Talk:Divine Surcoat/@comment-24035110-20181126163543

Historically no "surcoat" in this game is a surcoat and tabard is completely unrelated to a surcoat except being a clothing item. The closest thing to a tabard - which is effectively an ornamental poncho - here would be Knight and Royal Mantles, but they are very plain and essentially a peasant's clothes.

Surcoat needs a slit down the middle to allow comfortable horse-riding. This alone disqualificates this item as a "surcoat". Not to mention Magician and Cardinal "surcoats" which the only thing in common with "surcoat" they have is the word "coat".

What we have here is the classic fantasy take of a monastic monk's garment known as "scapular" which as you'd figure out by now was and is used mostly by Christian monks, not warriors.
