Here's a good article by a modern armorer concerning the question of reasonable armor for women, and how to balance style with functionality. My favorite part is when he says that if Sauron ever raised his arms too high, he'd poke his own eyes out!
Unfortunately, the link to the article has gone dead. Darn... and thanks to Sean for letting me know.
Upon reading the title it seemed like the entry would be about fantasy armor being useless for most female characters. But yes, embeleshments for style are often ridiculous, especially in the WOW universe. Thanks for sharing the link!
ReplyDeleteInfortunately the link is now dead as the armorer's account appears to be suspended.
