- I think if you were going to implement this, you'd have to give the
- user a warning. You say remove shirt, the game responds:
- Temporarily remove cloak and armor?
-
- Setting up a function that let you remove your cloak armor and shirt,
- and then replace your cloak and armor might not be too hard, but I think
- you'd better at least warn people that for a turn they'll be standing
- their in their shorts.
