* Characters in ''VideoGame/CrusaderKingsIII' always wear nothing from the waist up while fighting sword duels, regardless of whether the characters are male or female. This is actually an example of the developers [[ShownTheirWork Showing Their Work]] as many historical people really did duel this way. While duels weren't necessarily intended to be fought to the death, before modern medicine a piece of clothing shoved into a duelist's flesh by their enemy's blade would mean near-certain death by infection.

mentioned Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing, because if you're shapeshifting to fight they often overlap.


ShedArmorGainSpeed, TheGlassesComeOff (a BadassBookworm removing his glasses before fighting), ActionDressRip, and FullFrontalAssault. Not to be confused with ClothingDamage, when the character's clothing gets destroyed ''during'' a battle, or GivingThemTheStrip, when clothing is torn or discarded to escape being grappled and ''avoid'' a battle.
