Well, look at the sections about Consequences, and the section on Things The GM Can Use Against Anyone Who Decides To Use This Too Seriously. Remember that most things that give the players options give the GM options, too. |

Players who seriously wish to role-play this should consult ''heavily'' with their DMs, and read ALL the Sacred Rules Of The Sexy. |

| + | :Fortunately, most GMs are just as perverted (or non-perverted) as their players, so if you're seriously pondering using any of this, your GM is probably not above letting it happen! (Just watch out, because, like all content, you need to let the GM see this before use, and letting him see it might inspire him to ''use'' it...) | ||
| + | :The GM has to decide if the Sexy Content is okay in your campaign, or if snippets from this book are all that is being used, or if the whole damn thing is to be refused. | ||

| - | The | + | ''Do not use this to piss off your fellow player.'' |
| + | |||
| + | :This should go without saying, but... | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Third Sacred Rule Of The Sexy is as follows: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ''Don't forget the relative importance of sexuality in the campaign.'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | :Read: For most player-characters, sexuality will ''not'' be that important - it's fun, and sometimes useful, but your characters are adventurers first and foremost; every sexual advantage in the book won't help in most combat situations, dungeoneering, or the like. Use these rules to spice up your character, maybe seek a diplomatic advantage, and find some unusual encounters, sure, just don't expect the options to be exceptionally useful. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Final Sacred Rule Of The Sexy is as follows: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ''If you are even CONSIDERING using sexuality-related issues for heavy drama, especially if the word "rape" has come up in conversations about this... You really DON'T want these rules.'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | :Remember what we said above about these rules not being very serious? We meant it. These rules aren't meant to allow for that kind of detail. There are other mechanics for This And That that may better suit your needs... If (and this is a ''ludicrously massive'' "if") you're even in a campaign that suits it. (HINT: If it's a d20r campaign, it probably doesn't.) | ||
| + | :These rules are best used in a group that just wants to have a little fun with the content. A campaign ideally suited to this is probably one that is also okay with things like [[d20r:Silly_Skill_Uses | explicitly humorous content]]. Anime-styled campaigns may also find some use for these, due to their representations of the details being just about as realistic. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Certain clothes are automatically Sexy-optimized, and don't need or benefit (even in fluff!) from further optimization beyond tune-tailoring to the character's specific sizes (DC is based on a GM estimate of how far off the previous wearer's sizes - or those of an all-rolls-average human or item-relevant species if the items are new and not custom-made - are from the player, but generally quite low - DC 15 on the higher end of things). | ||
| + | |||
| + | == The Handy Curtain == | ||
| + | |||
| + | Given the number of players who like having sexy content in a campaign, surprisingly few want to deal with actual depictions of sex itself. In general, if things are getting sufficiently steamy, the GM, or a vote of players, can vote to drop the shades on a scene. The section, "Status Conditions and Influencing Them", provides a way to quickly decide the results without role-playing the entire scene out. | ||

| + | ''This rule is optional and not in the slightest necessary for most Sexy Content.'' | ||
Your character's beauty is a special modifier that can be applied in some (but not all!) situations. In general, it ''doesn't'' applies in combat, ''half'' applies to out-of-combat Charisma-related checks, and ''fully'' applies any time you're using a rule from this section that doesn't specify otherwise. | Your character's beauty is a special modifier that can be applied in some (but not all!) situations.

And up to +10 if it goes ludicrously too far. (HINT: If you're using Naga the White Serpent from ''The Slayers'' as a basis of comparison, it's too far.) Outfits with the "sexy-optimized" property are +3 until size-tuned; then a +5. |
| - | Being freshly cleaned (within the last day) is a +2 bonus; taking an hour to take more fine-tuned care of yourself (hair/nails/the like) is an additional +3. (Makeup or lack thereof is considered part of fine-tuned care.) This bonus degrades with combat, but can be restored with three minutes of quick patchwork. | + | :Being freshly cleaned (within the last day) is a +2 bonus; taking an hour to take more fine-tuned care of yourself (hair/nails/the like) is an additional +3.

Most characters will be strongly motivated to fix their clothing, and quickly, whether or not this is the case. |
| - | Characters successfully crossdressing beyond the ability of a typical person to tell ''without shapeshifting or illusion magics'' gets a +4 to their modifier for humor reasons. | + | :Characters successfully crossdressing beyond the ability of a typical person to tell ''without shapeshifting or illusion magics'' gets a +4 to their modifier for humor reasons. |

| + | == Difficult Beauty Modifier == | ||
| + | |||
| + | ''This variant is better for campaigns that are strict on balance of mechanics. This variant makes maintaining positive beauty difficult and something that a character has to actively maintain - which may or may not be more fun depending on your players. Like the normal Beauty Modifier, it's optional and not necessary for most content.'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | All characters, when they in their general clothing/armor, are reasonably clean, and are otherwise generally 'fresh', have a beauty modifier of 2 (let's face it, adventuring parties in these types of games tend to be above average in looks!). If the character is only average-looking, their base is dropped to zero, but they gain a +1 bonus to two skills (as if they had +1 synergy in that skill). If the character is relatively ugly, their base goes down to -2, but they gain a feat AND the +1 bonuses. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Outfits optimized for The Sexy ''above and beyond the norm'' cost extra under these rules, except for clothing of a grade at least on par with the noble's garb (when worn with full jewelry), which automatically qualify. (If you have read the Noble NPC class, I'm sure you can agree that they deserve the long end of the stick ''somewhere''...) Such optimizations provide a +1 bonus for an additional cost (before bonuses for magic and masterworking are applied). Another +1 is applied if the outfit is fitted to the character (which may require a Craft (tailoring or Weaving) or Craft (blacksmithing) check if the outfit wasn't custom-tailored). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Characters who are dirtied by combat, or by a full day without cleaning, lose one point of Beauty Modifier until they reach a minimum of -4. Basic cleaning takes ten minutes and requires access to water - however, it will only stave off losses for days without cleaning. More serious bathing takes a half hour and an environment suited to it (waterfalls good, springs good, actual bathtubs great, desert using only a waterskin not so good). | ||
