Seriously though, we wouldn't want to yackle hard yasks alone. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />The presumption was that the title changes according to the gender of whoever holds it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> I don't mind the current title you've affixed me with though, so it's all good.I'm not sure what you're pointing us towards with the "(below)" notation there. I agree with bumping it up a level due to the fact that it tells you exactly what type of disease it is with an Int check. I also propose that the whole "Int check" part be removed, making only a Heal check; someone who had never studied diseases before shouldn't be able to adequately make a check to determine the type of disease.I concur that for a "mere" detection spell, this one is too forthcoming at its level. Learning the date of birth, stage of pregnancy, and even the child's gender is a bit too much. Make it 1st level. I'm unsure about making the Wis check a Heal check though...you don't need to be too trained in midwifery to understand how long ago the child was conceived, or what sex it is, for example.Presumably it would detect all the interests a target had. I concur with your comments here though.I disagree here. Removing the duration and saying he goes into recovery simply means that he's going to have a harder time getting it up...a male can become erect when in Recovery, its just harder. That's not the point of this spell; it's supposed to be that no matter what his arousal state is, he remains flaccid. Keep the duration.The obvious application here is that this spell is meant to be a guard against morning sickness in pregnant females. For what its worth, "Nauseated" is a status condition that D&D characters can suffer from......that said, I recommend changing the duration to 1 hour/level. Since the spell not only cures current nausea, but assures the target will not suffer from it in the future, the name might better be "Protection From Nausea".I recommend re-naming it "Real Doll", an in-gag based on the web-company that produces the sex-dolls of the same name. The rest of the critique here is good, though I think that "caster's Cha bonus up to +5" is better than a flat Cha of 14 for the construct.Trust me about the Concentration check. Check out the <a href="http://wizards.com/d20/files/srdskillsi.rtf" target="_blank">Skills</a> section of the SRD. Tweak is a non-damaging spell, which means the DC for the Concentration check is calculated differently from damaging spells such as Fireball.It's less niche than Pillow Talk, since its almost stereotypical that some horny wizard-wannabe learns a spell to look at women naked. The rationale for the bonus to realize someone is disguised is good, but +10 is much to high for a cantrip, IMHO.Perhaps something along the lines of the dream being so intense that for the next day, any Prowess check made to bring the target creature to Aroused has a +2 bonus?The rationale behind it's use is that, at this level of magic, its as close as a caster can come to magically interrupting the sexual endeavors of someone he doesn't like. Hence why its considered a curse. While that may seem somewhat even less useful than, say, Embarrassing Wilting, this one also works on females.The manner in which I'd envisioned the "detect and dispel" part is that this is a spell-effect that a character has on them that has not yet activated, a la a Contingency.I can see this one being bumped up to having a permanent duration though...my initial vision for this one was that having it only "go off" once would be enough to ruin the sexual encounter (assuming it was a young man that this was cast on), but having it be permanent might be better. If so, it might want to also be considered a curse."Raging Desire". I realized about halfway through writing the description that I hadn't thought this one out enough. The gist of what I wanted was that this spell causes sexual arousal in a creature when they're in a fight, and thus suffers the penalties of that (since the GUCK has that acting as a penalty to any non-sexual rolls). The part about the DSM bonus was when I realized the flip-side...it would make creatures associate battle with sex, but that would also mean they associate sex with battle. I'll try and rework this one.That would probably work...though I find it mildly odd/amusing that both of these are negative effects, but when casting both on some poor target, it leaves him better off than if just one had been cast on him.I'm relatively confident (but not 100% certain) that when listing the Adept NPC class in a spell's "Level" line, you abbreviate it to "Adp". It's always three letters, and that seems to fit what I recall.</blockquote>
