Hey, don't discount naked Orlanthi. A female Uroxi PC wearing nothing but woad (which still counts as naked, just ask the Sun Domers) calling out Myrrhyn for getting her disqualified made for an unforgettable Garhound Contest that year. :)

I'm not sure. I don't think an inflation of the "wound rate" needs to done. As a contestant's ability goes up, more wounds are needed to have any real effect (a -1 has more effect on a 5w starting character than a 10w2 hero).
