The Book of Erotic Fantasy

I remember reading a great online supplement that broke down the rules of sex for 2nd edition campaigns. Really, if your players are able to handle it and take it to a fun place, it's just like any other angle.

Besides, I'd rather have people discuss and play with the idea then just pretend like people in the D&D universe don't copulate and all children come from storks.

You don't have to, but you can.

Though I'm a big fan of Jeet Kune Do-Rule-Jitsu (just make up the rules as-need while you roll), I've got no beef with somebody who wants to set down the rules and regulations governing pregnancy. I think the idea of defining everything in D&D is a little silly (come on, do I really need a chart breaking down every skill's DC?), but some people find it fascinating. Besides, if your players are mature enough to handle it without it de-evolving into a drama-fest (a sizable feat, I'll admit), why not go for it?

For me, D&D's about collective story-telling. Sometimes, those stories may involve sex, pregnancy, and kids. I might not need rules to explain how to roll with it, but someone else may. So--hey, so long as it's not just crude and stupid--why not?

I think I once saw a copy.... It's vaguely amusing, but I really can't imagine the situation where it would actually be used. What the publishers were thinking, I can't imagine.

Although I can imagine the child support situation with one of my old sorcerers. He was very fond of Charm Person and Suggestion...

My DM and his wife have a copy. She really likes the imagist class that casts non combat spells based on the appearance ability score. I think it's pretty dumb myself, although a few of the adventure hooks are interesting.

There are *some* useful things in it. Like, the goblin creator goddess is pretty awesome, filling an important hole in the goblin and bugbear pantheons.

That is pretty much it, in a nutshell.

The parts that do not deal with 'Sex and D&D' are well written and fairly useful. The rest is just either silly or more realism than I need in my escape from it.

Does it contain any prestige classes?

Yes there are ... let's see ..

The Disciple of Aaluran is a priestess of a sex god, with a couple abilities designed to make them more attractive, and access to the "pleasure" domain, introduced in the book.

The Divine Celibate believes in maintaining the purity of her body and gains certain resistances to poisons and charm/sex spells in order to reflect this. She also receives a Unicorn mount, access to a few divine spells and the ability to turn evil outsiders.

The Dominator enjoys having power over others and knows how to break wills and use pain to his advantage. Typically magic users, Dominators use their understanding of the arcane to make others serve them.

Fey Enticers are the most seductive of the faerie peoples, using their knowledge to make themselves even more beautiful, even more alluring than others of their race. The mere sight of the most skilled Enticer can enthrall their poor, mortal victims.

Frenzied Disciples* are mad, chaotic hedonists - bacchanalian disciples of pleasure, passion and pain for its own sake. The Disciple focuses the majority of its power though wild dances which can mesmerize, seduce or terrify a victim before she rends them apart with her clawed hands.

The Harem Protector is a eunich dedicated to protecting the harems and concubines of his masters. To this end he becomes immune to seduction and resistant to all attempts to magicall charm him away from his duties - the Harem Protector is pure dedication.

Knot Binders of Kaladis* are servants of the god of unions, contracts and sacred vows. A kind of "justice of the peace" in many nations, the Knot Binder is granted full power to observe and ratify legal unions. Unlike some ten-penny social servant, however, the Knot Binder believes in the sanctity of the unions he creates and has powers which allow him to see through lies, determine when a party has been unfaithful to his vows and even geas the participants of a union so they cannot break their word.

The Metaphysical Spellshaper feels spells, rather than just casts them. Utilizing his own vitality, the Spellshaper is able to push the prameters of spells beyond even what the metamagical feats allow, and may do it faster than most other mages.

Pierced Mystics* are masters in the art of body piercing who have learned to harness the potential of the body and their own magics to imbue their pieces with bits of magic. While these benefits primarily favor the Mystic herself, lesser skill may be granted, temporarily, to those the Mystic fits with one of her special pieces.

The Rake* is the ultimate seductress, utilizing her body and understanding of sexuality to distract and enthrall others, while using her equally skilled tongue to tease secrets out of her lovers lips. Where the rogue lives by his quick feet and wits, the Rake convinces her victims to gladly give up their fortunes and sacred trusts to her irresistable allure.

The Sacred Prostitute* embraces those who wish to show their respect to her chosen diety - demonstrating the love of their god through tenderness and sexual healing. The term Prostitute is really misleading, as she is as much therapist as sexual partner, opening the eyes of recipients to the joy and peace to be found in love.

The Voyeuristic Seer demonstrates a mastery of scrying open to few others - using his heightened sense of insight to more easily and more effectively pick out the secrets of those he spies upon.

Some of these prestige classes are pretty good, some are pretty mediocre and some are downright blah ... I have indicated the classes I particularly liked with an asterisk. I must note, though, that some - such as the Frenzied Disciple - are more interesting in concept than execution.

Making said "female form" actually be Pale Night would have been fun, too.

To be honest I would love to own all the DnD book thingies just because, well I have no reason why I would, I mean I don't even play the damn game. But hey I'd add the book of erotic fantasy to my list anyday.
For the ultimate porographic RPG experience!

Not quite sure how that actually applied to the discussion, but you can't tell me you haven't statted up historical figures before (at least in your head) ... not quite the same as statting up modern celebrities, but not such a vast step away either.
