I got the joke.
Here's an armored human.
Requesting swordmages in nonarmor.
Or swordsmen in nonarmor.
Or nonarmored people studying ancient texts.
I don't know why it's so hard to find a picture for my unarmored Runeseeker, but this is something like the third thread I'm trying.
Maybe? He has a sword in the sheath.
Perhaps this?
Surprisingly tough ask.
Not quite, and yeah. For some reason even though unarmored dex fighters exist there's very little in the way of art for them. I realize it'd be more efficient to use leather armor since there's no dex penalty, but my character is more of a traveling acheologist and I don't see why he would wear armor. I'm also trying to downplay him being a Runeseeker at first, since in-game he stole his first runed item from a museum and is traveling incognito years later, meaning I'd rather no splashy shows of magic to tip other players off. The only pictures I can find of "some dude reading a scroll/ancient text" are all old wizard fogies. The only pictures I can find of "unarmored sword fighter" are armored sword fighters.
...
This guy may look a bit too middle eastern and has some armor, but looks like a swordmage. The most swordsmen I can find without armor look more like rogues or fencers.
...
Seconded.
...
I'd be ok with a fencer at this point, long as it's not the flamboyant "My name's Inigo Mcruffles!" I can always shoop the sword to something else, or crop it out entirely.
