D20r Sexy:Status Conditions and Influencing Them

Check [[d20r Sexy:Skills]] for more on Prowess.

'''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.

Prowess checks are rolled at the top of each minute, and resolved at the end of it. At the same time as the prowess check is rolled, you may make one action such as changing position or casting a spell. The most important thing you need to do, however, is declare which proficiency you're using, and on whom, as well as how much of the rank bonus you're using.

The effects of the Prowess check are then resolved by checking which modifiers apply from the Modifiers List, then checking against the Arousal and Horniness charts (by gender). Failing to attain any listed chart means that the state is not maintained and can potentially expire.

A character can make as many Prowess checks as they have applicable appendages (and can make them on anyone in reach); however, each check beyond the first raises the DC of ''all'' of the checks by four, and you must split your Prowess between all ranks. Making multiple checks on the same person adds the results of all checks together for the total Prowess on that person.  

Any modifier that applies here modifies all DCs on both the Arousal and Horniness charts, unless specified otherwise. (Thus, if the DC goes up, it's bad.) Notice that the chart only modifies the DC, never the Prowess ranks itself.

* Each Prowess check beyond the first being made this minute: DC +4

=== Resisting Prowess Checks ===

Characters are capable of resisting the effects of Prowess Checks using Fortitude or Will saves. If the character is Unwilling, they automatically attempt all these checks; if the character is Uninterested, they make a separate Will save ''before'' making these checks; success means these checks auto-succeed. This also represents a character's attempts to hold back their state so that they can bring their partner greater joy by lasting longer.

These save DCs are ''only'' used when representing a character resisting Prowess checks, ''not spells or the like'' - they have their own DCs.

Also note that if both characters are in Climax or Ecstasy, they're probably going to fail their checks and not be able to continue Prowess checks on each other. That's just the way it goes.

* If the Tab is two sizes smaller than the Slot, Prowess checks (both ways) incur a -8 penalty (-4 in Quickchecking).

* If the Tab is one and a half sizes smaller than the Slot, Prowess checks (both ways) incur a -6 penalty (-3 in Quickchecking).

* If the Tab is one size smaller than the Slot, Prowess checks (both ways) incur a -4 penalty (-2 in Quickchecking).

* If the Tab is half a size smaller than the Slot, Prowess checks (both ways) incur a -2 penalty (-1 in Quickchecking).

* If the Tab is half a size larger than the Slot, Prowess checks get a +2 bonus, but the recipient takes 1 point of nonlethal damage each minute unless they make a Fortitude save (DC 10).

* If the Tab is one size larger than the Slot, Prowess checks get a +4 bonus, but the recipient takes 1d6 points of nonlethal damage every minute unless they make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + their Hit Dice). ''No Quickchecking at this point, because KO'ing the subject in the middle of sex is VERY likely.''

* If the Tab is one-and-a-half sizes larger than the Slot, ''the Tab really should not be going into the slot.'' Prowess checks get a +6 bonus, but the recipient takes 1d6 points of ''lethal'' damage each minute (Fort save DC 15+recipient's HD reduces to nonlethal). (If you thought KO'ing someone during sex was considered bad form, picture how bad ''killing'' them will be...)

* If the Tab is two sizes larger than the Slot, ''why the hell haven't you read the last note yet?!?!'' Prowess checks get a +8 bonus, but the recipient takes 3d6 points of ''lethal'' damage each minute (Fort save DC 20+recipient's HD reduces to 1d6 lethal damage).

To this end, the Quickcheck rules are available - consisting of a single Prowess check for the user, and a single Prowess check for their partner. Apply every single modifier that would apply to the session, naturally. If the GM wants to mix things up, just roll from the Mixing Things Up table.
