Re: Sexual Abilities
I toyed with a magical style that would cast body and mind control spells by having sex with the target with the spells having a longer base duration to compensate for what it took to cast them. Abandoned the idea as something that my available players would be too uncomfortable with.

Re: Sexual Abilities
A real life example for a basis of an ability is that of a friend :
After climax she experiences brief visions or has moments of insight - often nothing what so ever to do with sex . One gave her the main character's background in the book she was writing & states she would never have thought of it normally .

In cases where you are controlling the circumstances of the encounter I agree this would be a lot more useful. The disadvantage compared to an 'Aura' is that it does require the pre-coital prep opportunity, so you couldn't use it if you didn't have that control over the encounter. "Trigger" does sound pretty powerfully flexible. If I had something like "Trigger: after seven nights sleep" on Affliction: Heart Attack (Melee Attack, Contact Agent) then I could shake someone's hand and they could drop dead a week later, when I've taken a plane ride to another continent. I'd be interested in seeing someone approach a more detailed breakdown of pricing variations within that enhancement. I think that was in 3E. There's a whole section in Powers about Turning Abilities Off and On (pg 153-157). The relevant section is on pg 155, unsurprisingly, in a section labeled "Unconsciousness." Let's just say, it's a lot more complex than just that. [/quote] It's a place to start looking for sure. I can't quite remember whatever examples had me thinking about this, might've been FAQ or a thread. Quote:
You take Concentrate maneuvers to cast spells, are you referring to a mage w/ Compartmentalized Mind (bonus Concentrate no matter what your root maneuver is) taking a Ready? |

The ready maneuvers are some of the coitus. It just means that you can't . . . erm . . . be too quick about it. So 10 levels of Takes Extra Time would be 17 minutes of sex. I'll buy that for a dollar! Quote:
Personally, I don't usually use the Trigger. Quote:

Concentrate, Ready, different name, same effect for what we're talking about. You're taking a specific maneuver to do something on a later turn. The semantics are irrelevant. You have to ready a sword, and you can take a step. As was discussed earlier, doing a Ready doesn't mean you're giving up being able to do everything else. As long as your focused on sex the entire time of your Takes Extra Time you're doing it right. |

Shooting someone with a gun (using an attack power) while you are driving, conversely, will be two different actions that you're trying to do at once. You would have to take penalties or adjust your maneuver selection ("here, you take the wheel" "I let go of the wheel and shoot instead") accordingly. Sex while using a power that you can only use during sex is two actions just like the latter example. You're trying to do 2 different things that do not relate to each other. The fact that you took a limitation that you can only do one while doing the other doesn't make you better at doing 2 things at once. Last edited by naloth; 02-20-2019 at 02:56 PM. |

Think it's in Latin/Italian (I'm half Italian) orgasms are referred to as 'little deaths' & if something could bring you 'closer to heaven' , then I'd think that's one of them ! [EDIT] It's French - La petite mort - I wonder if the phrase has Latin roots originally ?
