Why do female casters always dress so skimpy?

Why do female casters always dress so skimpy?

They absorb mana through their skin. This is canon now.

If you have phenomenal cosmic power, why not look good while doing it?

Sure, that makes sense. But why do male casters look like pic related?

Artists think making them look sexy will attract an audience.

Personally I find it boring. Mainly because I've got easy access to porn.

I imagine so they can attract a party of sexually deprived male adventurers to tank for them.

Because they have terrible taste.

Also holy crap it took me way too long to find a non-nude sexy male caster, or close enough. I really need to properly sort and tag my image folders. We also need more good sexy male caster art. Especially stuff which isn't trap/crossdressing. I love that stuff, but variety is the spice of life.

To flaunt their power

The good ones look like

I'm still trying to find some decent looking sexy male casters, but it really isn't a common picture. Most of the ones I find are pseudo-barbarian, which admittedly does take up a lot of the bare male chest space in fantasy stuff.

Because they have a different idea of looking good.
Don't question wizard fashion if you aren't a wizard. It makes you look stupid.

...

...

Damn it is pretty hard. I think it's definitely because of the different standards of "sexy" we have for both genders.

...

>why do artists like drawing sexy characters?

Nobody knows.

Let me save that for future research purposes.

To make it easier to shed the waste heat from casting spells. Many male wizards use their beards as a radiator instead.

If i commanded magick i would walk around tits(dick) out all day

Bruh, if I was a wizard you can damn well bet I'd be walking around naked and casting my spells through the D. I'd be wearing LESS than those whores.

Beta male fantasies made worse by the popularity of the Hexer games.

Proper magic user, coming through.

Large mana tanks tend to generate a lot of waste heat.

This thread turned gay really fast

>come for the slutty women
>stay for the slutty men

moar?

...

I'm all for cute/sexy, either guys or girls, there should be a system that rewards mages being attractive and wearing almost nothing at all

But there is
Seduction rolls

>just mages

Gay.

How straight are you really if seeing a few male chests makes you question your sexuality?

If I recall, in 5e, both the Warlock and the Sorcerer are charisma-based mages who have potential access to an ability giving them effective always-on mage armor when they don't have any other substantial armor on. It's at least an option that functions.

...

>You will never live in a Utopian society where everyone is young, attractive, with clear, tight skin

why live?

Not gonna lie I tow the line on the sexuality thing sometimes but I'm definitely not gay

>Magic is just seducing the goddess of magic to do you a favor

There's plenty of skimpy, hot warriors though,
unless you mean more warrior traps, then I agree

A powerful enough caster can polymorph and illusion themselves into anything they wish.

Any caster that looks like a grumpy old man is either trying to look that way, or is just bad at magic.

>I'm definitely not gay
>but I toe the line sometimes
You sure convinced me there user.

No it's fine user I get a boner when I see naked women

>playing in a game right now
>party sorc is 20-something, fit, very handsome, bi, and eager to get laid
>we run into a young, rather cute but very awkward wizard
>he immediately latches onto the sorc
>romance currently blooming between them
It's really fucking cute
Congratulations, you're bi

You sure user?

If he's definitely always attracted to women then he must be at least bisexual. At least, I think that's how it works.

It's a double standard. Everyone got upset with all the wrinkley old dudes in loincloths.

y-yes

...

I just want to be a magic-user and wear armor, these robes are fucking gay.

I should be working out right fucking now.

...

...

Don't get buff, get toned. It's easier and looks better.

...

Kind of related: have any of you guys ever had romances with baddies?

You're just romancing your GM

...

...

Tried too
She just wanted to sacrifice me to the orc goddess of fertility though
One of other PCs did end up incapacitating her, tieing her up, and then we kept her though

Only the best warriors and casters don't need clothes.

Personally I prefer scantily clad to unclad. Just seems hotter

Because real-world fantasy artists A: expect people are more interested in hot chick casters than in hot dude casters, and B: figure that only women would care about wasting magical power on looking hot, whilst the men just want all the power and don't care about turning into walking bundles of beard and wrinkles.

I like the idea of Gate of Babylon censoring him.

>implying men don't want to be so hot they can get all the pussy
Broke immersion desu

I'd ask how the fuck her bikini is staying up, but she's an elf.

>Be early 30's mercenary.
>Tall, well built, well dressed.

>Nice to woman but not flirty.
>GM starts shoving the bakers late teen daughter onto character.
>She leaves baskets of cookies and bottles of cider or milk at my door whenever we're back in town.
>Decide, fuck it, repay her with flowers.
>Picnic in the wheat fields outside of town.
>Life is good.
>Nearly die next dungeon.
>Her tears stain my bedsheets and my blood stains her hands.
>Slowly recover.

>Eventually well enough for another dungeon.
>She begs me to stay, then demands I taker her with.
>Sneak her out of her fathers house at midnight.
>Give her a pistol and a knife. Tell her to always stay behind me.
>Adventure goes well, she gets smothered with recovered jewels.
>Father that bakes a lot is pissed.
>Tries to beat her.
>Bust a couple of his teeth.

that took a turn, what a great DM

To this day, I'm still a fucking cat.

At least I can still use my weapons and was able to buy custom armor, even if it cost a shit ton.

Add salt to the wound: next time we saw that fucking wizard, he turned me to stone. I spent a month in game as a fucking bookend while the party mage used her down times to reverse the spell.

Why do females dress skimpily in everyday situations in real life?

...

same reason mechwarriors pilot their mech naked

...

Wizards have to hang out in a confined box, cuddled up with a fusion generator and a bunch of laser guns, in order to do their jobs?

Why do [fictional thing that has been defined a thousand ways by different authors in different settings] always [obviously false generalization I pulled out of my ass]?

...

To get them precious (You)s.

...

It's not just casters

...

...

What are these from?

Go to a convenience store and check out the magazine rack.

What's on the covers of most of the men's magazines? Hot girls.

What's on the covers of most of the women's magazines? You guessed it, more hot girls.

There's some covers that will have men, even muscular ones. But not many. Even the news and other non-sexually specific magazines will have beautiful women on their covers.

>Men want hot women
>Women want to compete with hot women

male wizards absorb mana through their beards.

GURPS

...No joke, memes aside, GURPS has a cinematic optional rule called Bulletproof Nudity, that adds a defense bonus to characters depending on how much skin they're showing. You could totally do a campaign where the caster template has that bundled in (like taking the "absorbs mana through the skin" thing seriously) or just one where everyone has it.

This is why I like sorcerers more than wizards. I get to use magic *and* be beautiful.

That probably just means wearing robes/clothes instead of armor, rather than not wearing anything.

Well, maybe, but that's like building your barbarian to take advantage of their unarmored defense feature, and then having them wear a shirt. Technically an option, but kind of a waste.

Yeah, this.

Goddamit thread made me GAY

Sex sells. It's also a lazy way of making an otherwise boring character "interesting."

These loincloths are so distracting

Seriously I can't look away

I know right? What fucking sexist misogynistic assholes :^)

Distraction bonus to AC
