Uniform Regulations

//Back to RPG System//
//Back to the Codex//  

All characters must visually portray a member of the Brotherhood of Steel within the guidelines that follow.

As a chapter, the more we look like the Brotherhood NPCs that are in the game the closer we get to our goal of providing the community with a believable BoS faction to interact with.

Under this assumption we require that characters wear and use BoS themed outfit/armor/weapons.

Even your camp can help define this look, please represent the chapter to the best of your ability.

Help and advice will absolutely be made available to anyone with questions and a list is forthcoming for allowable items sorted by preference. Please ask an officer if you require guidance.

This is a living document and will change over time. If you disagree with something speak up! Your input matters.

Situational items are limited in the sense that they are only to be used during certain times where they make sense (For example, a sledgehammer being used to breach a door).

Items not on the armor list are considered out of regulations and should only be worn at special off-duty events.

Items will describe their requirements in parenthesis. If a rank is denoted that item can be worn by the listed rank or above. Hopefuls have a very limited selection to adhere to the look of the current in game Brotherhood.

Please note that this list is only concerned with visible items. Armor and underarmor hidden under an outfit is exempt from these requirements (for example, you can be wearing legendary raider armor under a BoS outfit while not roleplaying. The important thing is that you look like a Brotherhood NPC at all times)
