One that always bugs me is the depictions of women with heavy limb armour and near naked torsos, it's very difficult to think up even a high-magic explanation for how that could make any sense.

Come on man, Warduke is just cool.

He's actually more armored on the left hand side. Maybe it's optimal when opponents are striking using wide strike from left to right. It's halfway sensible...

Looks more like gladiator armor to me...and they were supposed to be vulnerable for the entertainment of the crowds...

In module XL1 he's a full on pregen PC adventurer with his armor described as plate mail.

He has updated stats in Dungeon #105, where he's said to wear a +3 moderate fortification adamantine ceremonial spiked half-plate, which must win some sort of award for the most modifiers to a single piece of equipment.

(For those wondering, the rules for ceremonial armor in D&D 3.5 are in that same issue of Dungeon, on a sidebar on page 71, right below Warduke's stats.)

If he was holding the shield with his unarmoured arm, it would be ok as gladiator armour.
It's more those female knights in massive pauldrons and tiny bikinis that bug me!

Now that's some asymmetric character design. It's weird that the two different boots somehow bothers me more than the one pant leg. He looks like a He-Man character.

He's going to get a pretty weird tan in armor like that if he spends a lot of time in the sunlight.

Whatever that's supposed to be around his left knee, it can't be helping his Dex (or his move rate) much being unable to bend one leg....

The original has the shield on the unarmored side.
