Hey, good question. At Ralinwood we do require reps, for two reasons.
First, because that way there's no ambiguity about the locations covered and whether the new player has basically got a free sap-proof and garrote-proof out of the deal. Second, because it sucks for everyone else if you see someone walking alone on a path in the wee hours and you can't tell whether he is armed to the teeth or wearing a cotton shirt.
Is this a question or a one off, or is it a recurring concern? If there are lots of people struggling with first time armour, we could look into doing armour rental the same way that we do weapon rental. But we couldn't afford to do that past first game, or all our reps would be out all the time and our NPCs would be naked.
