Difference is, this is a fantasy game. It involves RP.
Lil' Kim would be a Copeham inn bard mob, with an avg 4 dagger.
I am sure female characters like Dulmisa would generally scare
your character, but RP immersion differs from player to player.

That is why she is a real-life rap artist, not an imperial assassin
murderer, specialized in assassinating people, and still can kill
people in straight combat. Or a Scion shapeshifter who can turn
into a lion and rip you open. Try punching that in the face.
Check the Copeham mob comparisation.

>Badass
>females are very few and far between, I just can't take them
>seriously.
In mainstream REAL-LIFE, that is perhaps likely, maybe debatable.
In movies and science-fiction, nah, not even close.
In CF ? That that is just ludicrous and silly.

It is all about RP immersion.
Admit, Lil' Kim would look quite more powerful when she can
sing up that fiend to rip your guts without the help a XTC tablet
from your part, compared to the usual 'charm person' spell she tries
with her inflated chest IRL that has not much chance of lasting longer
than 3 seconds. This is a reason why carrionfields and fantasty
is awesome.
