That's how they do in the Classical era. Proper athletic events - like wrestling, discuss, slaughtering all your rivals, running - were all done nude.

Whoops, my bad. It seemed contextual; I didn't think about it. Added a warning.

Well clearly full mast was frowned upon.

I feel like this happens with the goblin player in every DND session I run.
