Fetch me a whore

Agreed on the realism-sexuality-disconnect thing, mostly. However, prostitution and sexuality are quite disconnected concepts themselves. Prostitution is as much about having sex, as slave labor to build a palace is about living in one.

And if people have a problem with THAT, I can totally relate.

True, but it can still be incorporated in the disonnect from reality. If it exists in a mundane world, surely, a magical one with exotic races would have it as well.

You know, I'm pretty sure people can help with this thread (staying within our Grandma Rule, of course) without insulting other opinions. If you're posting not to answer the original question, but to condemn someone for being too libertine/too prudish/not having the exact same values you do, then please don't bother to hit submit.

It's okay if people disagree. That's kind of cool and makes for interesting discussion. Your personal tolerance for sex in D&D is not what this thread is about, though.

I find it amusing that so many people who I often see focused on having their games maintain a degree of realism and internal consistency are uncomfortable having sex in their games. It's natural, it's happening between millions of people right now as I'm typing this, and it's continuing our species, for better or worse. Now, to address the topic, for a typical prostitute, a Human commoner with only one rank in those mentioned above. Samloyal23's adivce is great for the higher end "escort services." A Nymph or Succubus, if you can make them loyal enough, would truly be a walking tall tale.

Agreed. I think sex is fine in D&D, and didn't 1E have a wandering whore encounter table?

Unfortunately, not sure I can add much, most of the helpful posts have actually covered things quite well. Nymph, half-nymph, changeling, any of the +cha races... Worshipping Lastai can be good...

If changeling, warshaper would allow the growth of an additional appendage or expansion of an existing one... Probably horrifying more than anything for the player in question's request, though.

Having some psionic levels for Mindlink might help to make the sexual experiences feel more complete and overwhelming to the senses. In a similar note, I wonder what trippy fun could be had with the Synesthete power...

Ah, one of those types, eh? I was lucky enough that the only player in my group that wanted to play a prostitute was a girl and she turned it into a woman-exploits-man character.

Perhaps I misunderstood your post, but why is it wrong when the exploitation is one way yet ok when done in the other way?

Stream of the Sky, you may have not seen my post immediately above. Please edit your last post accordingly. While it can be an interesting topic, that discussion shouldn't occur in this thread.

Thanks.

I don't know which is funnier,

1) Someone has come up with a book for this
2) This comes up regularly in their game
3) So many people have posted variations of "I'm not helping", just don't post

I hope you enjoy this, it is a certainly strange concept from the way I game, I would imagine that a prostitute would be a level 3-4 commoner with 18 Charisma...and possible 18 Constitution but not much more

Yeah, the responses have been rather amusing. What makes it worse is he usually plays a somewhat evil, manipulative, prostitute. Should be an interesting campaign to say the least. I've decided to name my character is Batford Mannington, he's the hero this world deserves, but not the one it needs *slinks off*.

EDIT: Talked to the guy, he's looking to make something closer to a companion from Firefly (awesome show). So, hey, step up.

I did not see your post before posting.

I added "I think" in there. Not sure what else I can do to edit it to be acceptable short of removing the entire quoted post and first line.

Create a vampire posing as a prostitute to find her next meal. She makes him a vampire spawn as her companion.

Genesist · Mar 16, 2012

Good idea, but we're fighting vampires, so as soon as our group found out, we'd be forced to kill her, or something rather unfortunate to that effect.

I am thinking:
Fey-touched Star elf (not sure about the star elf part)
Bard 2/disciple of alluran 3/fey enticer 1.
