Sexy men in corsets.

[Order of Chaos]

Seeing how one of the best garments for a witch is a corset, does it mean that if one decides to play as male witch he has to wear a corset? Wouldn't that bring too much attention to him?

Also, please tell me how a corset does not interfere with Arcane gestures, while light armour does :/

[EntrerisShadow]

Corsets don't cover the arms - leather armor does.

Also a male witch could totally rock a corset if he wants to. Although I personally would see a Reanimator alchemist with ranks in Perform (Sing) if I went that route.

[Ravingdork]

Just call it a "vest" rather than a corset and you're done.

Have you seen men in corsets? They look good.

[Imbicatus]

The 3.5 iconic sorcerer Hennet was rocking the corset.

Witches are an int based class that can dump cha.

You may want to remember that before getting your hopes up

[RJGrady]

Of corset's mandatory.

That's not a corset, just a whole lotta' belts.

Not enough whale bones. That is the secret to witch-y power.

And anyway, for the original question- he doesn't HAVE to wear a corset. He GETS to wear a corset. Preferably, go half orc so you can get whip proficiency.

I frequently play male witches and have had no problem with the corset wearing.

[Icyblaze13]

They make corsets for men, and they look damn good.

True, men have been wearing girdles and corsets for centuries.

[VRMH]

Call it a "kidney belt".

[Cap. Darling]

Just play a overweigth male witch and wear the corset under the shirt to help you in a more manly shape. That is more common than you Think.

[Luthorne]

Indeed, corsets have been for men as well, particularly in societies where a slim figure was valued. It's quite possible that it would be completely normal and draw no attention. Similarly, corsets do not necessarily prevent vigorous activity; during the second half of the 19th century, when corset wearing was common, there were sport corsets specifically designed to wear while bicycling, playing tennis, or horseback riding. Remember, not all corsets are necessarily kept tightly-laced.

[GypsyMischief]

It's a girdle, done

[RJGrady]

So, I'm thinking about what races have a +Int bonus, thus making them the best sexy men witches in corsets. Elves are in, obviously, and so are gnomes. Let's see, sexy blue Samsarans, hot Wayangs... definitely seeing a lot of goth/short possibilities here.

If you google for pictures of "girldes" with safesearch off, the results may still be, shall we say: less than manly.

(I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.)

Men wore corsets, just like they used to wear heels and hose. They stopped. Women still wear those things.

So... he will likely just look like a wealthier person who eats well and wants to appear thinner.

[Alex Smith 908]

Male corset use persisted into the late 1800s. Though it should be noted that in general corsets are undergarments and thus would be worn under other clothing. So it would only really be as noticeable as a guy who wears a girdle with his tux, which honestly is required for a proper tux. Exterior corset wearing is solely the domain of fashion movements far more fickle that the general "slim waistline good" that corsets as a whole encompass, and thus up to the GM. In general though if ladies are rocking the modern throwback external corset thing, I'd probably have it in vogue for men as well. After all no better way to show off your pecs, without going full shirtless.

[Joe Hex]

There was also the gloriously insane codpieces men used to wear, to exaggerate their manly traits.
An Iconic with one of those would be memorable at the very least! :)

Weird necro, but ok.

It's an advertisement: I'd guess it was auto-posted, but it is actually fairly 'on topic' for this thread, so someone probably took the time to register and manually post it for their business...

[Azothath]

you'd think spammers would know they're gonna get 'pinched in a cinch' posting to a corset thread. Bound to happen.

now a vermlek in a corset could be a rather rocky horror experience...
