This is an extra [[Ability]] that is available to a player only if they actively [[role-play]] or portray their [[class]]. Examples would be acting consistently in character in [[battlegames]], having good class-specific [[garb]], and meaningfully contributing to the atmosphere of the game. This ability need not meet a cookie-cutter definition of the class; any dedicated behavior consistent with a backstory can work. [[Barbarian]], for example, could be played as a refined Samurai rather than a raging viking and still qualify for the bonus.<br>

From the Rulebook:

Look the Part is an additional bonus granted prior to the game for having made a visually significant effort to contribute to the swords-and-sorcery atmosphere of Amtgard. This can be in the form of accessories, visually impressive garb, or anything else that promotes a more immersive visual experience. Note that this portrayal need not be specific to a given class, but instead specific to the character portrayed. Look The Part abilities are available at first level and are in addition to all other class abilities.

Example: A player has a Look The Part ability of Scavenge 1/Life and a normal class ability of Scavenge 1/Life would have Scavenge 2/life.

Look The Part is a game-by-game bonus awarded by the game reeve.
