Maybe add a morale or comfort rating to every character.
Wearing a new fur coat, for example, would boost your
comfort rating more than some dirty old cloak. The benefits 
of this rating could be hidden, similar to luck, with occassional 
extreme benefits. It could prevent some cases of aggressive 
mobs attacking on sight, slightly increase your chances of 
hitting a mob (If I feel well, then I'll probably fight well), etc. 
I tossed around this idea awhile ago, in order to account for
numerous things that would have no direct effect on a 
character, such as visiting a brothel (gasp!) or a public bath. 
I remember the game Shadows over Riva did something 
similar to this. Comments?
