@LadyRhian - LOL. All in fun. I'm kind of an old fuddy-duddy and don't need the obvious flesh exposure in order for 'Seduction' to happen. Sometimes the 'chase' is half the fun.
I've long thought that the thread title should read "Images of females in armor designed for protection, not for distraction!" because that is what it ACTUALLY is. The intent as far as I understand it is not to seduce the opponent, but to distract them and get them to let their guard down.
And even then, most of what is posted is very NICE distraction regardless of how much flesh is shown.

glad this thread is still going. i'm glad that there is a greater prevalence nowadays for armor that covers up. personally, i'm not a fan of "boob armor" or corset style armor. simply because a woman's chest flattens depending on its cover. like so:
@Kiwidoc is it sad, I can tell you where those pictures are used (except #2)?
This is the only one I am not sure of. I know it's Kitiara and Lord Soth. It may have been an interior illustration in a Dragonlance module. Otherwise, no idea.

It looks specially like a soprano viol (far right in pic) or like you found a vielle. We'd know for sure depending if the subject was playing it from the chin (vielle) or legs (viol).
quote: Viols come in a number of different sizes, and all except the largest are held between the player's legs. They were traditionally used mainly as consort instruments, with viols of different sizes playing together, but in Trio Grosso we mainly use the viol to provide a good solid bass line.
The viol originates from late 15th Century Spain from where it found its way to most parts of Europe. It was the preferred bowed stringed instrument of the upper classes until the violin family gained in popularity in the 18th Century.
It's a Gaderffii aka "gaffi stick" (Sand people weapon) from the Star Wars universe. Also note the text above the door is also from the Star Wars universe. The gal looks like GI Joe Baroness of the comic books dropped into SW Imperial uniform, which is pretty cool IMO.

It's from:
Publication: Interior plate for the TSR 1987 Dragonlance Legends Calendar
Date: 1986
Size: 15" x 15"
Medium: Oils
Kitiara fights for her life against magical hands of the undead, while Lord Soth quietly looks on.
A Google image search led me to the above, from: http://www.clydecaldwell.com/large_images/hands_of_doom.html but I also have the Calender buried somewhere from decades ago and the image looked familiar, I just couldn't recall where, lol.
