And, as to the seraphim...maybe it is easier to fight in less clothes? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Less constriction i suppose. I think she is nice.
If we go by your logic, everyone -- male or female -- should fight naked and things like arrows and protection be damned. Not like breastplates and such would keep arrows from doing maximum damage. Or deflect sword blows. Nor should you think of the elements -- rain, snow, and all. {/sarcasm^2}
Dumb fantasy women and people who portray them annoy the Nine Hells out of me.

Would you feel better if you knew that most people who sees women in Fantasy wearing a chainmail bikini (it should hurt!) are idiots who never touched (or saw) a female in their life? I never liked Boris Vallegio anyway. I wouldn't want to fight wearing only boxers with a heart-pattern and I laughed when Julie wore the 'Crimson-Bikini-Of-Doom-Which-Puts-Fear-And-Lust-In-Ennemy's-Heart' in Heavy Metal 2000 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.

Another few disadvantages in horseback archery:
- It's difficult enough to hit a moving target. Now if the archer is moving too... Only a few tribes were able to shoot from a ride in the antiquity.
- If the horse get shot or scared, you get yourself a good rock-*sand*witch, if you're lucky, and a 300 pound of meat on top of you, if you're not. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
