It separates, AND supports!

This armor protects the most vital parts of the body.

Fantasy armor has a long and noble tradition of awesomeness. Bear skin speedos, chainmail bikinis, massive codpieces, and boobplate are all standard equipment for adventuring parties and threads dedicated to ridiculous armors are a common sight on /tg/. Why does /tg/ celebrate such brazen sluttiness? The answers are known as the 4 Fs:

• Freedom! - In a world where rules and restrictions constrain everything that we do, RPGs give a unique outlet to let loose your inner degenerate. In an RPG, if you want your warrior to wear nothing but a magic sock (which counts as full platemail) then nothing is stopping you.

• Fun! - Elaborate and highly stylized armor is interesting and enjoyable to look at. An entire world filled 120% utilitarian equipment is boring and becomes repulsively dull.

• Fashion! - Stylized armors give players an outlet to customize their characters to make them different from all the mooks.

• Fap! - An irrefutable fact of /tg/ is that many threads that claim to be "armor" dumps quickly degenerate into fap threads. Not that thats a bad thing.
