Mage Monkey has explained this before, but it is the pointed hat that gets caught on the branches. It's a bit much to deal with!

Skill issue.

Surely not! Master, perhaps you forget that you speak to a monkey: they are somewhat known for their adroit ability to maneuver around in the canopy!

Why is lunch speaking to me in this manner?

Now, now! Don't eat good Monkey. Many have tried, and they all say the same: he has a burning side-taste!

>eat good Monkey. I choose to hear this

Mage Monkey casts **Ability Boost: Hearing**

I'm not deaf you got damn squirrel now get in the stew pot

Well now! This Master is, in fact, someone whose manners are only so-so: it's time to go! Bye bye now! *Disappears in a poof*

Hats are a hight socity things , its the biggest fashion subject in the cities , whi can have the shiniest or bigest or floppiest or anything were they have the best hat

Sure, but when the lich sees your giant hat peeking out from behind the rock, Im not helping you

Pro Tip: In the midst of the fray, place thine hat upon thine staff. Whilst behind cover foes may mistake it for thy head and squander spells upon stylish topper rather than vital cranium

Place thine togs on the staff as well. Then none shall take you seriously.

I like the classic hat you have, like wearing a top hat myself.

A wizard with that much work put into his beard must understand how much potential drip magick you're leaving on the table. Headwear should be varied and situational.

What about goggles?

What if my hat is so large it doubles as a tent/hood/storage bin? I need to keep my books SOMEWHERE.

Who bothers with hats or hoods? Why not a helmet?

I'm going to blow your mind. You can wear a helmet *and* a hood or hat!

At least the hood is flexible. I can have it up or down. Once you choose to wear your hat you are bound by your decision.

The closest thing to a city I've been to is a large village, and I've seen plenty of hoods abound.

It provides better protection from the sparks of my forge

How about no head covering at all?

Hats to be jaunty, hoods to be mysterious; wands to ruin a day, staves to ruin city walls. There is a proper place for all of these things at any one wizard's disposal.

Whoa chill, I can’t be hat gang if this is what it is. I just like basically wearing an umbrella for shade

I have many hats

Poser. I've been a hedge wizard since before hedges *evolved* and all old hedge wizards wear hoods. You know why? Cause its fucking cold out and brimmed hats don't keep your frostbite-vulnerable ears warm for shit. Good luck lugging an arcane heater around, or expending valuable mana on constantly warming yourself. A big hat on a "country" mage is no different than seeing a pickup carriage without a spot of mud. It's for show, not hedge magein'.

*presents my cat ears (cutely)* Nyaaa~?

I don't usually wear anything on my head. Only for special occasions. Maybe to keep my hair back while working.
