The new scarf neck slot slot should be accessible for them, since it's a lot like an amulet but cloaks would still be blocked since they would drag along the ground.

Felids could wear them too I suppose.

Allow Felids to wear hats, boots, cloaks and rapier.

Anyone objects don't know childlikes of puss in boots

This angered me too when I started playing felids. Cmon devs! Nothing more adorable than a cat in ridiculous get up.

Silliness aside, this is a good suggestion. It buffs two races that are, by most measures, quite difficult to play, all while preserving one of their central challenges (little to no AC). As a bonus it makes sense thematically.

this is a terrible suggestion. octopodes already have the most slots of any species, they don't need even more

Giving Op more item interaction sounds like a great idea. They aren't Felid, that isn't specifically their gimmick, they could do with more.

wait wtf I thought this was a joke but apparently scarves are real now

They are probably going to replace something, like Charms?

New idea: You can wear hats, scarves, boots etc on felids, but they dont have any effect. Purely cosmetic. This would make me a satisfied customer.

Are there randart scarves? Because I really need a distressingly furry one.

Currently scarves seem to have a really odd (=bad) position. Unless I am draconian wouldnt I _always_ want +3AC over rc+? Even rMissile seems just barely better than 3AC.

I've not played with scarves, but I can imagine several circumstances in which they are useful.

In early game, you wouldn't have enough ?ea to enchant all aux slots (or you prefer not to use all your ?ea), so you may prefer a scarf with a useful ego to a cloak.
It can free up a jewellery slot.

Coming back to the OP, I don't think Op need any more slots.

rC+ seems odd when scarves of resistance also exist. But why not some of the rarer removed resistances or buffs like Clarity or rMut or SustAb? Scarves are rare enough, and not in-combat swappable.

I'm not really sure why scarves need to be a thing rather than just putting the effects on amulets and making them take time to kick so they can't be usefully swapped in combat.

In addition to randart distresstingly furry scarves, there had better be an unrand with a Dr. Who reference.

pls no, crawl is not dredmor

I support this idea. First time I saw a scarf I was playing an Octopode and wondered why I couldn't wear it

Alternatively, give scarves 1AC and put them in the amulet slot so that interesting decision holds true.
