The four outfit options are great, but max BDR is the last area of the game where I feel like I'm constantly having to switch my outfit in and out by hand, particularly with Notability having so many burnable uses now.

A fifth slot would have other potential uses too. Like a roleplaying outfit to leave on your profile when you're not playing. Or a stat reducing outfit when you're trying to level up faster.

Likewise. It's been rather annoying to exchange outfits back and forth, and a fifth outfit should eliminate that source of annoyance entirely.

The max possible BDR without Fate is currently 23, not counting the two potential points from getting a tattoo from Lilac. There's a fair number of different items available to you (and some which only increase BDR as you suggest).

    Yes! A BDR outfit would be great. It could have an interesting name too - "Prominent" suggesion above is one. Or it could be Impressive or Memorable or ... Momentous? Prestigious? Influential?

    If they make it six outfits, say Prominent for BDR and Fancy for... whatever strikes your fancy, everyone would be covered.
    I would be delighted with just the BDR to be honest. The back and forth, especially when grinding notability, adds to the frustration.

    I think six would be great and eight even better.

    I use one slot for the best 'combined stats' sort of the best average that works for 95% of cards. Adding four stat outfits and BDR the comes to six and I can easily see people having even more set they frequently (want to) use.

    Given that we're focused on that the outfit is meant to leave an impression, I would call it "Show Stopper", which also works as the name for a sandbagging outfit

    That's actually a great idea.

    But from another point of view, your profile is meant to be what others see you as, and in that sense it wouldn't really make sense for people visiting your character ('s page) to see them wearing something completely different from what they're actually wearing right now.

    I totally agree that we need a fifth outfit for those stats. May I also suggest that perhaps a few items whose only job is to increase the BDR could be added for those of us who prefer to play without fate? (something equivalent to the drownie effluvia for example.) or even some of the cheaper items at fadgett or dauncey's?
