Effects’ Brown Rodent is a full mask with a rodent-like appearance, a mutated sewer rat that has been exposed to too much radiation. Featuring a long nose, huge pointy teeth bared in a snarl, and big attentive ears, don this mask to take on the appearance of a terrifying rat man. The skin is textured with scars, creases and furrows, made to appear like a cross between fur and skin with hand painted detail. The eyes are large with good visibility.

The mask fits over your face and chin, moving with your natural jaw movement. The mask is made from thick 100% natural high-quality latex, making it strong and durable, ensuring long life and extended reuse. The mask is made with good room for breathing and ventilation, and is fitted with a silken cotton sheet on the inside to improve the comfort with extended wear. The look and style of the mask can be modified by highlighting it with Epic Effects' Water Based Makeup from event to event.

INSPIRATION

• Rat folk have been used in role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons and Pathfinder
• Usually a symbol of disease and villainy

You’ve been on the run from the bandit gang all night after escaping from their hideout, and while they scour the roads and search in town, you’ve taken to the woods. You’re a smart adventurer, after all--or at least one that is smart enough to still be alive.

Hiding in the underbrush and using your Ready-for-Battle Cape for warmth, you decide to wait the bandits out until you can sneak away with their loot. Of course, your plan doesn’t really account for the possibility of running into wild beasts.

Here’s hoping the wolves aren’t hungry.

DETAILS

This Ready-for-Battle Cape is an advanced semi-circular cape: short at the flanks, long at the back, and fitted with a hood with cotton-strap fastenings. This design combines ease of movement with the best degree of protection from the elements. Made from durable cotton, this cape is easily made water resistant with a treatment at home.

Capes make great accessories if you need to add layering to your character’s costume, as capes have become almost synonymous with medieval and fantasy clothing. Capes are also highly practical in limiting the impact of wind, rain or sun.

The Ready-for-Battle Cape is a classic cut and will be usable by any character in any game world, allowing freedom when customizing equipment for your characters.
