[QUOTE="Jahydin, post: 9200026, member: 6984869"] Serious question for those that were around at the time: I've seen quite a few articles that praise 5E for having fully armored women, like this [URL='https://www.vice.com/en/article/exmqg7/dungeons-and-dragons-has-caught-up-with-third-wave-feminism-827']Vice [/URL]article: "But gradually, and sometimes awkwardly, Dungeons & Dragons has become exponentially more female-friendly. The newest version of the game, which hit stores on August 19, debuted a sensibly armored black woman, plates covering all her vital organs, as its example of the "human" race option. No chainmail bikinis here." Is this sentiment overblown? I ask because most of the old art I've seen depict women [B]Fighters [/B]much like they're seen here. Sorry if this is an odd question, but it's kind of fresh in my mind because a friend just gifted me hundreds of the old AD&D 2E trading cards and I was surprised at how well depicted all the women were. And I can't stress enough that I'm talking about Fighters here. :D [/QUOTE]
