Where are all the robes?

[NorthStar]

Love the game, but where are some freaking robe options? Almost level 5 and all I've found for my warlock is a green hoodless robe. This was the same gripe I had with Divinity 2. Is Larian just totally anti-robe or what?

I think most of the gear is not in the game and will be probably released alongside rest of the game in August.

Don't take my word for it tho.

hopefully in act 2 along with belts and capes.

You have to find the merchant, Robespierre, he has all the robes.

that +1 saving throw ultra rare robe will change everything

In the closet! Where else?

There's no such thing as non-magical robes in 5e as far as items that actually convey stats, so the only mage robes to be found are necessarily magical gear. And that's always going to be at a premium. Larian is already significantly more generous with magical gear than 5e typically is.

Fun fact: you can put a Barbarian in a robe, and she still gets Unarmored Defense!

I want more armor variants in general. Also, regular clothing as well. Let my Warlock use Armor of Shadows while wearing some fancy clothing.

Or Larian is just pro D&D5.

I kinda want a Robe of Useful Items to be in the game not going to lie.

Not sure what groups you play with, but in all the games I have played and the few I have run. Most official modules throw a magic item at you every three or four rooms in a dungeon.

I'm not asking for robes that convey stats. I just want some cosmetic options for being unarmored besides a green robe. I'm pretty sure clothing options exist in 5E. If I walk into a tailor's shop in a 5E campaign and I ask to buy a robe, is the GM going to say "sorry, robes don't exist in this universe"?

I think I'll just go back to walking around in my undies. At least I get some eye candy.

That's still 3-4 times less than BG3!

I hear ya. There are mods that add a ton of new clothes and armor. Hopefully Larian is paying attention and adding some too.

You give players, robes, they don't want them...
