Dungeons & Dames II: Where the Only Cheese is Cheesecake (SFW Only)

[Coplantor]

And the previous two posts prove my theory of the Geek Priorities.

GUNS! first, chicks later.

[Eldan]

See it like this: there's not much to discuss about that chick, but the weapon throws up some questions.

A wise answer. Plus, guns are cool.

[Ruinix]

u guys are totally lost.

its a SMG with a long silencer and a scope WITH a sword/bayonet.

[Yora]

(It's not a SMG. The magazine is clearly for rifle rounds.)

We guys are hopeless. :smallbiggrin:

[dgnslyr]

(It's not a SMG. The magazine is clearly for rifle rounds.)

We guys are hopeless. :smallbiggrin:

No, no, no, it's a gunblade. Gunblades don't actually fire rounds, it just uses the "gun" part to create vibrations that enhance the cutting power of the sword. This one's designed to create a rapid stream of vibrations that enhances the cutting power exponentially. You can still fire enormous lasers from a gunblade- that's different.

One example of less silly-looking D&D female armour:

The Red Knight (second on the right)

[Greenish]

The Red KnightShe can handle my tactics any time.

[hamishspence]

Another one- more for "formidable-looking female casters" (technically fey):

Armour that avoids being excessively curvy:

Not quite as good as The Red Knight- but at least has a helmet on:

Armoured- but a little spiky:

strange... I have SO muc appriciation for the female form, being a artist* (and a gentleman-perv) but as soon as they out the stripper armour on I just feel rage.

[FFKonoko]

A bunch more along similar lines as my last. Again, hopefully no repeats, varying level of cheesecakeyness and not, and a couple non-girls mixed in. Hopefully good, and hopefully none of them will mysteriously disappear from the hosting.

[REDACTED] :smallredface:

Wingphile away! Or should that be something more like pennaephile? alarumophile?

Edit: There is very little decent armour on show here, but a fair lot of them are relatively decently clothed at least....others, not so much.

Edit: >.> Damn you, imagebam. You have such nice small thumbnails, easy gallery system, decent uploading and good speed...why must you have so many porny adverts. :c And Adblock, you are too good at your job.

[Serpentine]

None of the mace ridiculousness has anything to do with nor invalidates my point.

They're adult White-bellied Sea Eagles. Native to South East Asia and Australia.

[Serpentine]

Those are some sinister sea eagles.

Interesting choice...

Actually I'd say that was weirdly musical. But then I have listened to some weird music in my time.

Also, Anime Peach with chained bowser? I actually did chuckle at that one. Very nice.

[DragoonWraith]

There was a bunch of pictures that I wanted to put up, from luis ryo, valejo and others, but it seems like they generally had nipples showing somewhere, or a bare ass, etc. I'm less sure if some of these ones are ok:
The general rule is, if you're not sure, don't, but I don't see any problems with those.

On the other hand, your host site has plenty of ads featuring topless girls, which could get you in trouble. You should link to the image directly instead of to the site's page on them, to avoid those ads. Or just include the images directly in spoilers.

Hmm. I didn't think an armor lover would like that pic. The armor is quite obviously unused and the soles of her shoes are unsuited to fighting. Then again, I'm one of those picky live action fighters. :smalltongue:

What are you talking about??? That is clearly a brand new suit of +3 armour, and the boots are enchanted Boots of Spider Climbing! :)

Yeah, did look a bit odd, but I still like the picture.

[hamishspence]

I've had a look back to see what 3.0-3.5 pics are fanservicey, yet haven't been posted yet. I've tried to err on the side of caution- but if it's still iffy, tell me and I'll delete.

well she AINT armoured. but at least she's clothed

[Serpentine]

Yeah, that's not really the best example of his "sensible women" stuff. It's just his most recent, and I've already posted most of the rest. Here's a better one, and one of my favourites:http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs38/i/2008/321/e/d/Windswept_Beauty_by_staino.jpgAnd a dwarf for good measure:http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs33/i/2008/303/a/a/Female_Dwarf_by_staino.jpg
He does plenty of "scantily-clad women" stuff, for example:http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs45/i/2009/145/b/c/Cute_Cave_Girl_by_staino.jpg
http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs19/i/2007/309/b/4/Dark_And_Light_by_staino.jpgbut like I said, he does about the same with his men:http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs34/i/2008/303/4/2/Vunak_by_staino.jpg
http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs21/i/2007/264/8/2/Egyptian_by_staino.jpgso I figure it's fair.

[Shademan]

Mmhyes. I approve of this artist

[shadow_archmagi]

Err, that first image looks like a decent top except that it has a boob-hole.

Is there a better word for that?

It looks like his characters live in a world where the armorers only make chainmail bikinis but the characters themselves choose to wear shirts and pants so that the armor isn't completely revealling.

[Serpentine]

Looks like a fancy half-corset thing to me. Something like this:

Thanks, someone just earlier pointed it out too. =/ Forget there was that earlier post with tons of pictures that used imagebam too...ugh.

Anyway! I took out the pictures from the previous posts, think those two are the only ones, and put all the pictures, and a couple others, up onto imageshack. Thumbnail system sucks, but no NSFW banners, I trust.

[Serpentine]

Though it's completely impractical for fighting in. :smallwink:Not really, or at least not necessarily. I originally looked for one from Gallery Serpentine which is advertised as a "movement corset", for dancing in. Unfortunately I couldn't just post the image. Here's the product (http://www.galleryserpentine.com.au/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=652), anyway.
Also, corsets don't have to be made out of super-stiff material, nor do they have to be worn very tight. Basically, that outfit isn't very good armour, but then it probably isn't meant to be and I think it's a fine fantasy costume *shrug*

[Yora]

For unarmored fighting, it doesn't seem to be obstructive.
Of course, if made of plate, it's far worth than real plate armor. :smallbiggrin:

It is that; I don't disagree. In fact, constrained torso movement isn't critical to some fighting styles; I used to reenact late Roman legionary combat and lorica segmentata is extremely constraining (though not tight on you like a corset is), but it doesn't matter because at the end of the day the Roman military style is all about the shield wall.

That said, presently I fence heavy rapier in the round, which is similar to what she is evidently armed for, and anything that prevents me from making a body void is something I don't want on my person when fighting. My girlfriend loves her corsetry and also fences, but doesn't combine the two for the same reason. *Shrug* Anyway, I suppose it all depends on fighting style, but in general an unarmored combatant wants to be as mobile as possible.

[Hurlbut]

Awesome. :smallcool:
She's a lot less nasty than 3.5e medusas....that is pathfinder right?well the Copyright said WotC. It could just be a Paizo artwork. Their artwork, regardless of the ruleset they're in, are above par.

[hamishspence]

It came from the Paizo gallery site- which is mostly Wayne Reynolds. Who is a pretty good artist, though not everyone likes his style.

[Marnath]

I like most of his work, but there is something to be said for him not having the best grasp on what elbows and knees are, especially when he draws the barbarian chick.

[hamishspence]

Yup.

Some of these have been linked before already- however, my favorites from that site:

A fairly nice Medusa pic.

My, that creature sure has come a long way from having so terrible a visage that gazing her way would turn you to stone :smallcool:

Speaking of Medusa, here's the culprit to her looks:

[hamishspence]

I wouldn't know- I've never played Pathfinder. And the pic isn't labelled as anything in particular.

[Tiki Snakes]

I just want to say, expanding a spoiler for every single image in this thread makes it a lot more hard work than it was when people were posting several images per spoiler.

Nice to (after some clicking, at least) see a bit of Brom though. :smallsmile:

[Yora]

Yeah, I thought so as well yesterday. :smallbiggrin:
The spoiler are mostly there you can follow the conversation more easily. Onw per post is enough for that.

[hamishspence]

I prefer it because it prevents the thread from being horribly wide.

Still, I can see that other people might think differently.

God love Iggwilv. If only there was LOTS of art of her, instead of the like five pics we have. :smallsigh: Same with the Dark Lord, Graz'zt.

[Serpentine]

It came from the Paizo gallery site- which is mostly Wayne Reynolds. Who is a pretty good artist, though not everyone likes his style.Apparently I like some of his work. Based on that stack, it looks like I like his demonic work, and to a lesser extent his monsters. I dislike his chunky no-elbowed arms, and his rosey button noses.

edit: Huh. Even Devian Tart doesn't have much Iggwilv. Here's what I could find:http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs23/i/2007/329/6/0/Iggwilv_and_Graz__zt_Set_by_apeacockpersian.jpg

[The Tygre]

That last one... is it from something?

[Serpentine]

Of mine? Well, that's Graz'zt, I think, and the information said something about the artist's game.

[Prime32]

I love that third one. Beautiful.I think it was in a Dragon article on summoning-related spells developed by Iggwilv.

[zvbxrpl]

edit: Huh. Even Devian Tart doesn't have much Iggwilv.

Tell me about it. I found that picture on the whim of searching Iggwilv on DA. I, well, found that picture and your pictures and not a whole lot else.

I'm surprised, because between her evil grin, green makeup, and that little stitched-together number she wears, she hits many of my buttons.

[Greenish]

Is the last one the pathfinder gnome hamish? The face looks like it but she's so bundled up i can't tell.I seem to recall seeing it in Paizo's page titled as a gnome, yeah.

I do love Wayne Reynolds, and the PF iconic paladin is perhaps the awesomenest armoured woman ever (despite the Breasts-plate).

[DragoonWraith]

I like his work too. Even the Barbarian - I really like that image, even if those bracer things are a ridiculous attempt to cover up his weakness at drawing elbows and knees, I still like them.

[hamishspence]

A few from Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk- the first and the last are Iggwilv pics-

I'm surprised, because between her evil grin, green makeup, and that little stitched-together number she wears, she hits many of my buttons.
See? I am not alone dammit! Iggwilv=damn hot, and that's that. It doesn't hurt that Graz'zt is like my personal hero. :smallamused:

Serpyserpserps: Thanks for the larger image of the summoning of Graz'zt. I've been looking for a nice version of that pic for awhile, so I appreciate it. Also, that super-fluffy looking version of Graz'zt in the last pic... while I like it (mmmm, delicious Graz'zt), it kinda feels out of character almost, too nice looking. Still, thanks for that too. :smallwink:

[Mystic Muse]

A lot of those look fairly similar.Doesn't look like Tripod.com likes hotlinking.

[DragoonWraith]

It horrifies me that anyone as talented as he would host anything on Tripod. I thought that thing had died years ago.

[zvbxrpl]

The pictures hosted on Tripod were from a couple of sites ago. His new(er) site is being all complainy. I guess they don't, like, work and stuff. Damn. I'll try to replace what I can.

[Ravens_cry]

For certain tastes only. SFW, but . . .for certain tastes.

Dude what the hell a female mind flayer what the crap dude like what?

[Ravens_cry]

Dude what the hell a female mind flayer what the crap dude like what?
All the Illithids in the audience need something to appreciate, don't ya know.

[The Rose Dragon]

But illithids are sexless. They reproduce by assimilation of humanoids.

[Mnemnosyne]

The forehead and the bulges at the sides of the head kind of make it a lot less attractive to me. I admit though, it's probably more illithid-y that way.. If it were smooth I'd like it a lot more, though, like this one.

http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/6657/21277dungeonsanddragons.jpg (http://img196.imageshack.us/i/21277dungeonsanddragons.jpg/)


Although the eyes are more 'attractive' on this one though, I actually prefer the accurate eyes on the earlier one. Just wish the forehead were smoother and less bulgy at the sides.

[Serpentine]

But illithids are sexless. They reproduce by assimilation of humanoids....some of which are female. It says their lower-bits fall off (if I recall correctly), but it doesn't say anything about boobs.

[Yora]

I had the impression the only thing that is reused is the bones, with all soft tissue being consumed and recycled.

[Tiki Snakes]

I understand the image was done for a magazine of some sort, actually. A quick check reminds me; A pinup image for a french magazine called 'Black Box'.

Kind of makes me wonder what else the magazine gets up to. :smallsmile:

Don't worry, I don't think that he's seriously suggesting there should be such a thing. :smallwink:

[Leon]

On Illithids - Rule 34.

And now for something completely different

[Serpentine]

I had the impression the only thing that is reused is the bones, with all soft tissue being consumed and recycled.My understanding is that the tadpole eats out the brain and inserts itself there. It forces its tentacles out of its mouth, and the body undergoes a transformation that involves the genitals falling off - what else it involves I don't know.

[dsmiles]

My understanding is that the tadpole eats out the brain and inserts itself there. It forces its tentacles out of its mouth, and the body undergoes a transformation that involves the genitals falling off - what else it involves I don't know.

Yeah, I don't remember anything about losing secondary sexual characteristics.

[SilverLeaf167]

Maybe I should house-rule that revealing clothing gives a bonus on Charisma checks against (most) people of the opposite gender? :smalltongue: Exceptions naturally exist... (still traumatized from the Bikinillithid)

[hamishspence]

This one's a lot prettier than the bikinillithid- though it shares a slightly similar theme, and while still SFW, is a bit more risque:

http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs21/f/2007/247/b/6/Cecaelia_by_GENZOMAN.jpg

And the place I saw it:

http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78370&highlight=undersea

[DragoonWraith]

Her hips are not nearly large enough to give room for all of those tentacles to attach to her body. Seriously, like half of them are apparently floating in the sea behind her...

Still, it's a pretty cool image.

[Avilan the Grey]

Her hips are not nearly large enough to give room for all of those tentacles to attach to her body. Seriously, like half of them are apparently floating in the sea behind her...

Still, it's a pretty cool image.

I disagree; if you look how the four front ones are attached they split just below the hip. It looks to me like the other four is basically "two per cheek", probably also splitting a few inches out, so to speak so you only have to have room for four tentacles total, and that you do have room for.

[hamishspence]

I only count seven visible tentacles.

There is a Seven Armed Octopus.

EDIT: I've spotted the eighth one- it's draped over her shoulder.

[dsmiles]

I only count seven visible tentacles.

There is a Seven Armed Septopus.

Hexapod...

[dsmiles]

Hexapod...

That's not where I was going...

[hamishspence]

I was wondering- does the Hordes of the Abyss pic of Zuggtmoy count as SFW? It doesn't exactly have nipples, but it does have something where a nipple would be:

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ag/20060605a&page=3

[dsmiles]

I would think so. It's like the "Wookie Rule."

[Umael]

Disturbed because it was attractive? Or disturbed because it was repulsive?

Imagine you are laying on a beach, watching the water, and you see her slowly emerge.

At first, you see a very attractive woman. Hair, eyes, the entire head, shoulders, torsoo- hello! naked!, down to the hips ohmigaud, she's got tentacles!

I have a thing about tentacles.

It's not a fetish.

If anything, it's an anti-fetish.

Given that it is normal for people to mentally undress and fantasize about potential partners, especially attractive ones, I go from "hey, hotness!" to "gez-gah! NO!" is about 0.0015 seconds flat.

Juxaposing this is the fact that all I have to do is look up, and I am reminded that she is half a very attractive woman, and I have a this barrage of conflicting emotionally impulses.

So do answer your question, take a good look at her yourself, and then ask yourself: "Do you want to mate with her?"

[Snake-Aes]

So do answer your question, take a good look at her yourself, and then ask yourself: "Do you want to mate with her?"

I would admit to it under judgment-impairing influence. But I don't consider myself standard for that type of stuff.

*SNIP* Is that a cell phone she have in her hand? :smalltongue:

Nevermind then.

I believe it is. :smalleek:

[Math_Mage]

Is that a cell phone she have in her hand? :smalltongue:

It is, per the image URL. Intentional anachronism fun.

[zvbxrpl]

I would consider the picture of Zuggtmoy as falling under anime anatomy, and therefore arguably SFW. Ask a mod, though. Besides, I wouldn't really call it sexy.

Anyway, a few pictures as well, to stay on topic.

Actually I was thinking about the "reproduction compatiblity chart" in BoEF. Dragons and Nymphs are the only creatures with "Yes" to all other creatures in the chart (humans, at least, only do it with 3/4 of the total)

#2 The one hanging down towards the seabed
#3 The one next to #1, in front
#4 Only visible as a small piece of shadow between #1 and #3
#5 The one in the center, starting behind #3
#6 The one next to #5
#7 The one starting behind #6, bent upwards in an arch
#8 The one furthest in the back


Edit: I must say after looking at the art from actual game modules in this thread, I think it is obvious that WotC needs higher budget for artists. They are all of much worse quality than most things posted by third-party / amateur artists.

Reduntant wording is redundant. :smallbiggrin: Anyway, are they still using the same artists that illustrated D&D back in the 80ies? Or are they genetically breeding artists that draw in the same style?

...I must say I like most of the illustrations for 4e BETTER, but they are still not awesome. D&D source material should have awesome illustrations.

[Greenish]

Is it just me, or does the writing look like it says 'BLT Sorceress'?It doesn't look like "B" to me, more like a triangle. (It's supposed to be "alt. sorceress", I guess.)

The artist is Rebecca Guay. She does a lot of work for Magic: the Gathering, and would occasionally show up in D&D manuals, mostly in the years surrounding the update to 3.5. I love her work to death, and collect Magic cards she illustrates.

Naturally, I would be glad to do an image-dump of her work.

None of the ones hosted on purpleglitter.com are loading. Just so you know.

So I see. I am having crap luck with websites this week. I'll see what I can do, but with everything already there, I sort of don't worry so much.

@Volthawk: I hope it says BLT Sorceress. I'm kinda hungry, and could use a BLT right about now.

@Avilan: I personally preferred when Tony DiTerlizzi was doing the artwork. As I recall he did one of the Monstrous Compendium Annuals, the whole thing (I think it was the second one).

I don't know if you're on Facebook, but here's a link (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=576031166#!/album.php?aid=69124&id=576031166) to some of his art.

[Eldan]

DiTerlizzi especially did almost all of Planescape. I think I posted a collection of women drawn by him in the first thread.

[hamishspence]

The artist is Rebecca Guay. She does a lot of work for Magic: the Gathering, and would occasionally show up in D&D manuals, mostly in the years surrounding the update to 3.5. I love her work to death, and collect Magic cards she illustrates.


I've noticed that pics that look like they're by her rarely have a name credit next to them in the books.

And the 3.0 mermaid pic, which had a name credit next to it in the 3.0 MM, didn't have a name next to it in the 3.5 MM.

http://4chanarchive.org/images/s/9644102/1277149352929.jpgThat armour makes me cringe. It seems like a waste that they were prepared to actually cover some of the skin, but then settled for a chainmail bikini over a grey shirt.

[Hadrian_Emrys]

Wow. That was a silly mistake. The joys of sleepy posting. =P

In any case, I agree that the armor isn't the best in that shot. To be honest though, I'm just thrilled that I could find some non-stripperific armor on the female form.

[Greenish]

In any case, I agree that the armor isn't the best in that shot. To be honest though, I'm just thrilled that I could find some non-stripperific armor on the female form.The armour is stripperific, even though they didn't want the woman to be. That's a wasted opportunity!

[Shademan]

think of it this way: she's and adventurer who didnt have any armour, then found a strip of scale mail on a skeleton. So she improvised.
thats why it does not cover everything. Logic! right?

[Greenish]

think of it this way: she's and adventurer who didnt have any armour, then found a strip of scale mail on a skeleton. So she improvised.
thats why it does not cover everything. Logic! right?It still raises the question of why the skeleton was wearing a prop from a low-budget fantasy movie(s) instead of proper armour. :smallamused:

[Shademan]

ecause the rest of the armour was destroyed by owlbears and spleenmockers.
OBVIOUSLY!

[Mnemnosyne]

Somebody had just enough Mithril/Adamantine to make part of a suit of armor out of it. They filled in the rest with regular steel. It rusted.

[Avilan the Grey]

I have some more pics of said person. Pretty sure its a female.

The facial features makes me 99% sure it's a woman. The shape of the eyes, the nose and the curve of the mouth as well as the soft cheek.

-if the owl was from beyond the beyond, perhaps. :smallconfused: I don't even know what kind of creature has wings like that. :smallsmile:

As for the armor-that-isn't-really: yeah... I restate that it is not the most functional set of gear I've ever seen, but what keeps it from being truly stripperific is the fact that she opted to wear stuff under the scale tunic. Otherwise, I'd have never posted the thing. Few things in fantasy art infuriates me more than the hybridization of fan service and armor. If you are going to be eye candy, wear something soft and/or sheer. If you are going into battle, wear something that will actually keep your vitals intact. How are more people NOT annoyed by the thoughtless, shallow mockery of both styles of adornment? [/rant]

[ShadowFighter15]

If you romance Zevran as a male warden, the epilogue may refer to you as "the woman he loves".

Another one from the Monster Manual (should be OK):

http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG183.jpg

[Ormur]

I can understand the requirement not to show any of the private parts but everything up to that seems to be okay (kind of arbitrary though). It makes sense in that it's the sort of artwork you get away with showing in public and since the forum is open to kids younger than 18 I fully understand that but I feel the SFW tag is personally inaccurate. Despite the lack of nipples I'd never really dare to get caught looking at a thread about nothing but scantly clad women at work. Not because I think I'd get fired but because it's in public. Scantly clad women or even more explicit than that as illustration with an article or something is okay but when it's nothing but that it gets a little embarrassing.

[hamishspence]

The site itself might be a bit too frivolous for some workplaces.

I never check the thread at work anyway- just in case.

[Prime32]

What did you expect? He has pedobeard!"Flame bless Pontiff Daran, for she has done more work to expand the faithful than any Speaker before her!"

[Snake-Aes]

"Flame bless Pontiff Daran, for she has done more work to expand the faithful than any Speaker before her!"

I just noticed what that guy is supposed to be... oh my XD THE IRONY!

[DragoonWraith]

Explanation for those of us who don't have that book and/or don't want to go digging for it?

[Yora]

Well he's a cleric of a church led by a 12 year old girl-pope.

[Volthawk]

Well he's a cleric of a church led by a 12 year old girl-pope.

Oh....

:smalleek:

[hamishspence]

In the actual book- there's two lines of dialogue superimposed on that picture:

"Surely it is only the benevolence of the Silver Flame that allows children to live in such a place," Marcus said.

Petra sighed. "That, and foolish priests who don't realize they're being robbed."

(The child at the front of the pic has just stolen his purse.)

[Greenish]

Well he's a cleric of a church led by a 12 year old girl-pope.Who is an 18th level cleric when within her cathedral.

In a setting where even mid-level NPCs are rare.

[DragoonWraith]

I thought everything in Eberron that had 18th level was either locked away under the earth, was hiding out in the Demon Wastes, or was a dragon?

[hamishspence]

Nearly everything. There are a few exceptions. A 20th level druid awakened tree, for example.

[Greenish]

I thought everything in Eberron that had 18th level was either locked away under the earth, was hiding out in the Demon Wastes, or was a dragon?Not quite. The leader of nearly all druid sects is a level 20 awakened greatpine, which probably makes him the highest ECL character in Khorvaire.

Several of the Inspired overlords are levels 15-20, too.

Finally, there's a level 19 (or was it 18?) elf commoner in Sharn.

[Volthawk]

Finally, there's a level 19 (or was it 18?) elf commoner in Sharn.

Wait, what?

[DragoonWraith]

Meh, in the Eberron in my head, I don't like anyone in Khorvaire being higher level then Merrix d'Cannith. Just because I'm pretty convinced he's the coolest dude in the setting.

[Greenish]

Wait, what?Elves live for several centuries, you'll have time to weave many, many baskets, not to even mention the RP exp for being in character 24/7. :smalltongue:


Meh, in the Eberron in my head, I don't like anyone in Khorvaire being higher level then Merrix d'Cannith. Just because I'm pretty convinced he's the coolest dude in the setting.Meh, he's only level 12, but in Eberron level and (political) power don't always correlate.

[hamishspence]

Mustn't forget Mordain the Fleshweaver- 18th level wizard (transmuter).

He's hiding out in Droam rather than the Demon Wastes.

[Prime32]

There's a prisoner somewhere who's the Speaker of the Shadow in the Flame, a low/mid-level cleric who gets the same powerboost from being in Flamekeep as Jaela (making them epic). It's the same prison with that guy who's implied to be the real King Kaius III.

[Marnath]

Take the Eberron NPC discussion somewhere else guys, we don't need to get this locked. That being said, whats creepy about that clerics face? It struck me as more ugly than creepy. Whats mage chick doing, giving the kiddies a magic lightshow or something?

:smalleek:

While she's lawful good, her second-in-command, who runs the church politically, is lawful evil.

And as he's a guy with a pedobeard...

http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/5n_gallery/90023.jpg

It's not a mistake, in D&D they are very clearly called medusas.

[Archpaladin Zousha]

And that's simply not correct. Medusa was an individual who, along with her sisters Stheno and Euryale, comprised the Gorgon species. To call them Medusas applies the name of an individual to the entire species. It'd be like calling dogs Snoopies or cats Garfields.

[Reynard]

Exactly. Medusa was a single member of her race. Whoever did their entry in the MMs screwed up. Thus, it's a mistake.

Bah, ninja.

[zvbxrpl]

It's not a mistake, in D&D they are very clearly called medusas.

Yes. That's why I said it. Because that's the D&D terminology. Not because I was tired and stupidly typed something I'm actually really pedantic about correcting. Not at all. Nope.

[Leon]

And that's simply not correct. Medusa was an individual who, along with her sisters Stheno and Euryale, comprised the Gorgon species. To call them Medusas applies the name of an individual to the entire species. It'd be like calling dogs Snoopies or cats Garfields.

And WotC doesn't care for what real mythology was - Medusa = bipedal snakehead creatures and Gorgon = Stone Bull creatures

[Hadrian_Emrys]

And WotC doesn't care for what real mythology was - Medusa = bipedal snakehead creatures and Gorgon = Stone Bull creatures

Actually, Medusa is but the first name of one of the Gorgon sisters. Her screwed up appearance was simply what happened when she seduced Poseidon and defiled one of Athena's temples with their... -joining. Now her noggin is naught but a permanent shield ornament for the goddess.

An attractive dwarf? Blasphemy! Good thing the beard is optional, I guess.

An attractive dwarf? Blasphemy! Good thing the beard is optional, I guess.

I believe only Dragonlance uses bearded dwarven women, I could be wrong. But all the Realms and Greyhawk pictures I've seen have beardless dwarven women. And some of the newer (4e) dwarven women are above average in attractiveness.

[Tiki Snakes]

And that's simply not correct. Medusa was an individual who, along with her sisters Stheno and Euryale, comprised the Gorgon species. To call them Medusas applies the name of an individual to the entire species. It'd be like calling dogs Snoopies or cats Garfields.

Given that the description of the Gorgons varied even at the time, this isn't necessarily wrong at all.

Because the other Gorgons were at the very least immortal. They might also have had wings, claws and tusks.

DnD 'Medusas' do not have wings, or tusks, and claws would be pushing it. They also, to my knowledge, aren't immortal. In that sense, they much more closely resemble depictions of The Medusa. Also, to my knowledge, it was only Medusa herself of the three that could petrify with a glance, a key trait of the DnD monster.

Simply put, the name isn't wrong, because they are a species named for the Gorgon Medusa whom they take after in appearance and traits. Perhaps it would be a flavourful addition to give them an ancestor myth revolving around the progenitor of their species, who was originally something else but was cursed with her form and her powers by vengeful gods.

The same gods eventually pitted a warrior against her so as to destroy her utterly, but the drops of blood spilled as he cut off her head turned into snakes and escaped. Those snakes in time became the children of a new race, in her image alone. Hateful towards (mankind) and resentful of the gods who perpetrated these injustices and cruelties on their Mother, this is what fuels the Medusas' fierce and merciless attitude to outsiders.

Hmm? :smallsmile:

[The Glyphstone]

Actually, Medusa is but the first name of one of the Gorgon sisters. Her screwed up appearance was simply what happened when she seduced Poseidon and defiled one of Athena's temples with their... -joining. Now her noggin is naught but a permanent shield ornament for the goddess.

I thought the myth was that it was all Poseidon's idea, and she - eh - didn't really get much input in the matter. Athena couldn't exactly punish Poseidon for defiling her temple, so she took it out on the girl instead.

Since all mythology is based on interpretations of natural phenomena or revisions of history, I have a theory that the whole Poseidon-Medusa myth was started because a priest of Poseidon raped a priestress of Athena. The priestess of Athena was named Medusa and she was well known for being beautiful and had lots of curls in her hair.

It wouldn't be hard to further extrapolate that the priest disfiguring Medusa during or after the rape. As a disfigured, ugly priestess, Medusa's face could have shocked and horrified anyone who looked at it, especially if they remembered how beautiful she was. One story about how Athena punished her own priestess by sleeping with Poseidon, and you have the political backing to declare the temple of Athena desecrated, allowing the priest of Poseidon the opportunity to take it over.

Tautology aside... why?

[Greenish]

Tautology aside... why?Why do people tell stories? Well, just for fun is one (this is an RPG forum after all, that's what we do), or perhaps to teach an aesop. ("Getting raped is the woman's fault and she deserves a punishment", no matter how horrid it sounds to modern ear, could easily been meant by the ancient greek.)

After all, it's no more far fetched than speculating that after playing Chinese whispers for over two millennia the story would still have all the details easily recognizable.

[dgnslyr]

I believe only Dragonlance uses bearded dwarven women, I could be wrong. But all the Realms and Greyhawk pictures I've seen have beardless dwarven women. And some of the newer (4e) dwarven women are above average in attractiveness.



Dwarf Fortress has beards mandatory. After all, it would be unfair to deprive half the race means of smoothing and engraving stone, fishing, and diplomacy.

That is a better explanation than just, "they made it up to make it up."

*shrug* I've heard/read both versions. Either way, the point remains. It strikes me as curious that the first generation of Olympians were all sex offenders, but the sons were not (to the best of my recollection anyway).

Easy there. I was not discrediting your take, just expressing dissatisfaction with what little you initially gave.


*shrug* I've heard/read both versions. Either way, the point remains. It strikes me as curious that the first generation of Olympians were all sex offenders, but the sons were not (to the best of my recollection anyway).

If by first generation you mean Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, etc., than yes. But then, they were gods. Gods could have sex with other gods and there was no danger of incest*. Gods could change shape and played with mortals in ways that make our SIM characters enjoy a virtual heaven (even after the ladder is deleted from the swimming pool after they're in it).

(* Or was there? Could Hephaestus be the Greek lesson warning about incest?)

Of the "second-generation", the only rejoiner I have is Heracles, who wasn't a sex offender, but took at least one woman back as a trophy to be his slave. Other than that... your recollection seems solid.



Anywho, here's some Star Wars shots:
