What should assess -v show?

[Cale_Knight]

I've seen a few really good ideas about things that should be added to assess -v.

Some possibilities:

1) Any wielded weapons.
2) Scent. It's easy to tell if someone is wearing perfume or colonge without actively sniffing at them.
3) An indicator if they happen to be completely nude.

Just the scent.

Honestly, who uses assess -v before they use look?  You'll already see if they're armed or naked, so it's redundant and unhelpful.

*Raises hand.*

..Often instead of look too!  That said, I don't necessarily like any of these options.

I use Assess -v three or four times more then look.

I assess -v the same person about 6 times each time we meet, while I may look at them 3 or four times. I like to know who is bigger than me.

The point would be making assess -v a tool that provides useful information without having to broadcast to everyone in the room that you're staring.

I like how it is now, but I think it could definitely be made better while still plenty realistic.

In a casual scene, I'll usually assess -v, to check race, age and size, and then use look later on, so I can get an idea of wether or not I should be eyeing them.

I would love to see weapons wielded, scent, and maybe the completely nude thing, but I'm good with ass -v as it is now.
