'''Recovering''': The character is recovering from sex, and will not easily be aroused. They are considered Fatigued for 1d6*3 minutes, except that the DC of attempts to increase their arousal are increased by 5. Successful bringing of them to Aroused automatically clears this state. In less serious play, smoking one cigarette will clear this status as well - however, a cruel GM may elect to have the character roll a Sleight of Hand against a low DC - with failure meaning they light something on fire. | '''Recovering''': The character is recovering from sex, and will not easily be aroused.

| + | '''Neutral''': The lack of any normal sexual state. Most people spend a minimum of 95% of their day in this state. | ||
'''Aroused''': The character is aroused and ready for love - males are erect at this point, and females lubricated. Prowess checks against someone who isn't aroused or greater incur a -5 penalty. Aroused characters suffer a -2 on non-sexual attack rolls, skill checks, or saves for five minutes, successful spellcasting requires a Concentration check (DC 10 + Level), and they must make a Will save against DC 5 each round or become Horny. Arousal can be observed with an Awareness check (DC 15 for men, 20 for women). Combat drops arousal fast - the condition lasts only one minute (ten rounds), and the character may make a Fortitude save each turn (DC 15) for that turn to count as three for that timer. | '''Aroused''': The character is aroused and ready for love - males are erect at this point, and females lubricated.

'''Peaked''': Peaked characters have flushed skin, rapid heartbeat, and are getting ready for climax. The penalties for being aroused go up to -4, spellcasting requires a DC 20 + Spell Level Concentration check, and if not horny, must make a Will save against DC 10 each round or become such. The DCs of Awareness checks to recognize this condition drop to 5 for men, 10 for women. | '''Peaked''': Peaked characters have flushed skin, rapid heartbeat, and are getting ready for climax.

| - | '''Climax''': You're either having an orgasm, or ''right'' on the cusp of one. They are considered Helpless for the condition's lasting time (typically one round) unless they make a DC 20 Fortitude check (auto-success on a Natural 20). If they succeed, they are considered Slowed and suffer a -8 penalty to all non-sexual actions. Spellcasting requires a Concentration check of DC 30 + Spell Level. The condition is obvious to most onlookers (DC 0, so a person with a negative Awareness and a bad roll might miss it somehow). | + | '''Climax''': You're either having an orgasm, or ''right'' on the cusp of one.

The character is temporarily lost to the world, Helpless unless they make a DC 30 Fortitude check. | + | '''Ecstasy''': A character lost in the utter ''best'' of orgasms. The character is temporarily lost to the world, Helpless for the duration of the status (typically one round) unless they make a DC 30 Fortitude check. Success renders them slowed, and their actions suffer a -12 penalty unless sexual in nature. Spellcasting requires a Concentration check of DC 40 + Spell Level. This condition is obvious to ''absolutely everyone''. The character normally will descend to Recovery once this subsides. |

'''Wanting''': Your character really wants some tonight. DCs for attempts to induce arousal in you drop by an amount equal to the attempting person's Beauty Modifier (or 3 if not using the Beauty Modifier) - unless you declare yourself Uninterested in someone (replacing the DC decrease with the normal DC increases). | '''Wanting''': Your character really wants some tonight.

| + | === Mental Sexual States === | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Satisfied''': The character is, one way or another, sexually satisfied. They get a +5 bonus to any saves against influences that would induce physical or mental arousal (or the DCs of attempts to induce the state go up by 5 if a save isn't provided for). A character who has reached Climax or Ecstasy within the past week may declare this state as a free action. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Neutral''': The lack of any particular mental sexual state. Most people spend 95% of their day in this state minimum; even "horndogs" rarely dip below 90%. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Horny''': The character is mentally desirous of sex, and indecent thoughts cloud their mind. Anyone in Neutral state can declare this state as a free action, barring unusual circumstances (the GM may set a Will save for a character's attempts to become Horny in circumstances that are ill-suited to it, such as the presence of highly undesirable individuals around them, or in the sole presence of their unpreferred gender). | ||
| + | :Characters in this state are motivated to approach anyone they view as attractive with advances, and will automatically do so unless they make a Will save against DC 10 each minute. They suffer a -2 penalty to all non-sexual attack rolls, skill checks, and saves as long as the status lasts (typically five minutes), and suffers a -4 penalty to all saves against arousal effects, seduction, and spells with the [Arousal] descriptor. Spellcasting requires a successful Concentration check of DC 10 + Spell Level. Sense Motive checks at DC 20 can detect this state in others. | ||
| + | :This condition fades more quickly in inappropriate conditions such as combat; a character who willingly entered this state can return to Neutral as a move action (representing a quick second to get their thoughts back in order), while characters who had this state induced in them by any means recover in one minute, with their Will saves, if made against a DC of 20, counting as three rounds for the time limit of the state. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Lustful''': The character is beyond mere desire, actively craving sex, their libidos taking much higher control over their higher brain functions. Such powerful desire rarely has a mundane basis, requiring substances or magic most of the time. | ||
| + | :The character must make a DC 20 Will save each minute, or move towards any possible partners, in accordance with their sexual alignment. Rebuffing may result in Evil characters attempting to force themselves on others (''if the tone is such that this is okay by both player and GM''), or the character simply seeking to masturbate until the condition wears off. Successful saves let them act normally, except... | ||
| + | :The character suffers a -4 penalty to all non-sexual attack rolls, skill checks, and saves, and a -8 to saves against arousal effects, seduction, and spells with the [Arousal] descriptor. Spellcasting requires a Concentration check against DC 20 + Spell Level. Lustfulness usually lasts for ten minutes, regardless of conditions, before subsiding to five minutes of Horniness. | ||
| + | :A DC 10 Sense Motive check detects this state in others. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Delirious''' The victim of this status is completely consumed by their desire, devoid of the will to do anything but seek the basest of pleasure. While it is theoretically attainable by nearly perfect sexual techniques in combination with potent substances, usually it is only the result of powerful magics. | ||
| + | :Unless the character makes a DC 30 Will save, they are considered Helpless and can only act to seek out the nearest source of sexual relief and indulge themselves. They lack the awareness to make seduction attempts, simply throwing themselves at the most satisfying nearby being or even object - sexual alignment plays a role, but they'll essentially consent to anything and anyone otherwise. They cannot make any saves against any kinds of effects, and are suggestible as if hypnotized. | ||
| + | :If the check is successful, they may act, but at a -8 penalty to all non-sexual attack rolls, skill checks, and saves, and a -16 to saves against arousal effects, seduction, and spells with the [Arousal] descriptor. Spellcasting is possible with a Concentration check against DC 30 + Spell Level. | ||
| + | :Most characters will simply pass out as this state progresses, the spell not even having time to time out. Their delirium is obvious to even the most casual look. | ||
