It’s nice to have some direction once this monumental project is brought to term, and I think it’s a fitting addition (as well as more exciting than a d20 modern conversion).Finally got the Sexual Alignment and Kinks systems sorted out. Phew. See below.* * *SEXUAL ALIGNMENTAll characters have a sexual alignment, in addition to their conventional alignment, gauging the power and direction of their libido. It is impossible to chart the depths of a person’s passion using this system, much as conventional alignments give little insight to a person’s philosophical standing. Instead, sexual alignment gives necessary mechanics, leaving the nature of a person’s tastes and attitudes to the players themselves.Sexual alignments are composed of two facets: a drive, representing the extent to which a person surrenders to their libido, and an orientation, displaying their preferrence in gender. Kinks, particular likes & dislikes, build up these (see section below).DriveAbstinent – Abstinent characters have better things to do with their time than indulge in petty hedonism. They may be focused on their cause, adamant in their self-control or simply fearful of social disapproval. They avoid sexual situations, and are often disdainful of those with less restraint than themselves.Moderant – Moderant characters are indeed sexual beings, but are not foolish enough to let their desires hold sway over them. They welcome an opportunity to exercise their passions, but sexuality is far from the be-all and end-all of life.Indulgent – Indulgent characters embrace their sexuality as a major, if not defining, factor of themselves and seek to gratify their urges whenever the opportunity presents itself. Those that repress their deepest feelings for whatever peculiar reasons are looked at with some confusion – why would they deny themselves to such an extent?OrientationGyno – Gyno characters are solely interested in the company of women; they are horrified and disgusted by the thought of sexual activity with men, treating them as an unaccepted gender for the purposes of Prowess checks.Bi-Gyno – Bi-Gyno characters prefer the company of women, and usually seek them exclusively. Attitudes to sexual activity with men range from inquisitiveness to disinterest, treating them as of an unpreferred gender for the purposes of Prowess checks.Bi – Bi characters may have a preference between men and women, but are essentially open to activity with everyone. They can be considered ‘sexually ambidextrous’ in that they can swing both ways without penalty.Bi-Andro - Bi-Andro characters prefer the company of men, and usually seek them exclusively. Attitudes to sexual activity with women range from inquisitiveness to disinterest, treating them as of an unpreferred gender for the purposes of Prowess checks.Andro - Andro characters are solely interested in the company of men; they are horrified and disgusted by the thought of sexual activity with women, treating them as an unaccepted gender for the purposes of Prowess checks.Sample AlignmentApollo Whiteheart (LN) is a 27-year-old human, possessed of muscular build and a shock of black hair. He comes across to his comrades as an ardent warrior whose only concern is for battle, never relinquishing in the face of his opponents and possessed of unbounded camaraderie. Below this solid exterior, however, Apollo’s love is not for combat but his male comrades (Andro). It is this repressed aspect that inspires his valiance in battle, but he does his best not to let his emotional concerns control him (Abstinent).Conventional and Sexual Alignment (sidebar)Whilst there are no fixed rules regarding the matter, a person’s ethical alignment may give some insight into their sexual one. A person’s libido is a haphazard, unpredictable force that defies attempts to analyse or control it, and hence is more prevalent amongst chaotic characters; lawful characters tend to repress their sexualities as an undesirable aspect of their mentality, or stratify and clarify it toward the andro- and gyno- orientations. Moral alignments offer fewer guidelines, but evil characters have a stronger tendency to sate themselves on the fulfilment that sexuality can provide at the expense of others, whilst good characters may mute their desires out of concern for the implications for their partners.KINKSWhilst a character’s basic sexual alignment gives an overall picture of a person’s desires, kinks highlight particular likes (fetishes) and dislikes (frets) of a person that deviates from the norm. Kinks are displayed by the type of kink (fetish or fret), followed by the subject of the kink, such as Fetish: wands or Fret: commitment.Kink PotencyAll fetishes and frets have a kink potency, representing the sway it holds over your character and its predominance in their mind. Those kinks arising from mundane means typically have a Potency of between 1 and 3; magically-induced kinks may double these numbers. The effect of Potency is described under Fetishes and Frets, below.FetishesThese are unusual desires for a given act, object, creature, concept or circumstance. Viewing the subject of the fetish (or things reminiscent of it) causes the character to become Horny unless the character can resist with a Will save (DC: 10 + Potency). Extensive contact or viewing the subject in a sexual manner may increase the DC, at the GM’s discretion. When the subject of a character’s fetish is incorporated into sexual activity, Prowess checks made against the character receive a kink bonus equal to the Potency of the fetish.Optional Rule: Compulsion (sidebar)Not having the opportunity to exercise their fetish is a disheartening thing for a character. Every time increment (see Table 5-XX: Compulsions) during which a character does not have sexual activity involving their fetish, they must make a Will save (DC: 10 + Potency) or suffer a cumulative –1 morale penalty to all saves. Each further increment requires another Will save or the morale penalty increases by 1, up to a maximum of the Kink’s Potency. Coming into sexual contact with the subject of the fetish negates all of these penalties.Table 5-XX: CompulsionsFetish Potency / Period before test1 / one year2 / one month3 / one week4 / one day5 / one hour6 / 10 minutesSpecial FetishesThese are particular fetishes that carry exceptions to the rules above.Danger – Prowess checks against characters with a fetish for danger do not suffer circumstantial modifiers for dangerous circumstances (instead receiving a kink bonus equal to the fetish’s Potency), although those against their partner may. Penalties for awkward circumstances may still apply. Rather hazardously, being placed in mortal danger requires a Will save (DC: 5 + Potency) to avoid the character becoming Horny.Exhibition – Prowess checks against characters with a fetish for danger do not suffer circumstantial modifiers for awkward circumstances due to public awareness (instead receiving a kink bonus equal to the fetish’s Potency), although those against their partner may. Penalties for dangerous circumstances may still apply.Masochism – Prowess checks against characters with masochism do not suffer penalties for damage inflicted, instead receiving the modifier as a bonus instead. Being hurt does not enforce a Will save to avoid Horniness, but being hurt in a sexual environment does.Nymphomania/Satyriasis – All Prowess checks made against characters with Nymphomania (female) or Satyriasis (male) receive a +1 kink bonus. Any sexual insinuation, joke or opportunity makes the character Horny unless a Will save (DC 15 + Potency) can be made. Nymphomania and Satyriasis add two to the fetish’s Potency for the purpose of determining compulsion (see sidebar).Sadism – When a partner receives damage during an extended round, characters with sadism receives the penalty they would have received as a bonus to Prowess checks made against them. Seeing others being hurt does not enforce a Will save to avoid Horniness, but seeing them being hurt in a sexual environment does.FretsThese are acts, objects, creatures, concepts or circumstances that revolt and disgust a character. Viewing the subject of the fret (or things reminiscent of it) causes the character to lose all Horniness unless the character can resist with a Will save (DC: 10 + Potency). Extensive contact or viewing the subject in a sexual manner may increase the DC, at the GM’s discretion. When the subject of a character’s fret is incorporated into sexual activity, Prowess checks made against the character have a kink penalty equal to the Potency of the fret.Determining Kinks (large sidebar)Assigning kinks to a character is an awkward proposition. As GM, first give the option to each player to decide their character’s kinks for them, based on the character’s concept. Some will prefer to do this, but the process is both mentally taxing and tends to make people think the player is as perverted as they make their character. Should your player prefer not to, else if they come back with unsatisfactory ideas, allow them to roll on Table 5-XX3: Kinks by Ethical Alignment. This is a table based on a character’s ethical alignment, assuming that more chaotic characters will have more varied desires. When you have the number and Potency of kinks decided, allow the character to choose what subjects to assign them, roll randomly on Tables 5-XX4 and 5-XX5, or some combination of the two.5-XX3: Kinks by Ethical AlignmentRoll a d100 on the table below until informed to stop rolling.
