: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. | :These rules are best used in a group that just wants to have a little fun with the content.

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. |

| - | :Successful optimization of an outfit for The Sexy adds up to a +5 to your beauty modifier in general... And up to +10 if it goes ludicrously too far.

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.

:Clothing damage (any time you take a hit to an unarmored area, the GM can rule whether or not it happened!) is either a -1 or +1 to your Beauty modifier, depending on the situation.

''This variant is better for campaigns that are strict on balance of mechanics.

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 | + | 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). | ||
