[QUOTE="ArmoredSaint, post: 5865040, member: 54539"] Photorealism, please. Most of the races in D&D are more or less humanoid. I think a good case can be made that the question of how to defend the human(oid) body from weapons by sheathing it in metal plates would have been answered by humanoids on whatever fantasy world in very much the same way it was answered by humans on our own world. Thus, I feel that "real" fantasy armour should wind up looking not too differently from armour on historical Earth. To do otherwise would feel less believable to me, and would shake my immersion in any of the art. Regardless of what they decide, in my campaigns, full plate armour will always has and always will look like this: [IMG]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7065/6878777372_e7f90654f2.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
