Thanks

Should have a thicker abdomen, but other than that it's excellent armor.

Edit: I wonder where she keeps her helmet. =)

I mean, now that we're nitpicking, that's still supposed to be standard power armor with environmental protection and an air supply. I'm not up to date on the latest rules, but I'm pretty sure they're still immune to stuff like smoke grenades.

Oi! Regarding the last, check this out:

And here's a couple of flashy ones, but the armor isn't bad (although, are those platform shoes on the second one?):

Obviously, the helmet is automatic and hidden inside whatever that is on her back. So, it comes off when she's safe, but goes back on when needed, like a convertible car.

..whatever that is on her back.

It's a..umm.. fusion power plant/waste recycler/life support system for the armor.

then it should be able to easily accommodate a helmet that folds into the back that automatically goes up & down...

Count me in favour of chain mail and plate bikinis. I'll take cleavage over realism any day of the week. Not pc, but honest.

The way I figure it, the bikini armour has a
lode stone enchantment on it, that attracts weapons to it and away from exposed flesh.

I have heard a lot of guys say this and while I understand it I wonder if they realize that hey woman have infiltrated the game.

And maybe we would be more comfortable at the table if we don't have to have cheesecake as representative of our PCs or the major NPCs.

True - a few years back when there was one of those threads on getting more women involved in gaming, I had posted on a non-gaming forum where I post frequently and asked the women there about their perception of D&D, and there were certainly some women on there that had the "chainmail bikini/cheesecake" image of women in gaming (not to mention the image of gamers being socially "awkward" pasty-faced guys who live in their parents' basements)

Most women didn't have that image of D&D/gamers, but a good percentage did (maybe 1/4 or so?)

I enjoy a variety of fantasy art. All of one kind or the other would get boring after a while. The cheesecake pics of both males and females are a staple of the genre and a reminder that we can't take this stuff too seriously. The pics of musclebound oafs in leather jock straps are just about as common as the female cheesecake but I have yet to see an oversensitive guy make a fuss about it.

It is all simply fantasy art. We can appreciate art for different reasons. The silly and the serious can coexist without the world coming to an end.
