However, why aren't the Courtesan and Concubine outfits easily accessible like the Harlot's outfit? Granted, half the fun is taking stuff off, but still.Bastoche:I have to disagree. Apart from what I said in my earlier post, spells shouldn't be hard focus. Some of them will surely fall into that category, but the majority will be general purpose.  New cleric domains are not a problem, but adding new schools of magic is a major headache. The effects of any of our spells should easily be classified into the existing schools. Adding a [Sensual] subtype would be the better way to go. Why would only the Paladin get "anti-sex" spells? A Wizard or Sorcerer  or Cleric could just as easily have a grudge against sex or be a militant abstinent. There is nothing in any book I have seen so far that states that Paladins have to be celibate or can't enjoy sex. Granted, I'd seriously raise an eyebrow at a Paladin who cheats on his spouse or sleeps with a whole town, but in general, they are just like everybody else in the bedroom.The other overarcing factor for me here is that we've been working hard on this for quite some time now. If we restrict sexual magic to the degree that you are proposing, only very few people will ever use the spells. Not everybody wants to take a sexual prestige class or spend a feat just to cast a handful of sensual spells. IMO, for most people, one of  the biggest drawing points of the book will be the spells. Not all groups will use the Sexual Prowess rules or STD's or pregnancy rules. Spells are the easiest to drop into any running campaign, since you can pick and choose. Taking only part of the Sexual Prowess rules will take some serious tweaking, but picking a spell or two won't take any effort at all. Hence, if you restrict the spells, a lot of people will download the book and say "That's nice, but way too involved for my taste." and then shelf it away. I think that with the amount of time and effort spent on this, we should make it useable as possible.</blockquote>
