[QUOTE="Chrisling, post: 405411, member: 6816"] [b]Allow me to give some <I>practical</i> advice. :)[/b] Scenario #1 to Just Add Angst: Get the PC involved with an NPC, have them fall in love, make sure they have sex, and maybe even allow the woman to become pregnant and then . . . reveal that the NPC is the long-long brother/sister to the PC. Insta-angst. Scenario #2 to Just Add Angst: Have the NPC lover be something completely other than what they appear to be. She thinks he's a 5th level expert blacksmith? Wrong. He's a 15th level rogue and he's all about taxing her for a ride, and getting some freaky tail along the way. As a sub-note to #2, there's never any reason to reveal the NPC is a rogue (or whatever). Let's say the rogue is getting close to the PC to get into the palace (or whatever). When he's done with whatever he needed to get into the palace to do, he can decide to "play" with the PC, embarassing and humiliating her in a variety of ways (how vicious you want to get certainly depends on the group -- but I'd be inclined to play it to the hilt). For instance, he could say to her, "If you really loved me, you'd have sex with this guy I know." Well, if she doesn't have sex with the guy, he'd be all, "You don't really love me!"
