Cheesecake Armor


Gamer Life General Discussion


Was looking over the items in BESM d20, and I noticed something. Cheesecake Armor.

Cheesecake Armor, who hates it? Who thinks it makes a bad name in fantasy? Who thinks that all those pictures of Red Sonja would be better without the Cheesecake armor and she is dressed in something more protective? Is mitigation better than avoidance?

Personally, I like it. But it's an option for the player if they want it or not. It's obviously magical, for every level of appearance that it increases by, the AC also increases.

If you don't like Cheesecake Armor, I'm quite glad that Paizo has reduced the amount of possible Cheesecake. Not everyone likes it, and I do think that the Iconics are better dressed than their D&D counterparts. I think it was a great move on their part.

What is the item actually named?

It took me a second to figure out what Cheesecake Armor was ;-)
And I would say that I enjoy it now and again


Red Sonja is fiction. As such, heavy platemail isn't going to reduce her chances of getting harmed. She's only going to get harmed when the author thinks doing so promotes the story.

I don't like gratuitous cheesecake armor.


Cheesecake armor?

I think I missed something.


I think you should make a thread of ONLY cheesecake armor pics...

I like it just fine on two conditions.

1) There is some for both genders.

2) That there is a mix of practical, cheesecake, and impractical but cool looking armor, like armor with spikes on it.

I like most fantasy art, I just want a variety.


I love me some cheesecake.


Pretty much dumb on every level. Claims for "equal amounts of beefcake" don't work, as fantasy game beefcake is typically made for...you guessed it, men.

Psst...

I don't know how to break it to you, but characters in a Roleplaying Game are fiction as well.

Full of holes, your argument is.

+1 for Yodas post!

Can we make it Cherry Cheesecake Armor? Or Chocolate Cheesecake armor? I'd go for either of those. But then again it might attact more baddies? Oh well more XP when I kill them for trying to eat my cheesecake armor

Well in that case lets go for the Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. you could us ethe little foil covered squares of chocolate they provide with it like rings/ chain/ or coins added to armor.

That is rectifiable, you know.

Not really. RPG's are also simulations to some extent where what happens is based on mathematical principles. In them, armor changes the numbers, making it less likely that something happens. In a novel or a comic book, there is nothing random, anywhere. (although some stories certainly seem otherwise) Red Sonja and Conan only take sword wounds when the author decides they should, so armor really means nothing at all to them. A Pathfinder or D&D character gets struck when the dice says they do (in most games, anyways).

Polymorph any object can turn armor into cheesecake.

I can't imagine an arrow being stopped by a layer of crushed biscuit.

Plus, I daren't think of where the crumbs would go...

Wouldn't body heat cause the cheesecake to melt? :)

I'm curious as to what point exactly you thought I claimed that RPG characters aren't fiction.


You know that you've been hanging around the wrong Paizonians for too long when you see cheesecake on a dessert menu then get disappointed when your cute waitress returns with an actual piece of cake...

So we agree, there is nothing wrong with cheesecake armor as long as we know it's 'not real'. Awesome.


On a great note with the rules my group is using (a Combo of Armor as DR and Class Defense) I can now be the shirtless Barbarian I've always wanted

I said the only place I don't like cheesecake armor is where it's gratuitous. Other than that, it's fine.

Technically, the spear counterpart to cheesecake is beefcake.

Which to my brain is instantly aeatloaf, which isn't necessarily the thought process of rugged manliness, even when capitalized.

Other than that? Spot on.

CHEESECAKE FOR THE CHEESECAKE GODS! BEEFCAKE FOR THE BEEFCAKE THRONE!
