Modelling Equal Gender Appeal

Black Leviathan · 02-14-2022, 05:50 PM

I don't think there are any true absolutes in GURPS by design and I firmly view sexuality as a spectrum, but this is a pretty tall ask. Regardless of aim, sex appeal is something that works for people who find your sex appealing. This would be the equivalent of using Fast Talk to convince someone they are actually a different gender, or attempting to haggle with your merchant skill with no trade goods of any recognizable value..

The effort would not be simple and would be more than 15 minutes or so of effort, dependent on what you hoped to accomplish it could be days of effort. It would be beyond the unthinkable -10 to skill penalty to seduce someone cemently end-of-spectrum on the wrong side of your sex appeal, and for obvious reasons you would not get an appearance bonus for someone attracted to your gender. But "don't be silly" is still not "no".
