Here are a few notes:Introduction:A few pages on the history of "blue" magic, its practicioners and how it is viewed by other mages and the general public. It then launches into a discussion of the dangers of sex magic (over-indulgence, broken hearts, etc.). It is finished out by new uses for existing spells. An interesting spin on this was that most spells started out with a carnal idea and were generalized to be presented to the teachers at the wizard's school. This section is fairly brief and each spell school only mentions one or two spells.Spells:Twelve pages of spells. All of them are either Bard or Sor/Wiz. No cleric spells, no druid spells, no new domain lists. Nothing earth-shattering here, but a few nice ones. Once we get to spells, I'll compare and see what kind of overlap we have, but I am not expecting too much. Plane of Lust:This is fairly well done, but all in all it is different enough from our Plane of Eros so we don't really have to worry about it. Theirs states that it is the source of all lust and love, ours is where it ends up. Maybe we can mention the Plane of Lust as bordering the Plane of Eros. Then we have the Creature of Lust template. Same idea as ours, but slightly different when it comes to abilitities. Maybe rename ours to "Carnal Creature"?Prestige Classes:All of them are 5-level PrC's. Agony Mage: relationship/sex therapist who can pry personal secrets from "clients" and sometimes uses them for blackmail.Mystic Pimp: summoner who rents out summoned beings for obvious purposes.Seducer: erotic mage, but rather plainly done. Considering there are no actual sex rules in the book, not surprising.Peeping Scryer: diviner gone badSkills&Feats:As mentioned in my earlier post, nothing too earthshattering here. A handful of new alchemical concoctions, a new DC table for Concentration to cast spells during sexual activities, and new suggested used for the Perform skill. Feats... new use for Endurance, one called Bedroom Proficiency (+2 social skills for romantic encounters), another one that gives a small bonus to social skills with people you had sex with within the last month, and the abovementioned "Use Cha for spell DC's" feat. Nothing at all like our section. Magic Items:A handful of cockrings and chastity belts, 3 new potions, a new armor enhancement (Flattering Armor... +2 Cha skills with appropriate targets), one really silly weapon (Porksword of Popping), and some misc. items like Sexy Sheets (self-cleaning and casts an illusion on your bedpartner in the morning to avoid heart attack), Hoisery of Lacyness (when worn with nothing else gives you the benefit of some of the sexyness-enhancing spells), and my favorite... the Carved Monkey of Spanking (after you spank it, you are immune to sex-magic for 24 hours).Lastly, we have Creatures...Nothing terribly exciting... mostly silly critters like the Bearded Clam or a plant that pretends to be a naked humanoid inviting someone to have sex, only to ram a seedpod into their rectum. All in all, it's nice, and I laughed a lot. It's definitely a nice companion volume to the BoUCK.</blockquote>
