Message: <blockquote data-quote="Asher" data-source="post: 1164324" data-attributes="member: 10601">Additional pestering:I realize the core mechanics have long been finalized, and I should refrain from whining about the parts I don't like.  So I won't whine.  But I *will* propose a couple of variant rules (as in the 3.xe DMG, for example) that you might consider publishing.Variant Proficiencies Rule: Some types of proficiencies are available as a group.  Chief among these are Penetrative proficiencies, of which many are mundane and likely to be familiar to most sexually active characters.  This variant rule allows a character to acquire all standard proficiencies of a given type using a single rank in Prowess.  Other proficiencies of that type must be purchased individually.The definition of "standard" is left to the DM's discretion, as the concept will differ among various cultures (and races, perhaps).  In a generic setting, we suggest making the following techniques standard for their Proficiency types:Foreplay: kissing, strokingPenetrative: frontal, rear, ridingToys: by basic shape/size (all dildoes/wands/cucumbers in one group, for example)Bondage: all comfortable positionsDirty Talk: all normal non-poetic talk (whether dirty or sweet)Variant Climax Rule: Do not use the Ecstatic condition for normal (not magically assisted) climaxes.  Instead, raise the DC to remain Climaxed for each round in the extended Climax round as follows: +2 DC for females, +5 DC for males.  (Thus for females, round 1 of Climax is DC 20, round 2 is DC 22, round 3 is DC 24, etc.  For males, round 1 of Climax is DC 16, round 2 is DC 21, round 3 is DC 26, etc.)Award 1 point of Gratification for each round spent Climaxed.  When a character is Fatigued or Exhausted, adjudicate any discrete orgasm consisting of two or more Climaxed rounds as an Ecstatic climax under the standard rules.Variant Prowess Skill Rule: On any given round, a character may apply his or her ranks in Prowess in any of the following ways:1. As a bonus to the character's Prowess check against a partner.2. As a bonus to the character's Fort save to resist arousal. (This essentially gives characters the Improved Endurance feat for free.)3. As a reduction of the character's own Arousal DC.  (This represents a sexually active character's familiarity with his or her own body and the ability to become aroused more easily if they wish.)4. As a combination of any of the above.  Note that only base ranks in Prowess may be applied to options 2 and 3; bonuses from Charisma or other sources can only be applied to option 1.Given a fairly low-to-medium-sex setting in which characters purchase few ranks in Prowess (5 or less), this variant rule provides a little more bang for the buck.</blockquote>
