Message: <blockquote data-quote="Death By Surfeit" data-source="post: 782109" data-attributes="member: 8646">(continued)EXOTIC FEATSThese are in addition to the normal feats available to characters, as found in Chapter 4 of the PHB.BODY TO DIE FOR (General)You beauty is otherworldy - the mere sight of your body drives potential partners wild.Prerequisites: Sex Appeal, Cha 17+Benefit: By acting a provocatively (a partial action), you may force all creatures of compatible sexual alignment to become Horny unless they pass a Will save (DC: 10 + Cha modifier). They may attempt to avoid looking at your sumptuous form: treat as a gaze attack.Special: Your body’s shape must be clearly visible; you may not benefit from this feat whilst wearing armour or bulky clothing of any kind. By foregoing clothing entirely (rings, necklaces and other jewellery may still be worn), you may instead use this ability once per round as a free action.BULLETPROOF BEAUTY (General)Your gorgeous form drives opponents to the point of distraction.Prerequisites: Sex Appeal, Body to Die For, Cha 19+Benefit: You may add your Charisma modifier as a bonus to AC, even when flat-footed or immobilised. This bonus does not stack with a monk’s Wisdom bonus.Special: Your body’s shape must be clearly visible; you may not benefit from this feat whilst wearing any significant amount of clothing, let alone armour. By foregoing clothing entirely (jewellery may still be worn), you can impose a morale penalty equal to your Charisma modifier on all melee attacks against you from creatures of compatible sexual alignment.COITAL CASTING (General)Your physical arousal only improves your spellcasting abilities.Prerequisites: Coital Concentration, 8 or more ranks in Prowess, 12 or more ranks in ConcentrationBenefit: When you succeed at the Concentration check to ignore penalties for arousal, you may add your arousal penalty instead as an arousal bonus to the DCs of all your sensual spells.COITAL CONCENTRATION (General)You remain focused even whilst physically aroused.Prerequisites: Sensual spellcaster, 4 or more ranks in Prowess, 6 or more ranks in ConcentrationBenefit: With a successful Concentration check (DC 10 Aroused, 20 Peaked, 30 Climaxed, 40 Ecstatic), you may act normally, ignoring all penalties for physical arousal.Normal: Arousal infers penalties on skill checks, attack rolls and saves. Spells require Concentration checks to cast successfully. Unless a Fortitude save can be passed, Climaxed or Ecstatic characters are considered helpless.CONDUCTIVE KISS (Metapsionic)You may disguise your powers as a passionate kiss.Prerequisites: Knowledge of Telepathy powersBenefit: By kissing an opponent (an attack-equivalent grapple action), you can ease the linking of minds that is the foundation of Telepathy powers. The spells no have ‘Kiss’ range and affect only the creature kissed, but are affected as if by the Hide Power (all displays) metapsionic feats, regardless of whether you possess them.DIVINE RAPTURE (Divine)You may manifest your god’s power as raw sensual energy.Prerequisites: Ability to turn/rebuke undead, ability to channel positive energy.Benefit: By expending one of your turn/rebuke attempts, you may smite living foes with carnal power. Roll the turning check and damage roll as normal to determine who you can affect; each has a Prowess check made against them (d20 + Cha modifer).FLOWERS OF THE DECADENT BLOSSOM (Carnal Art)Your experience encompasses the many techniques of this exclusive Carnal Art.Prerequisite: Int 13+, 3 or more ranks of Sexual ProwessBenefit: You may safely use the manoeuvres of this Art a number of times equal to your Dexterity modifier before resting.Normal: Characters without this feat cannot use the Art’s techniques.Special: You may take this feat multiple times, allowing you to use the manoeuvres an additional number of times equal to your Dexterity modifier before resting.IMMACULATE FORMS OF THE MASTER (Carnal Art)You have been taught under the school of master Weil Hung.Prerequisite: Str 13+, 3 or more ranks of Sexual ProwessBenefit: You may safely use the manoeuvres of this Art a number of times equal to your Strength modifier before resting.Normal: Characters without this feat cannot use the Art’s techniques.Special: You may take this feat multiple times, allowing you to use the manoeuvres an additional number of times equal to your Strength modifier before resting.IMPROVED ENDURANCE (General)Your sexual abilities allow you to resist stimulation better.Prerequisite: Endurance, 1 or more ranks in ProwessBenefit: You may add your ranks in Prowess to Fortitude saves to resist Arousal effects.Normal: Mundane changes in Arousal may be resisted with a Fortitude save; magical effects may be resisted as explained in the spell description.IRON CELIBACY (General)Your powers of self-control are astounding with regard to sexual matters; your resolve in celibacy protects you from the attentions of others and the insidious effects of sensual magic.Prerequisites: Iron Will, Abstinent sexual alignmentBenefit: You gain a Will save to ignore the effects of a successful Bluff (seduction) or arousal check on you (DC: check result). This stacks with any other opportunities to resist seduction or arousal. You gain Spell Resistance equal to your character level plus your Wisdom modifier against spells with the [Libido-Affecting] or [Arousal] descriptors.Special: If the character willingly engages in any form of sexual activity, the effects of this feat are suspended until a character Atones (see Atonement, PHB).LORE OF THE TANTRIC ANCIENTS (Carnal Art)You have researched the teachings of the ancient Tantric school.Prerequisite: Wis 13+, 3 or more ranks of Sexual ProwessBenefit: You may safely use the manoeuvres of this Art a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier before resting.Normal: Characters without this feat cannot use the Art’s techniques.Special: You may take this feat multiple times, allowing you to use the manoeuvres an additional number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier before resting.MASSIVELY HUNG (General)You are more than well hung for your race.Prerequisites: Must be male, must be taken at 1st levelBenefit: Your phallus is half a size category larger than usual for your race (eg. a halfling could count as a small-and-a-half-size partner, or an orc Large).Special: Certain individual races already count as larger than a normal member of their size category; if they gain this feat, the circumstances stack (ouch).PSIONIC CARESS (Psionic)Your touch delivers surges of sensual pleasure to your target’s brain.Prerequisite: Psionic Touch, Cha 13+Benefit: If pay the cost of 1 power point beforehand, your hand becomes ‘charged’ with potent carnal energy. If you succeed with a melee touch attack against a target, you may make an Arousal check. Your hand remains charged until you touch the target, else for a number of rounds equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier.Special: If used in addition to a normal Arousal check, this skill allows you two attempts to stimulate a partner each turn.SENSUAL STING (General)Your mastery of the whip allows you to stimulate your foes even through the pain of your whip.Prerequisites: Weapon Focus (whip),Weapon Finesse (whip), Dex 15+Benefit: Whilst using a whip, a successful ranged touch attack allows you to make Prowess checks against another creature within the whip’s reach as a full-round action. The whip still inflicts subdual damage - unless your victim has the Masochism fetish, they may add the damage dealt as a bonus to Prowess resistance checks.Normal: Prowess checks can only be made on creatures in the same hex, as a full-round action. An unwilling opponent must be grappled first. Whips can typically only be used to attack, trip, disarm etc.SEX APPEAL (General)Your appearance is particularly alluring to the opposite sex.Prerequisite: Cha 13+Benefit: This feat confers a +2 bonus on all Bluff, Diplomacy and Prowess checks against creatures of compatible sexual alignment.SMOOCH SPELL (Metamagic)You can bypass opponent’s protection from your spells to resist by delivering them with a kiss.Benefit: You can prepare any spell with this feat. Doing so decreases the spell’s range to ‘Kiss’, but ignores any Spell Resistance possessed by the spell’s target. In order to deliver this spell, you must kiss the subject of the spell; if the subject is unwilling, the kiss is an attack-equivalent grapple action.SUBTLE CARESS (General)Your knowledge of anatomy can be used to arouse pleasure as easily as it can inflict pain.Prerequisites: Sneak attack ability, 12 ranks of ProwessBenefit: When making a Prowess check as a grapple action, you may add your sneak attack damage as a bonus to your roll. Note that this bonus does not apply to other forms of Prowess checks: the capacity to quickly arouse does not equate to a good performance.Normal: Prowess checks may be made forcefully on a grappled opponent as a full-round action.TECHNIQUES OF THE HALFLING HARLOT (Carnal Art)You are privy to the Techniques of the Halfling Harlot, as passed down by the trade throughout the ages.Prerequisite: Con 13+, 3 or more ranks of Sexual ProwessBenefit: You may safely use the manoeuvres of this Art a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier before resting.Normal: Characters without this feat cannot use the Art’s techniques.Special: You may take this feat multiple times, allowing you to use the manoeuvres an additional number of times equal to your Constitution modifier before resting.TRICKS OF THE IMPROVISO (Carnal Art)You have studied the Naughtie Works of the legendary gnome Arcanalist.Prerequisite: Int 13+, 3 or more ranks of Sexual ProwessBenefit: You may safely use the manoeuvres of this Art a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier before resting.Normal: Characters without this feat cannot use the Art’s techniques.Special: You may take this feat multiple times, allowing you to use the manoeuvres an additional number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier before resting.TRUE LOVE (General)You are truly, madly, deeply in love with someone else.Prerequisites: NoneBenefit: You may make a Will save to negate the effect of a Bluff (seduction) check made against you by anyone other than your true love – the same Will save may be made to negate any compulsion to hurt (physically, mentally or emotionally) your true love. If the love is reciprocal (that is, both people take the feat), you may double bonuses for flanking and skill cooperation when working with your true love.Special: You really do have to be in love with another: unless you act accordingly, this feat is rendered useless until your differences are made up. And yes, it is possible (although hard) to take this feat multiple times, each relating to a different individual.WAY OF THE YEARNING ROSE (Carnal Art)You know the patterns inherent to the Way of the Rose.Prerequisite: Cha 13+, 3 or more ranks of Sexual ProwessBenefit: You may safely use the manoeuvres of this Art a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier before resting.Normal: Characters without this feat cannot use the Art’s techniques.Special: You may take this feat multiple times, allowing you to use the manoeuvres an additional number of times equal to your Charisma modifier before resting.CARNAL ARTSCarnal arts are positions, maneouvres which enhance your sexual prowess in new and interesting ways. Each of the Arts is linked to a key ability score - the higher your score, the more useful it will be to you. The manoeuvres of the six basic Carnal Arts are listed below.In order for you to gain access to an Art, you must take the relevant feat. Once this is taken, you may use the Art’s techniques a number of times equal to the appropriate ability score (or more, if you take the feat multiple times). More and more different techniques become available as you progress in levels of Prowess, in much the same manner that more and more applications of bardic music become available when a bard goes up ranks in Perform.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.3 Ranks Prowess - Mating BullMay be activated as a free action. Allows character to apply their Str bonus instead of Cha when calculating their modifier for Prowess checks. This ability continues until the character Climaxes.6 Ranks Prowess - Charging RamMay be activated as a free action. Allows character to increase the effective size of a phallus they are penetrating someone with by half a size category for the purposes of the Size Matters rules. When the character reaches 12 ranks of Prowess, the size may be increased in such a manner by a whole size category. This ability continues until the character Climaxes.9 Ranks Prowess - Gulping HeronMay be activated at start of character’s initiative pass. Allows character being penetrated to make extra Prowess checks in one round equal to their Str modifer on owner of said phallus. The highest score is taken to resolve the effect of these. This ability lasts for one round.12 Ranks Prowess - Squeezing BoaMay be activated when a successful grapple check is made. Allows character to put foe into a pin in which they may make a Prowess check each round against foe, but inflict no damage. Any attempts to escape can be negated by a higher Prowess check by character, the effects of which are instantly applied. This ability lasts until the pin is released.15 Ranks Prowess - Stinging CobraMay be activated at start of character’s initiative pass. All unarmed attacks made during that round, if successful, deal no damage but instead allow an instant Prowess check to be made against the target (all appropriate modifers apply). This ability lasts for one round.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.3 Ranks Prowess - Courtesan’s FinesseMay be activated as a free action. Allows character to apply their Dex bonus instead of Cha when calculating their modifier for Prowess checks. This ability continues until the character Climaxes.6 Ranks Prowess - Love for ManyMay be activated as a free action. The character halves penalties for making Prowess checks against multiple partners at once - that is to say that checks are at only -2 for each partner beyond the first. When the character achieves 12 ranks of Prowess, the penalty is removed entirely. This ability lasts until the character Climaxes.6 Ranks Prowess - Secret AffairMay be activated as a free action. The character may make Prowess checks of an appropriate nature (GM’s discretion) against a partner that is clothed or even armoured (normally, making checks against a clothed partner incurs at least a -2 penalty; it is impossible to make checks against an armoured partner). No penalties apply to making checks against a clothed partner; the partner’s armour penalty applies to any checks made against them. This ability lasts until the character Climaxes.9 Ranks Prowess - Love of ManyMay be activated at the start of the character’s initiative pass. By passing a Prowess check (DC 20), the character can apply two proficiencies they know at once (all circumstantial modifiers apply for each) against a single partner in a turn. Double their Prowess rank bonus for this turn if the check was successful. They may instead attempt to apply three maneouvres (Prowess check DC 30), four maneouvres (DC 40) and so on, in the nature described above. Should the Prowess check fail, they lose their rank bonus to Prowess for this turn. This ability lasts for one turn.15 Ranks Prowess - Open RomanceMay be activated as a free action. The character’s partner(s) and onlookers appear unconcerned about wordly matters, losing themselves in the act of passion. All penalties based on physical circumstances (such as location) and social circumstances (such as prior commitments and relationships) are ignored until they Climax. Should the character break off from the act of passion, the effect will also end.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.3 Ranks Prowess - AccomodationMay be activated before testing for damage under the Size Matters rules. The character automatically passes their Fortitude saves to minimise damage under the Size Matters rules. This ability continues until the character Climaxes.6 Ranks Prowess - RelaxationMay be activated as a free action. Allows character to increase the effective size of one of their orifices by half a size category for the purposes of the Size Matters rules. When the character reaches 12 ranks of Prowess, the size may be increased in such a manner by a whole size category. This ability continues until the character Climaxes.6 Ranks Prowess - SelflessnessMay be activated at the start of a combat turn, when in a situation where both partners are making Prowess checks against each other. For the remainder of this turn, the character may get a bonus of up to twice their Con bonus to their Prowess rolls - all Prowess checks made against the character this turn receive an equal penalty. This ability continues until the character Climaxes, although the penalties taken can be changed each turn.9 Ranks Prowess - SufferingMay be activated before taking damage as part of sexual congress. For the purposes of any partners or onlookers with the Sadism fetish, treat the damage as the maximum possible incurred (maximum value for damage rolls, treat Fort saves as if they were failed, and so on), regardless of how much is actually dealt. This ability continues until the character Climaxes.15 Ranks Prowess - MelodramaMay be activated as a free action. All partners and onlookers gain the Sadism fetish until they Climax - should the character break off sexual activity, the effects of this maneouvre ends.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.3 Ranks Prowess - ImaginationMay be activated as a free action. Allows character to apply their Int bonus instead of Cha when calculating their modifier for Prowess checks. This ability continues until the character Climaxes.6 Ranks Prowess - AdaptabilityMay be activated as a free action. The character halves penalties for making Prowess checks against creatures of a different Type - that is to say that such checks are at only -2. When the character achieves 12 ranks of Prowess, the penalty is removed entirely. This ability lasts until the character Climaxes.6 Ranks Prowess - ImprovisationMay be activated as a free action. The character may apply their Prowess bonus to the use of any proficiency, regardless of whether they are proficient in it or not. This ability lasts until the character Climaxes.9 Ranks Prowess - SubtletyMay be activated at the start of the character’s initiative pass. A single Prowess check made during the turn is so subtle that the partner must make a Sense Motive check (DC: Prowess check result) to notice that they are doing so. This may be used to make Prowess checks against a partner that consents to basic bodily contact - should they pass their check, however, they snatch away and the effect of the Prowess check is negated. This ability lasts for one Prowess check made by the character.15 Ranks Prowess - Mind GamesMay be activated after making a Prowess check against a partner. Unless the partner can resist (DC: Prowess check result), they are fooled into becoming ever more passionate and their physical arousal spurns mental horniness - an Aroused partner also becomes Horny, a Peaked partner also becomes Lustful, and a Climaxed or Ecstatic partner also becomes Delirious. These effects last for as long as the status conditions do.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.3 Ranks Prowess - Joy of the SpiritMay be activated as a free action. Allows character to apply their Int bonus instead of Cha when calculating their modifier for Prowess checks. This ability continues until the character Climaxes.6 Ranks Prowess - Humble the MountainMay be activated after character has been aroused to Climax. Although all usual effects of the Climaxed state are applied, no sexual fatigue is incurred. Characters undergoing an ecstatic state instead incur fatigue as if they had merely Climaxed. Once the character attains 12 ranks of Prowess, even the fatigue of an Ecstatic state can be dismissed entirely. This ability is instantaneous.6 Ranks Prowess - Dam the RiverMay be activated after a Prowess check is made against the character. Allows the character to automatically succeed in the Fortitude save to resist arousal. This ability is instantaneous.9 Ranks Prowess - Climb the MountainMay be activated after character has been aroused to Climax. The check result of the partner is modified to the minimum required to induce an Ecstatic state - apply all effects of this normally. This ability is instantaneous.15 Ranks Prowess - Swim the RiverMay be activated at the start of a character’s initiative pass. For this round, the character suffers no ill effect (adverse status conditions, penalties or Concentration checks) for any arousal they possess. Where relevant, bonuses still apply, as do penalties from horniness and sexual fatigue incurred. This ability lasts one turn.ART 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.3 Ranks Prowess - Encapsulating TouchMay be activated after making a Prowess check. For one turn, the partner against whom the check was made automatically fails any Concentration checks incurred because of arousal. This ability is instantaneous.6 Ranks Prowess - Dreamlike PresenceMay be activated as a free action. Passionate exploits with the character take on a surreal edge - any partner or onlooker halves (round down) one penalty incurred due to differing sexual alignment or frets (character’s decision). Should the character acquire 12 ranks in Prowess, one penalty may be totally negated instead. This ability lasts until the character Climaxes.6 Ranks Prowess - Beatific PresenceMay be activated as a free action. When performing a striptease, exotic dance or similar proficiency with penalties to rise partners above an Aroused state, those penalties are negated, as even the form of the character is enough to induce massive pleasure. This ability lasts until the onlookers Climax.9 Ranks Prowess - Irresistable TouchMay be activated after making a Prowess check. The character’s partner is not allowed their Fortitude save to negate the effects of the Prowess check - any other saves in place (such as the Will save for someone with Iron Celibacy) still apply, however. This ability is instantaneous.15 Ranks Prowess - Monumental PresenceMay be activated after a session of sexual activity. The bonus attitude change resulting from the Very Social Art rules is irrevocable - although their fundamental attitude may become more unfriendly (or even hostile), the sweet memories ensure that the attitude modifer from their time together still applies. This ability is permanent.(NB: Sorry, VVrayven, I didn’t have your Arts to hand when I typed this up – they will have to feature in the first revision I churn out. Hope you can forgive me!)- - -And that just about wraps it up for now. As mentioned before, I need you to get back to me as soon as feasibly possible with whatever natterings on the subject you can come up with. The GUCK, for the first time, is showing a modicum of ability to stand alone by itself – the draft above can be added as a module into any campaign right now, if you wish. After the revision of the draft above, we will tackle the rest of the guide in the following order:1) Kinks, sexual alignment and suchforth – things that would be in the draft above were they complete at the time this was typed up. Any contributions on this topic are very much valued.2) Spells, spellcasting and spellcasters – these are essentially a direct extension of the core mechanics and need to be arranged before we can get anything else underway.3) Magic items – directly based on the mechanics listed above, so probably worth doing next. Once these are done, we can claim to have a relatively comprehensive Guide.4) Descriptions, essays, monsters, rules for prostitution, pregnancy & diseases, and suchforth. With the advent of their finalisation, the Guide will be pretty much complete.5) Much, much rejoicing.Cheers,Death by Surfeit(knackered)</blockquote>
