What's the most impractical git up for adventure and provide an example

This is likely what nobility thinks adventurers dress like. The fashion trends emulating the stereotype reach adventurers... who, being fashion conscious, emulate the style

Isn't it better to voice what you like and dislike? Isn't the secret of Veeky Forums that there are no hugboxes here, and that creating a thread gives you no special protections, permissions, or expectations?

Where did you come from? Reddit?

Hell, I don't even have any particular complaint about this thread, but if you want a place where the only people who are allowed to post are people who agree with you, you're going to have to go back.

>There is no difference between saying your opinion and shitposting
Go with your pasta elsewhere faggot

You need to be naked for most rituals anyhow, so less steps on your part.

The breeze is nice

That's not armor, he's just a Half-Pangolin. Fucking racist.

Not either of them, but you can fuck off. If I want to come into a thread and shitpost because I was irritated by OP, I'm going to because I can and I'm going to enjoy my anger while I do it. Sure, I could ignore it and I usually do, but sometimes some poor fucker needs to be shit on because that's life. It happens to me, it happens to you, it happens to everyone. At least I'm shitposting to get out my frustrations out, then throwing bottles at kids and slashing tires. Yes, the last two examples are extremes, but you get my idea. Rather release the anger over the internet where no one gets hurt, then do so in real life and hurt an innocent because of a bad mood.

When I slash tires I just tape pictures of Saul Hudson on the wheel well

This
But Don t forget to sage. And avoid making people respond to your post, if possible

I remember a thread awhile ago talked about a kingdom that had the royalty wearing the grandiose armor (boobplate, codpeice, etc) as a way to have both practical and impractical armor coexist.

HAHAHA!! Good one!

Even if you sage, OP gets to self-bump.

I wonder if he can even lift his arms up

Why would it matter? He can use his legs instead.

Issue is voicing it in an argumentative way/fishing for responses not only keeps the thread up longer than just reporting/ignoring would but also encourages further shitposting lowering the quality of the board on a whole
That's not to say you shouldn't say "I don't like thing", just that you need to make sure you're not shitposting unintentionally/intentionally unless you want the thread to stick around

I remember that, one thing I thought wasn't stated enough was that with magic you can get a LOT of leeway in armor designs that just wouldn't hold together in real life, some of them might even be semi-functional due to enchantments, so fashion may be WAY out there compared to real life

He's got that odd not!Scythe thing, I'm wondering if he can even use it or just hold it menacingly

It keep stuff out and cover a large area. The only down side is that it very heavy most likely immobile and you need to staff a lot of troops to cover long wall.

Shit.

First off, nobody cares about your shitty ass opinion and if people already agree with your opinion then there's no reason to weigh in on the issue further since people have already decided whether or not [thing] is the best/worst thing ever.

Second off, by saying "I don't like thing," you're encouraging anons who do like thing to engage you to "prove" why your opinion is "wrong" while at the same time, encouraging trolls to falseflag on both sides to keep the arguments going while netting Ebin gets and (you)'s along the way.

Lastly, if the topic was particularly heated, trolls will post the same topic over and over again because they know that if they do, people will respond to it while leaving serviceable threads in the dust.

The only way to make sure that a thread you don't like doesn't appear again is to ignore it, hide it, and report it. Don't even sage, just pretend it doesn't exist and let it float to the bottom of the catalog.

Also, if you find yourself getting angry over a particular topic over and over again, use the filter system.

It automatically hides any thread/comment that contains the word that you're filtering and it's something that all Veeky Forums users have access to by default in the settings tab.

The moar you know.

Probably has good elemental resistances.

If you don't like it you could probably build a house out of it.

Metal alloys interfere with magic.Yes, armor helps against spells.

Cristal rings can create magic force fields that protect the body, the better the crafter, the closer the force field is to the skin. People can wear clothes underneath the protection, if its from bad quality, or over it if that's not the case.

Fighting with them is extremely comfortable as they are almost weightless so they allow for maximum mobility, have the same protection against attacks that armor has (depending on its quality) and can also offer limited protection against elements.

People that wear clothes while wearing such protection do so only because of decorum, hiding such protection or plain vanity.

Now I hear faggots yell "then why use fucking armor?" prices, scarcity and protection against magic.

Pajama clothes.

Slashing damage to head-butts
Stabbing damage to twerks.

Ok, I laughed at that one. Good job, user.

I'm not super clear on all the rules for self-bumping yet, but yeah; that was a disappointing discovery.

I never got this. Knights are allegedly a staple of heroic fantasy, but nobody plays one because they're impractical as fuck having to ask their party to dress them and being unable to take advantage of their mounted abilities most of the time the party dives into a dungeon. They're like a paladin, but without magic. You're playing a fallen paladin.

Cavalier were the most broken shit in AD&D. I mean, I guess Paladins were worse, because they retroactively became a subclass of Cavalier isntead of remaining a subclass of Fighter. But man, Cavalier were bullshit.

>inb4 depends on the setting

D&D's rules since at least 3rd have made knight characters who are not paladins unwieldy. It is unfortunate how poorly balanced and unloved they are.

Other systems and settings favor knightly builds more realistically, or at least in a more balanced way.

It's pretty much a problem of "Have you tried not playing D&D"

Good face protection.
Lets you communicate with other party members.

Lightweight.
Hides identity.

Going by the horns on her head, she's a half-dragon, so her skin is likely tougher than any armor anyway.

Two words: Cheesewire Monokini.

Benefit one is that it is unfathomably effective as a torture device. Benefit two is that you will never want for a nice slice of cheese or something to slit an enemy's throat with.

Benefit one: Probably acts as a passive attention gainer to thugs looking to make money or dragons, which might be good for someone actively trying to attract attention.
Benefit two: Assuming it doesn't shred, you will be well-dressed enough for impromptu diplomacy meetings immediately after combat.
Benefit three: The bulky skirt might foul the impact of some projectiles.
Benefit four: Might look ill-suited for combat enough for people to not take you seriously
Benefit five: Might help you convince people you are important

Infants make effective shields, and the horn hat probably is sharp enough to stab with.

Great boots for riding, protects the wearer's shins against kicks, allows the wearer to kick harder, high upper body mobility for dodging.

Excellent armor.

Not really.

Armor seems to affect your ability to cast using somatic components and has no real effect on your saves either.

What Edition are you playing?

I seem to recall rifts using this. And if you're in full armor a mage can't actually target, you but can only target your armor making a lot of the save or suck magics completely ineffective.

>rifts
Y'know, my uncle gave me a bunch of Rifts books as a gift. Should I bother learning the system? I'm already a Pathfinderfag, so it shouldn't be any more headache inducing or convoluted than PF.
Right?

It's a headache in a different sense.
In Pathfinder the headache is based around optimization and building a character that can properly abuse the system.
In rifts the headache is actually learning the system.
That said, if you have any experience with AD&D, learning rifts is pretty fucking easy, just expect your GM to have house rules on how burst fire, autofire, and spellcasting work.

Why wouldn't the wealthy just wear armor over their crystal ring? Good plate isn't that heavy for a trained fighter, and with the added force field beneath you could have an impressive defense. If you have the money, why not?

Really like the idea of metal being magic-resistant. But then you gotta have metal golems.

>optimization and building a character that can properly abuse the system.
So literally most any wizard that isn't retarded? Optimization does not mean its abusing the system, as some classes and character concepts require heavy optimization to be functional, like Kineticists, Swashbucklers, the new Shifter class, and core Monks and Rogues

Maybe because smut doesn't have anything to to with traditional games (discounting F.A.T.A.L. and a couple others)

>Maybe because smut doesn't have anything to to with traditional games
Wow, literally the dumbest fucking post I've read today, and that's saying a lot.

It's not bikini armor, fur bikinis, loin cloths, and deep V necks are a recent thing. Look at most fantasy shit from the 80's and 90's and you're bound to find more cheesecake than a dessert factory.

...what the fuck are you mongoloids babbling about? Late Medieval/Renaissance plate armour is light and agile as fuck while making you more or less invulnerable to anything that isn't worked into one of the small gaps, or a gun that's powerful enough relative to the thickness and hardness of the specific plate in question. At most, use a type of gauntlet that doesn't cover the fingers if you need finer manipulation and remove some of the pelvic armour if you want it to make less noise when you move around.

I need more not!porn please. Someone just go to the porn board and save anything that doesn't actually show nip or lips.

What is this? I googled and what I got was some German RPG called The Dark Eye.
Is that it, and if so what is the system like?

>So this is our new "murderhobo" summer line, very chic, our high class designers have been working tirelessly to try to emulate the "Been lost woods for days" or the "spent the weekend choking on cobwebs in a damp dark dungeon" allure, or the more risqué "Digging trough corpses and shit in the sewers" and "Recently regurgitated by a dragon" looks.
>It even now includes artificial wear and tear thanks to magic so you could swear your new style was previously worn by many previous generations of prestigious adventurers who brutally died wearing it.

>no "just murdered half a town" look

From what I hear it's one of the more anal systems out there, and it's one people either swear by for its amazing portrayal of low magical medieval europe, or label as something only the germans could come up with due to how mundane and simultaneously unnecessarily detailed it all is.

So, how long does it take to put on?
Not me trying to be a smug jerk about it - curious if it's as long an ordeal as I imagine (which, even then, only takes about as long as it takes the wizard to do their memorizations).

Less than ten minutes as long as you have a bit of help from someone who understands how straps work. Armor of this quality or even higher makes you essentially invulnerable to swords, axes, arrows, and will at least offer you significant protection from blunt force unless you're hit in the side of the skull or in a joint. The Gambeson alone though can be enough to stop an arrow from penetrating your body and will also stop a sword from cutting through and into you, although obviously a blow from two pounds of steel or an impact from a strong bow's arrow will still severely bruise you or worse.

Literally and unambiguously That Guy.

That is sooo last season.

Crossbows and a directly shot arrow from a reasonable test bow with a steel tip would penetrate most full plate through most of history. Also, war hammers were developed specifically to counter full suits like this. They were reserved for specific skirmishing cores of armies but were far from common or invulnerable. The fact that they were worn by seasoned and trained veterans made as much a difference against the terrified peasants they were fighting as anything.

90% of medieval armies were polearm/pike wielding peasants pressed into service.

GS is a cool That Guy who makes the campaign better thanks to his autism.

I was actually about to mention polearms and pikes. They can actually puncture metal with relative ease if the target is on foot, assuming the pike at least has a hook or bil or some such pointy protrusion. Gravity is a hell of a thing. They're also dandy against horses; then you can refer back to the previous statement. They're not the be all end all of anti cavalry, of course. You need to get lucky and get that solid hit in, but it's doable.

I was a fireman, and I'd pike the shit out of thick sheet metal, shaped and flat surfaces. It's actually not even that tiring once you figure out how to let the pike do the work.

Top Dawg Entertainment

If she steps on me, sure.

>What is a bard?

I'm almost surprised at how wrong someone could be in one post. Literally every single sentence. Crossbows need to be of an extreme draw weight to penetrate good plate armour. A longbow with a heavy draw weight would need to be no more than a few feet away to penetrate properly hardened steel plate armour. Hammers and picks are overrated and hammering/picking through plate armour should be a last resort panic tactic, they're better against maille without a lot of thick cloth over it due to maille having less force dispersion compared to plate. Once you're well into the full plate armour era of the medieval period, the common foot soldier had plate on his head, torso, and portions of his limbs, then ranging up from that in coverage, thickness, and hardness depending on their wealth. Peasants were only rarely used in medieval warfare, almost all proper combatants were either upper/middle class with at least decent training and equipment doing their duty, or professional mercenaries.

>moron compares sheet metal to proper armour

I don't understand why you people can't actually do research before you talk about shit.

You didn't put "rather" in that sentence.

You're just going around shitposting on your phone and committing random acts of violence.

Good protection around the chest
Clearly for mounted work, probably cheaper than plating the thighs and pelvis.

I don't even want to think about how badly that pinches.
