Message: <blockquote data-quote="Asher" data-source="post: 930629" data-attributes="member: 10601">Hi folks.  I've been trying to expand the existing Carnal Arts a bit, to offer a wider range of options for characters who take any given Art.  Ideally I'd like to see, within each Carnal Art set, at least two Arts available at each "tier" (3, 6, 9, 12, 15 ranks Prowess).  Below are the Immaculate Forms of the Master and the Flowers of the Decadent Blossom, with new Arts added to each (and one or two tweaks to previously existing Arts).Please feel free to critique and offer recommended improvements to the mechanics and the names of the new Arts.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.3 Ranks Prowess - Unfaltering OxMay be activated as a free action.  Allows character to assume and maintain sexual positions requiring feats of strength (ex. supporting partner's weight or own weight, sex while encumbered, etc.) without requiring a Strength check.  This ability lasts until the character Climaxes.6 Ranks Prowess - Charging RamMay be activated as a free action. Allows a character either to increase the effective size of a phallus they are penetrating someone with, or to decrease the effective size of an orifice being penetrated, by half a size category for the purposes of the Size Matters rules. When the character reaches 12 ranks of Prowess, the effective size may be altered in such a manner by a whole size category.  This ability continues until the character Climaxes.6 Ranks Prowess - Wrestling TigerMay be activated as a free action. Allows character to switch positions at any time, including in the middle of an extended round, without losing any Prowess checks.  The character is able to move a nonresisting partner into the desired position as part of the same action.  If the partner resists, both participants make opposed Strength checks to determine which position is used.  (This ability may be useful for a character who wishes to avoid climaxing too early, by quickly switching to a position in which the partner is not proficient.)  This ability is instantaneous and may be used without limit until the character becomes Exhausted.9 Ranks Prowess - Gulping HeronMay be activated before making a Prowess check. A character being penetrated may make a number of additional Prowess checks (Penetrative or NVI proficiencies as appropriate) equal to their Str modifier, taking the highest result. This ability is instantaneous.9 Ranks Prowess - Burrowing FerretMay be activated before making a Prowess check.  Allows character to use non-phallic appendages (fingers, toes, tongue) as if they were standard-size phalluses for the purposes of applying "technique suitability" DC modifiers (masturbatory and oral techniques may be used as penetrative techniques).  Potentially useful in multiple-partner scenarios.  This ability may be used at will until the character becomes Exhausted.12 Ranks Prowess - Squeezing BoaMay be activated when a successful grapple check is made. Allows character to put foe into a special pin in which they may make a Prowess check each extended round against foe, but take no other action. The character may roll a Prowess check instead of a grapple check to resist attempts to escape, but this check does not impose any Arousal or Horniness. This ability lasts until the pin is released.12 Ranks Prowess - Rutting FoxMay be activated as a free action. Allows an Aroused character to emit strong pheromones that act powerfully on the senses of sexually compatible persons.  The character automatically makes Prowess checks each round against all such persons within 5 feet, using the Mental Arousal DC table.  If the character is currently making active Prowess checks against a sex partner, the result of that Prowess check is added to the extra check, and the combined result is applied to the Mental Arousal DC table.  This ability continues until the character Climaxes.15 Ranks Prowess - Stinging CobraMay be activated before making a Prowess check. Should the Prowess check succeed, the partner must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + Str mod + 1/2 character’s Hit Dice). If they fail, they are stunned for one round. After one round, they must make another save or be stunned for nine rounds.15 Ranks Prowess - Perfect DragonMay be activated as a free action.  After bringing a partner to Climax using a Penetrative technique, the character automatically succeeds a number of additional Prowess checks equal to the character's STR modifier in the Extended Climax round.  After expending these automatic-success checks, the character may continue to make additional normal Prowess checks to continue the Extended Climax round.  This ability ends at the conclusion of the Extended Climax 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.3 Ranks Prowess - Lithesome LoverMay be activated as a free action.  Allows character to assume and maintain sexual positions requiring feats of dexterity (ex. unbalanced or contorted postures) without requiring a DEX check.  This ability lasts until the character Climaxes.3 Ranks Prowess - Peculiar DesiresThe character gains one Fetish for every three ranks of Prowess.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 using a Caress proficency against a partner that is clothed or even armoured. 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 before making a Prowess check. By passing a Prowess check (DC 20), the character can apply two proficiencies they know at once against a single partner in a turn. Double their rank bonus, and apply any modifiers relevant to each proficiency (this may result in some modifiers being applied twice). They may instead attempt to apply three maneouvres (Prowess check DC 30), four maneouvres (DC 40) and so on, trebling or quadrupling the rank bonus and applicable modifers as described above. Should the Prowess check fail, they lose their rank bonus to Prowess for this turn. This ability is instantaneous.9 Ranks Prowess - SpecialistMay be activated as a free action.  The character is a specialist in one of her proficiencies and, when using it, suffers no DC penalties for unusual or inappropriate technique.  This ability is instantaneous.12 Ranks Prowess - Nimble TouchMay be activated as a free action.  The character's manual dexterity is so great that he gains an additional Prowess check per round (applicable to himself or any partner), which *must* be used for a Masturbation technique.  (If the character is already using a Masturbation technique for his ordinary Prowess check, he gains no additional check.)  At 15 (18?) ranks of Prowess, the character gains this additional Prowess check for each hand (max. 2).  This ability lasts until the character Climaxes.12 Ranks Prowess - Uninhibited LoveMay be activated as a free action.  The character may negate any penalties incurred by his own or his partner's Frets.  Other situational penalties are halved.  If the character's Gratification score for the encounter is Extraordinary or higher, his relevant Frets are changed into the equivalent Fetishes instead.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 or saves against Prowess checks based on physical circumstances (such as location) and social circumstances (such as prior commitments, vows and relationships) are ignored by the character and any partners they have until they Climax. Should the character break off from the act of passion, the effect will also end.</blockquote>
