Message: <blockquote data-quote="brevdravis" data-source="post: 906486" data-attributes="member: 11994">Sexual alignment feedback...Regarding your ideas on the base alignment,I like the general ideas, here's a quick one building off them.How bout nine quick roll tables that allow you to roll up a character's sexuality based off their alignment, (GM table for NPC's but for those players who like a little randomness in their character as well).  I just think a person's moral code, can and does have a bearing on their sexuality.  (There are many exceptions of course, which is why I think a chance for any sexuality, but a tendency towards one or the other, is appropriate.)So, here's my quick thoughts on the tables, let me know what you think. (Mirrors some of the stuff on the site, but not all of it.)Lawful characters tend towards one of the absolutes.  Their adherance to law insists that they make their choice and stick to it, with none of the flexibility that other alignments allow.  The full spectrum of drive is present in these characters, good characters more often then not channeling their desire into their (usually monogamous) relationships, while evil characters take advantage of anyone they legally can have.Neutral (With regards to law/chaos)  tend to have no consistent pattern.  The full spectrum of sexuality is found in them, often depending on how close to either law or chaos they themselves are.  Neutrals do not tend toward any particular gender or drive, since as a whole they represent the "middle ground"Chaotic.  Chaotics tend towards the "if it feels good, do it" school of thought.  Whereas lawful characters tend toward the extremes of sexual orientation, Chaotics tend towards experimentation.  Good chaotics always take their partners feelings into account, sometimes even not starting a relationship if their partner cannot handle the chaotics "free spirited" ways.  Evil chaotics tent to take what they can get, regardless of other's feelings.  Again, drive varies with chaotics,   since it is not the appetite, but the tendency towards variety that the chaos suggests.Good.  Good tends towards honesty and truth in relationships.  Whether lawful or chaotic, good characters will not deliberately take advantage of their lovers or try to hurt them emotionally.  As far as sexuality goes, Good does not tend towards any one orientation (Despite the words of some Lawful Neutral priests).  The one place that good does tend toward something is in drive.  Good tends towards the abstinent drive, for the simple reason that good believes in holding itself in check.  Whether lawful or chaotic, good does not believe in doing ANYTHING that is desired, the feelings of others are always considered.Neutral (Good/evil)  Neutral, once again, is the middle ground.  However, in this area, Neutral does tend towards the "Moderate" sex drive.  The reason being that the vast majority of neutrals may occasionally indulge in areas that a good character would not.Evil .  Evil once again does not tend towards any orientation.  However, the emphasis on self gratification means that evil characters tend to have an indulgent sex drive.  Though by no means the rule, (There are plenty of good characters who are also indulgent)  the emphasis on getting what they want means that evil characters tend to have a larger appetite than others.There's my quick thoughts,  I can go on a bit more if you like.(Hope I'm not too far off topic here....)Stuart</blockquote>
