Okay, so here's the weirdest thing about that review I described last post: the guy complained about a tiny strip of unclothed abdomen, but much earlier in the book there's a picture of a lady druid in a fur bikini. Bare legs, bare belly, bare shoulders, barely covered breasts ... but he picked the archer with her tiny patch of uncovered waistline to rag about.
The only explanation for this (other than that he just overlooked her) is that the reviewer recognized that there was absolutely nothing the least bit sexual about her pose, and as a druid she would logically be expected to disdain the conventions of ordinary society anyway.
Which made me go further and realize ... it would be perfectly reasonable for a D&D druid character to be a nudist. Put some gear in a backpack and just let everything else hang out. Walk through villages with all the townsfolk staring, argue with constables who want to make you put some clothes on, turn yourself into a tiger when people complain ...
Now I just need to find an unsuspecting group that's ready to play the new edition.
