However, since all non-fluff segments are open content, I'd suggest once we get to editing our spells, we check for duplicates and compare. Nothing I hate more than countless d20 spells by different publishers that do the same thing. My wife is working on an Excel spell list of all the books we own (which is a lot), and there are quite a few examples of duplicate spells, where there shouldn't be. How many different versions of a given cleric domain do we really need? So, instead of duplicating, we could reuse some of the material presented elsewhere. I am not saying the whole spell list from EA:Nymphology, but where applicable. My prime concern is the fact that most games will not have a sexual focus. It might be a part of it, maybe even a big part. However, if presented with the option of spending a lot of feats on sexual stuff or getting Power Attack and Cleave, most people will probably pick regular feats that are either beneficial to their survival or give general bonuses (like the various forms of Skill Focus). The first draft with just Sex Tricks based on ranks in Sexual Prowess was supporting this view, since skill points are a lot easier to come by, and you get a lot of those few ranks in Sexual Prowess. Maybe only a handful of ranks down the road when you gained a few levels. Having advanced versions (i.e. Carnal Arts) available is even cooler, but as said, feats are hard to come by, so if it can be handled with general feats that people already have, would be better in my opinion. Your latest draft relies on only one feat, and a minimum rank of 3. That's pretty good, and I can live with that. It ensures that even low-level NPC's can pick up a carnal art, and we don't have to deal with 20th level prostitutes. I am still a little worried that people will shy away from taking a feat, but as long as the standard sex tricks are still available, that shouldn't be an issue. Just a quick question on those two... does that mean that you get to use the Carnal Art in combat? Rub a little here and there as you grapple someone? I noticed similar ones in the other arts, but those two stuck out the most. If so, there would definitely be an increased value of getting the Carnal Arts feat, since it would be beneficial outside of your normal sex situation. Again, that's my only worry... we design an elaborate Carnal Arts system and nobody uses it because they don't want to "waste" a feat for it and just make due with standard Prowess checks.</blockquote>
