Re: Sex Appeal Should Include DX
Seems like a good argument could be made for DX-based rolls. And a good opportunity to stress roleplay on the part of the player making the roll when I ask “So just how do you want to proceed with this seduction?”

Re: Sex Appeal Should Include DX
The most attractive attribute to me in a woman is intelligence, but barring that you probably need to hit Party Brawl, where you can dance your way to success using your DX, if I remember correctly.

Re: Sex Appeal Should Include DX
I concur, mostly. I would say that the roll could be based on the actions of role play and could be modified as the GM sees fit. The guy who shows off his wealth, but has two left feet and the personality of a stereotypical Orc might fair well enough with women looking for a stable, long term relationship, but will probably get few one night stands.

Re: Sex Appeal Should Include DX
Why adjusted DX? Why not just highest attribute?

Re: Sex Appeal Should Include DX
Well, David made the point that "you're less sexy in armor." And while that might merely be our own cultural bias, maybe I'd phrase it as "it's hard to be AS sexy in armor" -- unless we're talking chainmail bikinis and loincloths, of course...which aren't really "armor" in the sense we're talking about here.
And if DX is being used to "move seductively" then anything that would reduce your DX would tend to interfere with that process, wouldn't it? (Honestly, though, I don't know -- I'm no expert in any of these "sex appeal" areas...) |

I think DX should be as relevant as the others. Let the seducer have a roll vs IQ to figure out which attribute the target finds attractive, and how choosy the target is (typically fewer dice for males?). Then all rolls to seduce are against that attribute. Last edited by David Bofinger; 06-24-2018 at 12:54 AM. |

Re: Sex Appeal Should Include DX
I am mostly convinced and have made it "highest attribute. Presumably someone who is judging your DX will make allowance for the fact that you are wearing armor. Back in SCA days, I recall a form of showing-off was to perform acrobatic feats while in armor.

Re: Sex Appeal Should Include DX
I can agree with "highest attribute." After all, someone using the skill would play to their own strengths, wouldn't they?
