Tarnished (player builds)
TARNISHED (PLAYER BUILDS) — CANONICAL BUILD
Overview
The Tarnished covers the customisable player character across armour classes, from heavy knight sets to light traveller garb; common threads are weathered leather and metal-plate armour, a tattered cloth undercloak, and a wide-brimmed or horned helmet, all in muted earth-tone and rust colour palettes. Builds typically use EVA foam or worbla for armour plates with a fabric cloak, and any wig/hair is chosen to suit the specific armour set worn.
