Ludicrously easy. In basically all settings where the majority of combatants eschew armor, such as anything remotely like real life, its probably very practical in many cases to dress down to disperse heat better.

Despite the majority of combatants IRL not having worn armor, however, as soon as someone puts on a chainmail bikini, people start fixating on gore potential.

You're a secret agent disguised as a stripper/ cheap whore. They enjoy the disguise more than they should.

Your God is a perv, he demands that his followers wear skimpy outfits and flash the heavens on occasion.

After the apocalypse, good quality clothes became another luxury. The less fortunate wander the world in little more than rags.

Wuxia settings are often biased against heavy armour, Xia prefer mobility and blocking/dodging to absorbing blows.

For more generic fantasy stuff, in a goofy fantasy setting I run I justify barely covering armour (for both genders) as being made of small amounts of a potent magical metal which holds enchantments extremely well, but is unstable in larger quantities. So the optimal way of using it is in small articles of armour or worked into pieces of clothing which can generate a magical shield over the rest of the user.

Conventional armour does exist, but given that it's heavier, more awkward and less comfortable, everyone who can afford it goes for the skimpy option.

In one game I took part in, people moved up from the lower caste based on their achievements in war, so they took to wearing skimpy clothing that flaunted their muscles and battle scars. Once they moved to the upper caste, they started to dress more conservatively.

There was no armor in the setting (it was Neolithic) so lack of protection didn't enter the picture.

>Skimpy clothing
You don't really need any justification beyond culture. There are already thousands of historical civilizations that wore skimpy clothing and do not have the same values of modesty as us. That's really all you need.

>Skimpy armor
Once again culture- There were civilizations that viewed armor as cowardice, so people often went into battle stark naked to show off how badass their fighting ability was. Sure, this usually didn't work out against more heavily-armored opponents (See: Gauls vs. Romans), but considering this is fantasy, pretty much all armor is cosmetic anyway. Swords can cut through thick armor like butter when they need to and no one seems to question it.
Another factor could be technology and armor supply. The vast, vast, vast majority of soldiers in history, even in the age of full plate, never wore a scrap of armor and if they did, it was usually a helmet. You could be in a pre-medieval setting where pretty much NO ONE wears much armor, so having little to no armor is now seen as a disadvantage.

My setting has a god of joy, whose paladins are most commonly thrill-seekers and adrenaline junkies.This, combined with the god's disinclination towards pain, resulted in his paladins having a rather unique fighting style.

Where a traditional paladin takes on enemy aggro and tanks it, a paladin for the god of joy takes on enemy aggro and focuses entirely on dodging it, aided by unobstructing, light, minimalistic armor.

skimpy armor is preferred for all paladins, and is not gender-specific

The shota isn't supposed to be appealing as much as he's supposed to be a self-insert for the reader. It's not about a desire for paedophilia as much as it is the desire of men -always expected to be strong and though- to be vulnerable in the safe and caring embrace of a strong yet loving woman.

I leave her to her wishes.
>Oath of the Ancients
I leave them all alone, as such is their wishes.
>Oath of Vengeance
I kill the orcs.
>Oathbreaker
I remove the penises of the orcs and force them to watch me rape the slut and prove that one human dick is worth a dozen orcs' dicks. Then I kill them.
>Oath of the Crown
Joke's on her, I've been banging the Queen.

I feel like you're not putting enough passion behind it.

A proper Vengeance Paladin would threat the following.
>>
>>43469317
Paladins in 5E gain their power from a Sacred Oath. This supplies them with their code, and some unique special abilities. A Paladin who breaks his code and later swears a bargain with a creature of the Lower Planes becomes an Oathbreaker Paladin. That is why they're paladins - all a paladin's class features, but with more evil magic and less codes.
>>43469320
Maybe, although a Paladin of Vengeance might work a little better, since Oathbreakers need pacts with demons. Not the Warlock kind that lets you kind of do what you want, they always work for demons. That's what they have as a code.
>>

Yeah they should stop being called paladins at this point.

Well, they were Lawful Evil back in 2nd, following the "To err is human, to punish divine." creed. I'd say Daemon pact would not be beneath them - their ends would justify even use of such means.
>>
>>43469414
In my opinion they shouldn't be called "paladins" unless they're actual members of the court of Charlemagne, so I guess neither of is are happy then, eh?

Why? They have all a Paladin's class features. They have everything not related to the Oath that any other Paladin has. They just have a much more vague and more evil Oath - obey a demon.

Nah, I am ok with CE paladins but that should be paladins that swore an oath to some CE good, once they break an oath they don't deserve to be paladins anymore.

Going without armor is for some quirk of metabolism or fantastical settings/mechanical rules (including natural armor, magical armor, or what have you) roughly as practical as using armor.

My barbarian doesn't use armor, but that makes her tougher to hit and even when naked, she's fairly resistant to damage. (But tougher with some very scant armor. Think gladiator outfits.)

Of course, in the system, armor makes you easier to hit but provides DR.

Your armor is a nano-skin implanted under your natural skin. It generates a force field arround your body and needs so little obstruction as possible to work.

Your armor is a set of magical tatoos / runes painted over your body. They need so little obstruction as possible to work.


Fantasy is like real life: you need very little excuse to dress like a slut / homo / whatever.

>Setting
-Armour is useless in this world because of x/y/z

- Much like rival species of animals, culturally combat is seen to be just as much about presentation as it is prowess.

>Character
-Supreme arrogance and disregard for the threat the enemy poses. Some classical Celts went into battle stark naked in the certainty that their gods would protect them and scorned the use of armour.

The ancient Roman saw more wangs on the battlefield than you could ever imagine.

All you need to ask is

1. Do you enjoy it?

2. Is your group ok with it?

3. Are you willing to suspend some disbelief?

If you can answer all of those truthfully yes (make sure your group isn't just saying yes to be nice or something) then go for it. As long as it's not in a setting meant to be realistic/believable like Middle Earth or Westeros I don't see a problem with it.

The planet was originally a Spring Break vacation spot until interplanetary travel became too cost prohibitive. Now, hundreds of years later, the planet's culture is based on a revival of the "classics", based on advertisements that survived from that period.

Everyone wears nothing but skimpy bikinis, Hawaiian shorts, and similar outfits, and all conflicts are resolved with the ritual contests of volleyball, wet t-shirt contests, and watergun fights.
