Variant armour AC rule.

Now, this is something that I hear people complain about endlessly when discoursing on the 'chick in chainmail'. Towit the impracticality of the armor depicted.

I came up with a solution.

Any female of any race is able to add their charisma score as an bonus to their AC when wearing a chain mail bikini. This is for the initial opening contact/encounter only. This bonus crosses interracial lines for one reason. The sheer stunned pause such a get up occasions is just enough for the female so costumed to get in a clear first strike while dodging ineffective blows from the opposition.

I would only add that the chick in chainmail is treated as if under the effects of a Sanctuary spell until she takes a hostile action.

I'm going to have to use these in game!

Just get FATAL-like...

Charisma / 3 (round up) + Breast size / 6 (round up) + 1 / cup size = AC bonus in chain mail.

So, if you have an 18 Cha, 36C, you're at 6 + 6 + 3 = 15 +5 for armor = 20. Obviously, most women should have larger breasts.

Well yeah, that's easy.

But some may require a visual guide. Can you please provide same.

[Not for me of course, cause I prefer equations ~ yeah right!! ]

This reminds me of the Amazon kit from AD&D2e Fighter's Handbook...

I see a problem with Serl's calculations though.

1st, I believe the CHA is likely more a 14. As for the other numbers, it is hard to tell through a single picture and request a hands on session to verify your numbers.

I've always been partial to Elmore's Chainmail Spandex per the Cleric killed by Bargle in the Basic D&D Solo Adventure, where you play "Fighter".

Yup. Aleena. A classic inspirational image from my misspent youth.

Y'all have some seriously warped senses of humor... This is perhaps the best thread around here in a while.

I'd also like to thank gideon_throne for OPing this thread and then Serleran for posting that picture... All of this lead to many people at my job wondering what I was looking at on the internet.

Thanks guys. I mean, no really... thanks.

Tell us more.

Me, I never woke up there. uhh I mean I've never been there.

[Flashback, I remember one time waking up inside a VW wearing nothing on top but a bra and the girl next to me had her top on, but was wearing my underwear! I'm sure she must have been a sorcerer! D&D lives . . . in the modern world!

Should this really be limited to chainmail? Chicks in leather can be kindof... um, distracting as well.

Treebore · Post by **Treebore** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 7:38 am

Plus, when I talked to my wife about this thread she asked what kind of bonuses would a Storm Giant woman in a Bikini set of armor would get?

As Oscar Wilde said, we are all in the gutter, but some of us are gazing up at the stars.

Agreed. Forget Morgan, Aleena is the fantasy lady of my early years.
