Dungeons and dames. vixens of tabletops (SFW ONLY!)

[Thane of Fife]

I never really understood why Succubi were ever demons. I mean, yes, seducing your foe to suck the life out of him is a bit chaotic, but they look and operate nothing like the other demons. They've got attractive, humanoid bodies, and don't give in to battle-fury. Sticking them in with the devils and merging them with Erinyes made sense to me.

Devils corrupt. Demons destroy.

I think that that's kind of a 4e/maybe late 3.x thing. My 2e books, for example, clearly suggest that the Baatezu and Tanar'ri are both making significant efforts to corrupt mankind. The difference is that where the Baatezu offer mortals the power to control and dominate, to exert their will upon those around them, the Tanar'ri feed mortals' bestial appetites, depriving them of even the ability to control even themselves.

Erinyes are far more out of place than succubi.

Ah. That makes sense now.

Dang!! That photo looks so awesome!! I wonder who's the model...

...wait, why you say it's a drawing? It's certainly a photo, if you look closely...

...the signature? Well, I've seen digital cameras add the date to the JPEG; most probably that's a professional digital camera...?

Well, be it a photo or a drawing :P; time for more indulging of damsels! This one is a bit bad drawn, but it reminds of the Shadowmind posted earlier.

Excellent thread. If I had it on me I'd post my current character, but alas the pic is on my laptop, so I'll have to find this thread again later to share her awesomeness.

[XBobbis]

I don't know where exactly it is, but either in the PHB or the DMG there's a picture of Lidda near a treasure chest holding up some shiny thing and her other hand is...well, it's an odd drawing.

Then there's always the one where she's holding the magic item that's blown up in her face.

When I saw that pic, the first thought in my mind was, "Geez, the metal rings on her hauberk are HUGE."

Then I reflected on what I thought, and realized that there is no hope for me.

[thorgrim29]

Isn't that because it's scale rather then mail?

[Starscream]

That one always makes me smile. It's the expression and the rather cartoonish effect it had on her hair.

She just stole something that had "I prepared Explosive Runes today" on it.

[Gamgee]

Yea it looks that way, and that picture along with the Shadowmind pic are my favourite fantasy ones.

Also this is Star Wars, but I enjoy this pic as well.

Judging from the way the armor appears to be made of lots of interlocking rings of metal, I'd say maille than scale. Scale, AFAIK, doesn't usually look like that.

[Sinfire Titan]

I prefer Ron Spencer's take on Lidda, specifically the version from the MoI.

Unfortunatly, I can't get an image of this one unless I put it on Photobucket, and this doesn't belong to me (so I'm just linking to it instead).

This is what a battle bard is supposed to look like. Incidentally, this character is one of the few redeeming qualities of that particular game...

One of the many names to run away from.

Impressive art.

What a Desert Wind Swordsage should look like.

Bonus: A pair to be put under the "Male" category, these two are just too badass to pass up posting. Not entirely on-topic, but cool enough to make up for it.

So... this one kinda confuses me. And can be seen as stereotypical, but it's interesting nonetheless

Here's the portrait I'm using for my character Pallas, an invoker of Ioun, and being a priestess of the goddess of knowledge she writes down everything in her travels, so this is a most fitting portrait (except she's human, so I Photoshopped the point off her ear, so apologies to Howard Lyon ^^;; )

And before you ask about the wings, she's multiclassed into avenger and took the Unveiled Visage paragon path.

mmmm... True. Though I have to wonder at that... strip of fabric inbetween her legs. Seems like it's being a bit too seductive for a paladin goddess... Does someone need a bit of atoning?

Actually, come to think of it... what would those be called? Could be sometimes a part of a tabard, but in this case.... nah...

Ooh. It's Qara the pyromaniac sorcerer from Neverwinter Nights 2. I preferred the sarcastic elf wizard to her since he's a lot funnier. Qara, on the other hand, is a whiny teenager with authority problems, but she's really well-drawn here.

No atonement necessary.

Those are kind of accurate, actually. When the age of alwhite plate hit (plate that's not covered up by anything), some knights would wear loincloths with their arms on them as an additional identifier, since full plate and shield (which is wear their identification would normally be located) weren't generally used together. Hers is longer than necessary - being wrapped around her leg like that it's actively dangerous, actually - but it's not out of line for a fighter in alwhite plate to have it at all.

Additionally, I've got my character portraits folder sorted pretty well, and one of the folders is "women with reasonably realistic armor". That pic is one of the headliners in that folder. It's a wonderful image. One of my faves for sure.

[Xefas]

...whiny teenager with authority problems...

Sounds like the entire chaotic alignment spectrum to me. All hail Law, and its infinite capacity for badassitude.

If we're allowed to link to stuff, this is my favorite artist I've seen on deviantart. He does D&D pictures of some of the important Archons, Devils, and Demons. Here are four of the devil ladies that I like (that have no nudity):

Fierna

Baalphegor

Bensozia

Lilis

Belial's, Mephistopheles', Asmodeus', and Dispater's main squeezes, respectively.

I kind of wish Bel had a lady friend, 'cause I really like Bel, but I guess he's married to his work, really.

You do realise that the girl may well be Boba Fett's granddaughter?

[Doc Roc]

Though that's probably because Succubi are devils now, and devils are just better at everything than demons .

They... are.... devils now?

No. Just..... Just no.
I heard they were bringing back planescape, but it's pretty clear that it won't be any planescape I can recognize.

I guess I'm just old and angry.
