Female fighters favor stiff metal underwear.<\/p>\n<p>A male rogue will wear dark leather armor with little metal studs all over it, because nothing says \u201cstealth\u201d like a bunch of glittering bits of metal all over the place. Ladies in the same profession lean towards the skin-tight catsuit look, because the first step in being stealthy is apparently to make sure every able-bodied man within a hundred paces is staring at you with his mouth slightly open.<\/p>\n<p>Male wizards wrap themselves in thick shapeless woolen robes that would \u2013 let\u2019s face it \u2013 collect odors at an astounding rate. These robes would most likely be heavy, and itch like a fiberglass jockstrap. On the other hand, females who practice the arcane arts wear little strips of translucent gauze over their naughty bits.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s nice to see that when it comes to apparel, roleplaying games have a lot of equality: Everybody dresses like an idiot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shamus Says:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since writing the above, I have explored the world of MMO gaming.
