The portraits are pretty good indeed... Thanks to pritchke for providing them, and to Dundee Slaytern for converting them into usable format (although truth to tell, I've just downloaded the converted portraits and have yet to have a look at them)!

Hmmm... Babes in bras, boots and bikinis bash baddies. Ever notice how guys need to armor plate every squre inch, while the gals take on the same opponents wearing, er, basically nothing? I am a solid power gamer, and like an even Male-Female balance; but, from a roleplay perspective, I could never bring myself to take along a party member that looked like she was prepped for the Miss America swimsuit competion.
Nevertheless, I downloaded the files to my jump drive, Dundee; and am looking forward to opening them up sometime this weekend. There was a Ranger-like lass that might have barely (no pun intended) enough clothing to be considered for duty. -------------------- What's a party, without a song? Bards ROCK! Party On!! |

What is really scary is Dundees photos are almost identical to mine with the exception of a few of the smaller head shots. I downloaded them to see if I liked any of his better than mine but there was hardly any difference.
It is because great minds do think alike ![]() Actually it is more likely due to the fact that there is not alot you can do in terms of cropping to get the best pictiure since they are quit tall compared to there width. The Ranger shot was my favorite as well, but I liked them all except for the Red sheets one with the spear. It looks like she is trying to seduce the monsters of the dale maybe she could be used as a bard though. [ 02-09-2005, 09:53 PM: Message edited by: pritchke ] |

Nick seems to be right on that point. Maybe DND monsters are all males and automatically get slowed when these female characters (warriors???) attack. That must make up plenty for the loss of armour...

sorry ZFR, got carried away. where can these portraits be accessed? what about screen shots and forgotten realms' scenic beauty? I've decided to dedicate my desktop to the forgotton realms.

Anyway, my best advice is: DOWNLOAD TOTLM!! If you have dial-up and cant download it all at once try Kazaa. That's where I got mine from.

The ranger girl is indeed one of the best, although personally, I also like an elven girl with a glowing blade (3rd portrait) – a good portrait for a warrior-mage (who don’t wear armor because it interferes with spellcasting). The rest of the portraits are pretty good too, although the lack of armor (and much of clothes) will force you to turn to non-standard defensive measures like various Bracers of AC and Rings of Protection instead of mundane armor, if you are going to equip them according to their portraits, that’s it.
Oh, and by the way, of what race is a priestess from the last (7th) portrait? A very pale Moon Elf or an Air Genasi?

My favourite was actually the 7th one. No high heels, and some form of protection. The Cleric one with the battle hammer was nice too, but unless those are magical see-through silk armour +50, she ain't going to last long in any real battle.
There is a website out there that talks about this issue. It is stated that in all RPGs, women have certain zones of invulnerability. They require no protection on these zones as they will never, ever, get scratched, nicked, cut, burnt, etc... on these zones. |
