I've been following (lurking <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> at the other thread. I agree status conditions need revising. This is one of my suggestions. I'm not too good with 3e rules yet but this is what I've peiced together from the other guides and some stuff I think is a good idea. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The EssentialsNote: All aroused penalties are cumulative from these status conditions.HornyHorny characters are mentally aroused and ready for sex. They suffer a -1 arousal penalty to all non-sensual attack rolls, skill checks and saves for 10 minutes (2 minutes if in inappropriate conditions, including combat), and twice this amount to saves against arousal, seduction and spells with the [Arousal] descriptor. Successful spell casting requires a Concentration check (DC 10 + spell level). A successful Spot or Sense Motive check will give away this condition in another person (DC 20 if male, DC 25 female). Characters can become Horny at will by their own discretion unless extenuating circumstances prevail, in which case they must make a <prowess check> against themselves.ArousedAroused characters are physically aroused and ready for sex. Males must be in this state in order to perform coitus. They suffer a -1 arousal penalty to all non-sensual attack rolls, skill checks and saves for 10 minutes (2 minutes if in inappropriate conditions, including combat), and twice this amount to saves against arousal, seduction and spells with the [Arousal] descriptor. Successful spell casting requires a Concentration check (DC 10 + spell level). A successful Spot or Sense Motive check will give away this condition in another person (DC 20 if male, DC 25 female). Characters can become Aroused at will by their own discretion unless extenuating circumstances prevail, in which case they must make a <prowess check> against themselves. Any character that is receiving amorous attentions while Aroused, but is not Horny, must succeed a Will save (DC 15) every round or become Horny. PeakedPeaked characters are in a heightened state of arousal, needing just one more push to go over the brink. They require a Concentration check (DC 20) to do anything other than make <prowess> checks. Spell casting adds spell levels to this DC. Peaked characters are automatically Aroused and Horny. This obvious condition lasts 1 minute before residing to Aroused.ClimaxedClimaxed characters are overcome by orgasm, and are considered Helpless whilst the condition lasts (usually one round). <One point of subdual damage is taken for each Hit Dice the character possesses.> A Concentration check (DC 40) allows action as if Aroused. Spell casting is only an option with a Concentration check (DC 40 + spell level). After this period, male characters lose all arousal, and further checks against them for (10-Con mod) minutes suffer a -10 penalty. Female characters reside to Aroused.The OptionalThese conditions could be removed all together in favor of a certain sex trick, magic spell, or potion, though if all of these are going to be used, I recommend a neutral ground they can all build on, hence the status condition <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />LustfulLustful characters are more than just horny and ready for sex; they crave it. A Lustful character is automatically both Horny and Aroused and will often initiate seduction attempts of their own toward any semi-suitable partner they can find. Characters of evil and chaotic alignments may attempt to rape these objects of lust if their attentions are rebuffed. If no partner is present, lustful characters will often masturbate themselves. Lustful characters must succeed a Will save every minute to avoid fulfilling themselves. This condition lasts 5 minutes (1 minute in inappropriate circumstances), and the detection DC is 5 for males, 10 for females. The Horny and Aroused conditions last after the Lustful duration has expired. Lustful is not a normal condition and can only be evoked by very skilled sex arts, magic, or substances.Over-stimulatedThe character has gone beyond Peaked and is in sexual agony as they are a hair’s breadth away from release, but climax is teasingly withheld from them. While in this state, they require a Concentration check (DC 20) to do anything other than make Prowess checks, and they incur penalties as if Aroused and Horny even if the check succeeds. Over-stimulated characters will masturbate if no appropriate mate can be found, but all checks to self-pleasure themselves while in this state suffer a –20 penalty. Spell casting adds spell levels to this DC.  An Over-stimulated character will agree to do almost anything to be allowed to achieve climax, and must make a Will save to resist agreeing to any such offers. The save’s DC equals 10 + the offering character’s Charisma modifiers. Finally, an Over-stimulated character must make a Will save every round (DC 18) or take 1 point of temporary Wisdom damage. This obvious condition lasts 1 minute and resides to Peaked. Should the Over-stimulated character’s Wisdom score fall below 3, they become Sexually Delirious.Sexually DeliriousA character that reaches this stage is considered Helpless. The only action he or she is capable of is mindless sexual congress. The character will seek out the nearest partner (only radically differing sexual alignment issues will be rejected). If no partner is available, the character masturbates. Resisting this urge requires a Will save (DC 30) every round. Even if successful, all other actions require a Concentration check (DC 40). Spell casting is only an option with a Concentration check (DC 50 + spell level). A character in this state can be Climaxed, but always returns to this state. All subdual damage taken from orgasm is halved (round down, minimum 1 point) while Sexually Delirious. He or she is also suggestible as per the Hypnotize spell and loses all Will save bonuses until he or she gets 8 hours of complete rest. Sexually Delirious characters remain so until their Wisdom score rises to 3 (in which case they reside to Over-Stimulated), or they fall unconscious.UnwillingIf a character does not wish sexual activity, they may consider themselves Unwilling. Unwilling characters may add their rape bonus (a bonus ranging from 1 to 20+ depending on the campaign setting) to all Fortitude and Will saves and all Concentration checks to resist sexual effects and activities. A character cannot try to simulate another person or make Prowess checks while in this state. Over-Stimulated and Sexually Delirious characters cannot be Unwilling. If a character is Unwilling and is brought to one of these conditions, they loose the Unwilling status and begin sexual activity of their own volition. If a character is in one of these conditions and is subject to some extreme act that might bring them to (being brutally stabbed, extreme pain, etc…) they may make a Will save (DC 25) using their rape bonus and any damage taken that round as a bonus to reside to Peaked and become Unwilling.Why so intricate? I believe if you are going to use stauts conditions, you should USE them. Otherwise axe them from the system as a whole, IMHO. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I think the Prowess idea for sex tricks is a good idea. And I'm in favor of set DCs like the Hard Focus rules present. They might make you consult a chart, but you still have the option of an opposed roll and there is no math involved. I'll make a standard chart for the above if any wants (but I'm sure it will meet with harsh critics.) That's it for now. Hope I'm not butting in too much. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /></blockquote>
