Thread title. It always feels really awkward describing when happens when they're attacked, I have to admit. It's like there's this natural squeamish that comes with describing what happens when a busty woman gets hit in the face with a mace.
Couldn't you try something else then? Like shrinking her instead.
>>96741287I mean when the fighter runs up to her and hacks into her with his flaming sword, there are only so many ways to describe his blade hewing into nubile flesh.
>>96741296That's why you rely on the mage instead and trap her.
>It always feels really awkward describing when happens when they're attacked, I have to admit. Why not just simp for them instead?
>>96741278Do you describe what happens to other foes when weapons hit them? Not everyone is playing the game like it's Mortal Kombat
>>96741278Why?
>>96741278Embrace the interplay of sex and violence. That's what enemies like the drow and succubi are for.
My last one was during a game of Traveller in my homebrew setting. A sexy Mormon witch with a notdune mind control voice power. They put wax in their ears and shot her to death with 9mm cartridge firearms. Very easy to describe.
>>96741278>It always feels really awkward describing when happens when they're attacked, I have to admit.Candy-ass. Equal rights, equal fights. My players have never hesitated to kill an evil person just because they were an attractive woman.
>>96741278On the contrary, after eons of of the most sickeningly vile women (real and fictional) getting undue pussy pass sympathy, it feels gratifying to quash female privilege in the cruelest fashion imaginable
>>96741278>How does your party deal with female villains?Violently.One of the girls in the group has an obvious thing for rape, slavery and general bdsm. She's polite enough not to try to turn the game into erp when she GMs but I'm pretty sure her and her husband have been playing through some of the 'fade to black' scenes on their own time. Pretty savagely judging by the marks I saw on her back last time we went to the beach, I don't mind a bit of rough play myself but I've never left permanent scars when I've whipped a girl.
>>96741902They seem to enjoy it though and she's genuinely one of the best GMs I've played with so whatever.
>>96741278Equal opportunity violence and sexualization. The dudes go shirtless, the girls wear bikinis, and they both get stabbed.
Personally I like killing them really sexily. Giving a nasty girl her well-deserved punishment is hot.
>>96741278Mate I'm gonna blow your fucking mind with this insane trick. Just say: "villain gets hit"Follow for more amazing tips, tricks and advice!
>>96741278This is a really stupid question, but I was just thinking. Would anyone really be intimidated by a female villain? Like, let's say you're fighting a female knight instead of The Mountain that Rides. In a world where there aren't any societal protections for women, where nothing stops your from (hypothetically speaking) raping her and murdering her if you defeat her, I don't think anyone would be 'intimidated' so much as bewildered and probably aroused.It's like if you sent a sheep to fight starving wolves, the wolves will be confused but not particularly afraid.
>>96742250>>96741317Magic is a thing though.
>>96742256Yeah, but there's nothing that makes a female magic-user better than a male one. I mean, I'll be worried that a female sorceress is going to kill me with a fireball, but a male sorcerer could probably do the same. And I'd rather fight the woman.
>>96742250>In a world where there aren't any societal protections for women, where nothing stops your from (hypothetically speaking) raping her and murdering her if you defeat her, I don't think anyone would be 'intimidated' so much as bewildered and probably aroused.This is why we don't have armies of women
>>96742250>>96742275Nothing stops you from doing that to male villains either
>>96742581We already graphically murder male villains by default.
>>96742250Weapons are force multipliers. An armed woman could easily kill you. A uncharacteristically tall or muscular woman who is also armed is, as far as existential threats go, indistinguishable from a mountain that rides. Just because there is a chance she might make your pp hard does not diminish the fact she might kill you.
>>96741816>Equal rights, equal fightsExcept people see them differently even if they claim otherwise. But your right, in a game it's ok to kill evil women.
>>96742617If a woman pointed a gun at me, I'd probably do what she says, but that wouldn't invoke the visceral fear a huge imposing man would.Kinda like avoiding touching a funny coloured frog vs meeting a bear.
>>96741278>your viscious swings carve deep into her defense, leaving bloody wounds>she screams in agony as your spell (inflict wounds) takes hold and sickly black veins begin to race through her body like an infection, corroding and withering the skin >your fireball detonates with earth-shaking fury and a thunderous roar. For a moment you can see the shadowy outline of the drow priestess in the explosions centre, before she crumbles into ashesSomewhat like this, i guess?
>>96742629A woman in that scenario would be easier to reason with then a belligerent man. There power is manipulation not force.
>>96742637>woman>reasonPick one
>>96742250>Would anyone really be intimidated by a female villain?If you cant make people be afraid and intimidated by a female necromancer, a vampire lady, a demoness, a witch, an evil queen or a crime boss, thats entirely and utterly your failure as a DM and you only have yourself to blame>I don't think anyone would be 'intimidated' so much as bewildered and probably aroused.>It's like if you sent a sheep to fight starving wolves, the wolves will be confused but not particularly afraid.They will be afraid after the villaness rips them a new one, kills beloved NPC and leaves one or two party members dead, or brings them close to a TPK
>>96742629>If a woman pointed a gun at me, I'd probably do what she says, but that wouldn't invoke the visceral fear a huge imposing man would.That's really fucking stupid.
>>96742629What if that woman is big? With a sword? You do realise that a half competent woman with a knife could very easily take a life.
>>96741278>busty woman gets hit in the face with a mace.hit her with a dick instead, duh
>>96741278>How does your party deal with female villains?if hot the soul is removed and switched with an not so attractive or even ugly yet friendly tavern wench (and then the not so attractive or ugly body and ugly soul is disintegrated), if not disintegrated.
>>96743366>if not disintegrated.if not hot, just disintegrated
Sure smells like divorced dude in here.
>>96742934Yea? It's about visceral emotions, not reason. I'm not going to provoke a crazy woman with a gun and I'm not going to lick a funny looking frog, but they don't evoke the same involuntary response like a thug or an angry bear would.>>96743098A toddler with a knife could take my life if it cut my artery by chance.>what if she's very bigThan possibly. But good luck finding artwork of giant women that's not obviously drawn for fetish reasons.
>>96743690Yes anon. That's the point. Weapons are force multipliers. Even someone weak can kill you. Your opponent does not have to be physically imposing to be a genuine threat.
>>96741278
>>96741317Kill yourself, puckee.
>>96742621Speak for yourself beta simp faggot
>>96743427Yep, because you walked in.
>>96741278The last time we had a female villain we killed her and all of her friends by blasting their dropship out of the sky when they tried retreating.
>>96741278My orc is simpleif you harm innocents, he will split you in half with his greataxe.
>>96742644Everyone pick calling you a moron.
>>96743770You miss and rape your own ass.
>>96741278Why don't you care when men are harmed?
>>96742250bruh
>>96747633Kitiara is sort of a poor example. She relies really heavily on her sex appeal: I don't think we actually see her kick ass in any of her appearances.When she appears in the nightmare, she dies. When killing Sturm, she's riding a blue dragon. I mean, she seems charismatic, but she never comes across as a master swordswoman.Hell, in the sequel she gets mortally wounded by Dalamar, and that's after he hesitates because he was banging her.Not a great record of victories.
>>96747881Isn't she like a level 15 martial or something?
>>96741317Do people actually simp for villainesses in any game you've played?
>>96742250>Would anyone really be intimidated by a female villain?The key to actual threatening female villains is not making them humanoid. Nobody questions being frightened of or intimidated by a female dragon.
>>96741278I am sympathetic, anon. I don't like the idea of women getting hurt, eith-- Wait. Why did you specify "busty"?Suspicions aside, there are several ways around this. Make the female villain evil enough AND threatening enough that both players and GM can feel good about her destruction. Monster transformations and unholy fortitude can allow you to describe an arm getting lopped off, but she's still fighting, powered by rage or magic or whatever.Or arrange the circumstances such that the violence is brief and, to some degree, sanitized. She gets shot, drops to the ground, she's dead. You avoid the out-of-character discomfort that a "realistic" death might cause. This works particularly well for less-important female antagonists.Also, there is always at least one female player in my games that will happily kill whatever evil bitch the boys are getting squeamish about (not that this happens often).

>>96741278I don't really use them, women in my settings rarely have the ambition for villainy.
>>96747633is this supposed to be intimidating? she looks like a theater kid
>>96748579Why are you okay with the idea of men getting hurt?
>>96748830Would
>>96748830She's supposed to seduce half-elf wizards and undead knights
>>96748835Makes sense she is cute
>>96748835so, the opposite of intimidating then. in that case, why did you post this image in response to a post asking how women can be intimidating, clearly implying that it's meant to be an example of one?
>>96748859Is (>>96741317) intimidating or seductive?
>>96748875that's not the post you replied to. this is. >>96742250do you have brain damage?
>>96742250>Like, let's say you're fighting a female knight instead of The Mountain that Rides.Like Brienne of Tarth? Who is meant to show you what an imposing woman looks like?>In a world where there aren't any societal protections for women, where nothing stops your from (hypothetically speaking) raping her and murdering her if you defeat her, I don't think anyone would be 'intimidated' so much as bewildered and probably aroused.Supreme third-world thinking on display. Intimidation can include the enemy's unsettling mannerisms or disturbing thought process, not just muh immediate physical surroundings. Also bold to imply you would simp for a wrinkly witch.
>>96748933Brienne is specifically a freak. There's no-one else like her in Game of Thrones, and even Jamie can barely take her seriously. In fact, hardened fighters like Randall Tarly don't, he actually tells her "Don't go crying to me if you get raped." She's overwhelmed (despite using a Valyrian sword) when fighting a group of bandits, and one of them is chewing on her face when she gets rescued.
>>96748022In the books, she's mortally wounded by a Shocking Grasp, then a single Lightning Bolt from a wand wielded by a level-equivalent Elven wizard.
