D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 is Anime! Wait, what?

[Amphimir Míriel]

Haven't you ever ridden an elf bike?

You just took the word out of my mouth hong...

If i walked in an bar, and saw her sitting... I would walk out and go out to an other bar.. You know when she sits around trouble is going to break out for sure and innocents are going to die..

Yeah, like the redhead War chick on Good Omens... She takes a drink at a bar, and a few days later, the United Nations start sending peacekeeping troops...

 

[DandD]

Meh, she got beaten up by a little girl, so she ain't that tough.

The chick's a poser. Real warriors either wear armor that covers and protects their vital organs or wield shields that do the same job. This fake does neither, which is why she fails. (Yes, this includes your Red Sonjas; cover up or get stuck like a pig.)

Wait, D&D is real?

 

[DandD]

Of course. Didn't you ever saw the gamers and chick tract?

 

[hong]

Of course. Didn't you ever saw the gamers and chick tract?

I don't believe you, DandD. You're not real.

 

[DandD]

I'm in your brain, killing your multiple personalities...

 

[hong]

Of course, the fact that you're not real will not prevent me stalking your avatar pic. HUBBA HUBBA!

 

[DandD]

This is so Anime/Manga/Lineage2/Kirby from you, hong...

Thank you. I'm so sick of bikini-clad warriors. Some artists should be banned from drawing women...

Add me to the list of WAR-haters, I guess, based on this and that PHB cover. (Not sure what else he's done, but frankly those two pieces are enough to judge by. Ugh.)

She's a barbarian. Would you complain if she were, say, a swashbuckler and only wore a frilly pirate shirt? D&D decided long ago to support warrior-types with vastly different armor desires and requirements, and I for one am glad of it.

As for women, while your overall point is a valid one, this is a lousy example. Again, she's a barbarian. Look at the recent spectacular work on Conan done by Cary Nord, Tim Truman, and Howard Chaykin ... hell, Conan don't even wear leather over his breastage.
