Guide to Unlawful Carnal Knowledge

[Zelda Themelin]

Hi kolvar,

I thought janni to be a good race, for what our guide says about them, and what monster manual does, like this here from MM:

"formed out of all four elements and must therefore spend most of theri time on the Material Plane".

Since lust and pleasure and fertility aspect of it exist both as material, energy and spiritual, I'd see this plane take some aspects of prime material (normal world) mixed with overly vibrant and vital aspect of nature, and pure sparkling energy of primal elementals.

Actually, making it Transitive Plane would work great too. After all, force that inhabits it is bound to make connections to as many places and creatures it can. This is matter of opinion, but hey, they call Plane of Mirrors and World Serpent Inn Transitive Plane as well.

How about escstatic/orgasmic travel spells? Shifting to another dimension with power of satisfaction from lust?

(La Blue Girl, anyone?)

It would be likely to have strong connections to outer planes, inner planes, and places like plane of dreams. Maybe even Plane of Faerie or *creeps* Far Realms. Dreams and lust go hand to hand after all.

I don't think there would be singular ruler. That doesn't fit to image of this emotion/power. Maybe different aspects of Lust Elemental Lords. We could call them Incarnas of Lust, and give them different aspects from kind to evil. But never at war with each other, though at odds all the time when wanting something from same creature.

I think lust elementals and some possessing spirit/energy creatures would well for native creatures. Nature of this plane would account for lot's of visitors 'taken over' by natives (and made thus natives). I think not all of those 'spirits'/elemental has to have actual mind of their own. They could just grab creatures and give them sort of template, if they fail to resist.

Some less powerful ones might need some other creature to seduce candinate first, and join this, when he/she is 'most attuned' (one can guess how) to nature of this plane.

City would we IMO very fitting. Colorful place one can guess.

Just ideas.

 

[kolvar]

transitive plane would fit fine, because I had a plane in mind, that would allow to fly on will/ have gravity depending on thought (better for Lust)

Do you want to do it Zelda?

 

[Zelda Themelin]

I though similarily.

Nope, I don't really have time for now, though subject interests me. I try to give ideas however, and maybe work on some races.

Maybe I come up with something more 'ready', like few 'races', but can't promise that.

I can explain my ideas more througly if you are lacking your own, but otherwise I am happy to just give inspiration.


What happened to everybody else? They got bored?

 

[Anabstercorian]

This is actually Riot Gear, so ya know

The Elemental Plane of Eros:
It is where wet dreams come to life.
It is where angels go on their honeymoons.
It is where pleasure is made manifest.
The plane Eros is not the origin of all things sexual, passionate, and lustful, but it is where most of them end up eventually. The plane appears, for the most part, as a vast translucent cloud of pastel smoke, containing small 'sub planes' that could hold almost anything. Many quasi-deities make their homes here, and all who know how to reach this place enjoy spending time here.
The plane Eros is primarily a transitive plane - It can only be accessed through a spell requiring an intense sexual ritual or through Gates cast using an intense sexual ritual. HOWEVER, using another spell, you can shunt yourself from Eros in to any spot in the multiverse where an erotic act of any kind is occuring. This tends to ruin the mood for the poor people you barge in on, but sacrifices must be made for proper travel arrangements through the multiverse.

There are many locations worth visiting in Eros, either for entertainment or because there are things there worth killing and looting.

Lady Larlo's House: Home of the patron quasi-deity of harlots, hookers, gigolos, and other lovers for hire, Lady Larlo. Anyone is welcome here, for a price, be they mortal or angel or fiend. Throughout most of the universe, this House is considered neutral ground - but the area around it is not. If you're going to enter this House, you'll have to get past the near-constant brawl between juxtaposed outsiders on the front porch. It's said to be worth a thousand deaths to enter this place.
Pillow talk holds many secrets, and if you want dirt on an Outsider of any status, one of the performers here will likely talk - Be warned, though, for Larlo dissapproves of gossip, and she deals with spies harshly.

The Garden of Eden: Home of certain major deities of fertility and love, this jungle planet is filled with benevolent animals, beautiful plant life, and very friendly natives. The people here can be of any race but are always neutral in alignment, outgoing, and welcoming to strangers. They aren't unusually sexual - This is a place of fertility and life more than lust and debauchery. Of course, they like strangers. One advantage to this place is that sexually transmitted diseases cannot be transferred in the Garden of Eden.

The Scriptorium of the Bard: This Eladrin outpost is the finest, largest, and most complete library of erotica in the universe. Guarded by Lillends, it stores the finest, the most beautiful, and the most perfect.

The Vault of Perversion: The devils keep an outpost here that is the dark shadow of the Scriptorium of the Bard. It's much larger, and contains a copy of every piece of pornography ever painted, etched, spoken, written, or formed of illusion. It has everything the Scriptorium has, but also infinite pieces of worthless, poorly drawn art, disturbing, unnatural perversion, or vile, disgusting malefaction. It's a vast trove of goods, but few are willing to search for their desires in this hell hole.
As for the question, "Why?" Their answer is simply, "Because it can be done."

The Savage Plains: This vast savannah is the incarnation of masculinity, forcing all who exist there to strive to fight harder, run faster, think quicker, and be stronger than ever before, every day, or fall behind. The environment is fiercely dangerous and dampens magic greatly, but those who survive the trials get the Nymphs every evening... On the downside, this sheer masculinity of this savage landscape imposes itself on any woman unlucky enough to be stranded here, eventually dooming them to eternity as one of the Nymphs.

The Incarna

The incarna are the elemental lords of Eros, the purest incarnations of eroticisms various manifestations. They are massive and godlike in their power, having fed off of aeons of sexuality throughout the multiverse.
Their appearance is varying, and they usually appear completely different to different people.

Lust: Lust is the oldest, most primal of the Incarna. It is never without a victim, and will only discard one of its victims upon sighting a new one. Very few have survived its attention - It is amoral and depraved. It has been likened to a wildfire, eternally consuming.
It's appearance is different to all who look at it. Generally, it appears as a devastatingly beautiful, immensely strong, and imposing member of the viewers species, always naked, always aroused.

Love: Love is not as strong as Lust, but has more influence in the world at large, being more charismatic and more intelligent. It seeks new lovers to bring joy and happiness to, but is viciously dangerous to those who spern its attention. It has been likened to the sea - Potentially nuturing and potentially lethal.
It's appearance is different to all who look at it. Generally, it appears as a sweet and loving member of the viewers species, not necessarily attractive, but always something you want to be near.

Desire: Desire simply seeks beautiful and lovely creatures to add to its collection of lovers. It is passionate and intense, always searching for someone new and exhilirating, and never discards something it deems entertaining. It has been likened to the wind, fickle and always moving.
Desire always appears as whatever would appear most attractive to the viewer. Given that it picks from all possible forms of any kind anywhere, most are desperate to get it on with Desire.

Perversion: Perversion is a dark thing, always looking for a new seasoning for the act of coupling, a new way, a new quirk to add. Anything different is good as far as it's concerned, no matter how horrible, bleak, unnatural, confusing, or just plain weird it seems to mortals. It has been likened to the earth, containing rare and beautiful gems and metals in a vast mass of dirt.
Perversion has no fixed form, and always appears as an embodiment of the deepest, most hidden kink the viewer has, raised to the highest power.

New Spells

Eros Shift
Alteration (Erotic)
Level: Sor/Wiz 5
Components: V, S (Lots of S), M
Casting Time: Full Round Action
Range: Personal and Touch
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

You instantly transport yourself and whoever you touch to the plane Eros. This is a permanent shift, and offers no special protection from either the effects of the plane or its denizens. You cannot shift to any specific point in Eros, but always land in the fog.
In order to cast this spell, you must have reached sexual climax at least once in the last minute, and one other time before that in the last ten minutes.
Alternatively, if this spell is cast while on the plane of Eros, you can immediately teleport to any plane in the Multiverse you have either previously been to (In which case there is no chance for error at all) or you have read or heard about (in which case there is a percentage chance of error as though you were casting Teleport.) However, you have no control over exactly what spot on said plane you land on, and will always teleport to a spot where sexual activity is occuring.

Glad to see you back Riot.

A bit different than my idea, Riot, but cool anyhow.

I thought of staying away from traditional sex god/dess-thing and do something different, more elemental.

Reason for this is, I think such powers, even demi/quasi-ones, tend to live on outer planes, and have their home areas manifest qualities they represent.

Hehe, but sky is the limit, let he/she who has the most ideas and actually writes them down create.

 

[Averil Wehstrom]

I'm still here too. I'm slowly plugging along in editing the Prestige Classes we've got, but I'm working some 10 more hours a week that I was before, so all my gaming is suffering.

I do like what we've got for the plane (especially the devil's outpost )

 

[Anabstercorian]

Bump

New edit - I think I'll put all of my work on Eros on to that post, just so I can keep my work on a safe place.

 

[kolvar]

Great to see something new from you, Riot. Good stuff.
How do you like to be addressed from now on, though?

 

[Zelda Themelin]

Yep, I like it Riot.

Uh, that A.... something name is too hard to write.
(don't worry, I can faintfully copy-paste)

Anybody elso got some more ideas on their sleaves?

 

[kolvar]

suggestions for the plane:

- No Gravity: Those traveling through time move by hornyness and arousal. an orgasm allows any person to teleport to any place in the plane it knows or someone it had sex with is in
- Normal Time
- Infinite Size
- Sexual Morphic Trait: Sex Magic and special sexual rituals allow to alter the basic material of the plane.
- No Elemental or Energy Traits
- Mildly Chaotic-Aligned- Enhanced Sex-Magic: All spells enhancing lust and sex are automatically enhanced and empowered.
