Oh no, Max broke the rules! What horrible fate will befall our hero?!

Whoops!

Rhymes with Tart.

Here is Tarsheva Longreach by di’Terlizzi, a planescape character described as a fighter.

I like di’Terlizzi’s art and was quite into the planes-punk aesthetics back then, even if this one is rather tame. And while I didn’t want to play her specifically, I wanted to play what she represents: a fighter using her head, smart, posed, experienced, lightly armoured, potentially female and if so, not so oversexualized or bad-babe-with-big-boobs (which di’Terlizzi was capable of drawing too). Seems obvious now but at the time, that was kind of a revelation for young-adult me.

I love di'Terlizzi's style, and I can't see it without immediately thinking of Planescape or Changeling: The Dreaming.

Blue dragonscale armor on Dragona of Winter (Dragonlance). I've always loved playing fighters.

diTerlizzi is my favorite dnd artist, though yeah sometimes it’s almost like he would forget to draw pants on his female characters…

Elmore, Caldwell, et al were no different.

At least it makes sense for a Sensate, but I see what you mean.
