Long Post!About feat prerequisites for carnal arts, I still think we should use general feats rather than specific ones. It defeats the purpose of arts (remember martial arts are supposed to be sort of synergy bonuses that you get for free when you have the right skill & feat combo). Keying them to feats who have no other role follow a totally different philosophy.Here's a proposal:IMMACULATE FORMS OF THE MASTERBefore arising to become the Master of the Immaculate Forms, Weil-Hung lived a life of monastic seclusion, of quiet contemplation and iron discipline. It is against these principles that he rebelled - it is Weil-Hung’s dogma that life is best experienced by really living - sense achieved by sensuality. After a time of hedonistic travelling, he drew upon his martial prowess and sensual experience to found a school of martial arts that forms a very real war of the sexes.Prerequisite: Str 13+, 3 or more ranks of Sexual Prowess, Endurance, Stunning Fist. (the SF requirement assumes the stunning fist ability is based on knowledge of ki meridian and other mystic energy point of the body).FLOWERS OF THE DECADENT BLOSSOMThis art was born from the hedonistic aristocracy of Sumfing Oranutha, the noble and the rich who turned their backs on the concerns of the real world in order to immerse themselves in a lifetime of relationships, affairs and, more often than they would like to admit, downright debauchery. The Flowers were their only cultural legacy, a carnal art suited to such a solipsistic life.Prerequisites: 5 or more ranks of Sexual Prowess, 2 or more ranks Perform, Alertness, Lightning Reflexes.TECHNIQUES OF THE HALFLING HARLOTLegends state that the Art of the Halfling Harlot is as old as the profession, which, being the oldest in the world, makes its origins hard to trace indeed. The Art flourishes within the halfling prostitution community, passed down to young escorts as an essential survival skill as much as anything else; outsiders are free to learn it, but its limited application means that they seldom ask.Prerequisite: Con 13+, 3 or more ranks of Sexual Prowess, either Endurance, Great Fortitude or Toughness.TRICKS OF THE GREAT IMPROVISOThe sad demise of the gnome known only as the Improviso (and, since, the Great Improviso) was recorded less than a hundred years ago. The legendary arcanalist walked the world dabbling in the sensual arts, and his desire to acquire undisclosed knowledge is equalled only by his urge to pass it on - the Naughtie Works of the Improviso has since been etched in more than a dozen languages and circulated across the Great Wheel. For those who can afford the time to study it and the intellect to understand it, the Naughtie Works provide many useful nuggets of information.Prerequisite: Int 13+, 6 or more ranks of Sexual Prowess, Iron Will.LORE OF THE TANTRIC ANCIENTSAncient tomes write of the wisdom of a monastic order from ancient times, whose control of body echoed through to a discipline of the mind and purity of spirit. Those few wise individuals that perpetuate the teachings of the tantric ancients welcome new pupils, knowing that with mastery over the body equal control over one’s destiny can be attained.Prerequisite: Wis 13+, 3 or more ranks of Sexual Prowess, Endurance, Iron WillART OF THE IMMORTAL NYMPHThe greatest and most glamorous of courtesans pass around a group of postures, techniques and mindsets that serve only to enhance their natural charm. Only those demonstrating professionalism in attitude and prowess are deigned suitable to acquire such knowledge - the Art is seldom acquired outside of the Courtesans’ Guild.Prerequisite: Cha 13+, 3 or more ranks in each of Sexual Prowess, Bluff, and Perform, Skill Focus (Perform or Sexual Prowess)</blockquote>
