** [[EvilSorcerer Wizards are hated throughout the land]] [[MagicIsEvil for various reasons]]. The wide-brimmed hat and shapeless robes hide their faces and body types from prying eyes so they can't be identified; [[CollectiveIdentity and if they all dress the same, it's impossible to pick out exactly]] ''[[CollectiveIdentity which]]'' [[CollectiveIdentity wizard it was]] who burnt down your house and [[TheNecromancer raided the family plot for]] [[DemBones skeletons]]. Once the uniforms come off, they're just seemingly-normal everyday people.

* '''Deconstructed''': A wizard is quickly identified as a GlassCannon thanks to his attire, with all the consequences that may apply (being targeted first...).

-->Alice: "You might as well put on a robe and pointy hat and shout, 'Magician over here!'"
-->Bob: *quickly drops the robe and pointy hat he's picked out*

* '''Deconstructed''': A wizard is quickly identified as a GlassCannon thanks to his attire, with all the consequences that may apply (being targeted first...).
* '''Reconstructed''': Smart wizards ditch the robes, non wizards sometimes put them on as a bluff, and sometimes StoneWall warriors use magic items to appear to be wearing a robe and wizard hat while they are in fact wearing chain mail, [[IAmSpartacus safe in the knowledge that they can take/dodge the hits that will come for them when the enemies will target them instead of the real wizard just next to them.]] Most wizard are too proud and/or traditionalist to change their wardrobe though, so don't expect the robe and wizard hat to go out of style anytime soon..

-->Viewer A: "Wizard in pointy hat!"
-->Viewer B: "[[DrinkingGame Take a shot!]]"
