Chapter 1: The Basic Rules
Condition Summary
This list of physical states of being is to supplement the list in Core Rulebook II that includes " Exhausted, " " Fatigued, " and " incapacitated" and may often suggest changes to states that are already listed. When a spell or action or feat refers to a result that indicates a new state, it is referring to this section, so if a spell causes Arousal, then refer to this list to see what Arousal does to a PC.
Aroused: The character is physically ready for sex. If the character is male, he is erect and ready to penetrate; if female, this means her nipples and clitorises are hardening and her vagina is lubricating.
Horny: The character is emotionally ready for sex – he or she has an itch and wants to scratch it. Horny characters suffer a -5 penalty to Will saves to resist any seduction attempts. A character who is naturally Horny remains so until they climax, are shocked, are injured, or have cold water thrown on them. Horny females get a +2 circumstantial bonus to their Charisma when dealing with sexually compatible males. Horny characters are normally (though not necessarily always) also Aroused. Characters who are both Horny and Aroused are considered distracted and cannot Take 10 on any non-sexual skill checks.
Lustful: The character has a powerful attraction to another being, and a strong, nearly overpowering, desire to have sex with them. These characters suffer a -10 penalty to Will saves to resist any seduction attempts made by the object of their lust. (This penalty does not stack with the penalties from being Horny. ) In fact, a Lustful character will often initiate seduction attempts of their own. Characters of evil and chaotic alignments may attempt to rape these objects of lust if their attentions are rebuffed.
Peaked: The character is right on the edge of orgasm. He or she is at a heightened state of arousal, and requires only one more push to come. A character cannot be forced to climax (other than through certain spells) without being brought to this point. A character who is Peaked must make a Concentration check against a DC 15 before making any non-sexually based skill checks, and all said skill checks suffer a –2 distraction penalty.
Over-stimulated: The character has gone beyond Peaked and is in sexual agony as they are a hair’s breadth away from release, but climax is teasingly withheld from them. While in this state, a character cannot perform any Intelligence based skills (except Sexual Prowess using the Creative Lover trick) or cast spells, has a -10 distraction penalty for all non-sexual skill checks, and suffers a -5 morale penalty for all save attempts. An Over-stimulated character will agree to do almost anything to be allowed to achieve climax, and must make a Will save to resist agreeing to any such offers. The save’s DC equals 20 + the offering character’s Charisma modifiers. Finally, an Over-stimulated character must make a Will save every round (DC 18) or take 1 point of temporary Wisdom damage.

Sexually Delirious: A character who reaches this stage is considered Helpless. The only action he or she is capable of is mindless fucking and sucking. He or she is also suggestible as per the Hypnotize spell and loses all Will save bonuses until he or she gets 8 hours of complete rest.
How Sex Works
The Arousal Check
This is the core sexual mechanic for d20 games. An arousal check is, at its core, a Constitution check. The DC for a character’s arousal check is based off of his or her partner’s Sexual Prowess check, and equals 10 + the Arousal Check Modifier indicated by the Sexual Prowess check result (see table S-1). Some feats provide bonuses to the Constitution check. Endurance, Great Fortitude, and Iron Will all provide their bonuses to arousal checks. Having 5 or more ranks in Concentration also provides a +2 synergy bonus to arousal checks.
The Basics
There are three basic steps to any sexual experience – getting aroused, getting close to orgasm, and having an orgasm. Each of these three steps has its own slightly different mechanics.
- Getting your partner aroused
Getting your partner aroused is often, but not always, a non-sexual activity. Sweet nothings whispered in the ear, a seductive dance, or sheer personal presence can often be enough to prepare a person for sex. This generally takes the form of an opposed check – the character rolls the appropriate skill or ability check, and the target makes a Will save. If the target fails the roll, she is considered Aroused. Some skills/abilities that might be used for arousing a partner include:
- Bluff
- Diplomacy
- Perform (Dance)
- Charisma
Arousing your partner through sexual means is usually more direct and harder to resist. If you choose to arouse your partner with pure sexual prowess, make a Sexual Prowess check. Your partner makes an arousal check. If your partner fails the check, she becomes Aroused.
Male characters have a slight advantage in getting aroused, as men are naturally inclined to being ready for sex at a moment’s notice. If he is currently not Aroused, a male character can become aroused as a free action. However, he cannot become un-aroused without making a Will save, DC 18.
However a character becomes Aroused, this condition will last 2d6 minutes unless stimulation is applied. If an Aroused character is stimulated, she will not become un-aroused until stimulation stops.
- Getting your partner close to orgasm
Once both partners are Aroused, sex can begin in earnest. Both partners make Sexual Prowess and arousal checks. If one partner fails an arousal check, he is considered Peaked.
However, once a character is Peaked, he only has a short time to have an orgasm before his body settles back down. If he does not have an orgasm in 1d4 minutes, he returns to being simply Aroused, unless his partner can keep stimulating him. Barring magic or other supernatural effects, a character must be Peaked before he can orgasm.

- Getting your partner off
A Peaked partner is on the verge of orgasm. Her partner continues to make Sexual Prowess checks, and she continues to make arousal checks. If she fails the arousal check, she has an orgasm.
After orgasm, a character goes into afterglow. Female characters are Aroused for 1d4 minutes after orgasm. Male characters, on the other hand, are no longer Aroused. Instead, they are considered Fatigued for 2d6 minutes. Any attempt to arouse a male after orgasm suffers a –10 penalty.
