300 years ago ? That's both false, right and false. False because don't believe it was the case in all countries. For example, in France, the minimum age for wedding was IIRC 25 years for boys and 21 for girls (that's even the main reason France isn't more populated -- most other european countries grew in population faster than France during this period, and without such a law it is speculated the French could have been twice more numerous). Right before that was the case elsewhere. False because that is the case elsewhere nowaday, not only 300 years ago. In countries like Saudi Aradia or United Arabian Emirate, as well as in fact nearly any third-world country. In fact, anywhere where women (and girls) are seen a possessions rather than human beings. quote: Originally posted by Kolvar:
And again another topic: the ancient Greeks considered homosexuality between man to be OK (for a time).
False. Homosexuality (adult male with adult male, or adult female with adult female) was really NOT considered OK. Actual legislation depended on the city state, but a greek gay had better to stay frustrated or to hide carefully. What was considered normal, however, was a form of ritualized pedophilia, were young men (not adult yet) were given to the care of a mentor who was charged to instruct him several things, notably in the military field, and who had the right to sleep with his pupil if so he wanted. (It was not unseen that later a female mentor took the new adult for some time to teach him more normal practice). As for lesbianism, I don't remember if it was accepted in Lesbos or not, but that wasn't OK elsewhere.-------------------- "What's our mission ? - We must get the last of the Twelve Statuettes of Gladolfera. - A statuette ? - It is written on the Tablets of Syeloss that only an one-legged gnome from the northern forests, dancing by starlight during a full moon in the middle of the Twelves Statuettes wrapped in ham would open the Gate of Zoralback and fulfill the Prophecy. - But what is that strange prophecy ? - No idea. We're motivated by wealth. - Nevermind. A prophecy it's always so cute ! - It depends. Sometimes, it's about destroying the world..." From the Dungeon of Naheulbeuk, a pretty silly MP3 adventure.

OK guys, how is this for a feat (Tell me if I missed the tread):Sexappeal [general]: Pre Req: Ch 13 You are particularily atractive to the members of the opposite sex (and/or homosexuals of your sex). When in your presence such persons suffer -2 penalty to following skills: Appraise, Listen, Sense Motive Spot In addition you get aditional +2 points when attempting the following checks against such individuals: Bluff, Pick Pocket. For the feat to work you must engage persons attention by provocative manerisms, conversation and/or clothing. Any noticed hostility on your part, or that of your obvious allies, breaks the effect of the feat on the person affected permanently. Otherwise it can be used unlimited ammount of times. The bonus/penalty can be reduced by DM due to circumstances of the person(s) affected. [ October 06, 2001: Message edited by: bramadan ]

I think, I like the feat, although I wonder, who would take it. Especially with the restriction, that you loose the benefit, when you are past your best age (partly, because it is hard to decide, when someone is past this age, partly, because I know of no other feat, that looses its worth in such a way and partly because there are lots of older persons, who seem to attract younger people)Oddjob: yes, that was, what I meant, although I allways forget the name for it. Riot Gear, Oddjob, I am thinking of retiring, I think, that I am not able to participate on an equal basis, because I seem to have a lesser grasp of the rules and less time. I will incorporate the spells from the threat up to sunday evening into the list of spells and will keep the files public at the given address (probably incorporating psionics). Over at the 3e-Community they got a Houri-Class, too, with some new spells. I would suggest to publish what has been done, even if not ready, as one file in the right order as working draft (version 0.1), so that others are better able to participate and can see, what has been done. Oddjob: I just begun to read a book about sex in the religions of the world and stumbled over a type of shaman, that starts to wear the clothes of the other gender after beeing initiated and is treated as beeing of the other gender (sometines even marrying that way), to increase the potency of his magic. Now, if that is not a concept of a PrC, I realy don't know, what else is. Riot Gear: I do not have in mind the descriptors for the different cultures. But I would suggest to add: - a point, if the heritage goes over the male or female line. - what kind of marriage is typical (mono, poly (male or female), guest, none, etc.) - initiation into manhood/ womanhood (is there one, at what age, how long does it need (an hour, several month), special rituals). I know, that this will require lots of more work. Does anyone know, how I end the automatic mails coming each new posting?

How about Miss Marple in the old movies? And than there are the old and very eloquent gentlemen, that draw the attention of the young ladies. Than: don't forget aging effects. (Oh, and we had a half-elf in one of our group, that was about 278 years of age, when he died (quite romantically with a kiss to his true love, saving her soul (great adventure this was)). This came down to about 80 years in human terms. Do not ask, how this happened)But, give a damn on my comment, I am out of it from monday on (as I wrote, I like the feat in general).

Here is another one:Body to Die For [general]: Prereq: Sexappeal You fight naked, or nearly so. While this denies you protection of armour, other then magical bracers and jewlery, it is extremly distracting to your opponents. All appropriate (see sexappeal feat) enemies who have you in their line of sight suffer -2 on their Attack rolls and Initiative. This penalty is non cumulative and several characters using this feat will not cause aditional penalties to the opponents who can see more than one of them.

And a pair of magic related feats:Coitus of Power [sex-magic]: This is a way to transfer some power from one arcane caster to the other through a consenting sexual act. Both participants have to be willing to participate in sex, but only you need to be aware of its magical consequences. You can choose whether you will be on giving or reciving side. After the act, the giver caster becomes unable to cast the spells of his highest level for a number of days equal to his level divided by three. The reciver gains an aditional single spell-slot of that level for the same duration. If receiver is unable to casts the spells of giver's highest level she gains a slot in her highest spell level. If you attempt to use this feat on another character with a same feat he automaticaly recognises the attempt before it takes effect. He can then choose to disengage from sex. You can use this feat only once per day with any individual character. If you are using it with more then one character you can gain only one extra slot per spell level you are able to cast. This feat is a reason why powerfull spell casters tend to be wary abut engaging in sex. [ October 06, 2001: Message edited by: bramadan ]

Rape of Power [sex magic]:prereq: Coitus of Power Works as a "Coitus of Power" feat except that you have to be the reciver and that sex can be unconsentual. This feat could explain why many a wizard could "earn" a stay of execution when captured by a (particularily nasty) villan

another one:Iron Celibacy: prereq: Wis 15 You are permanently immune to any seduction based effect including those of Sucubbi, Nymphs and various sex-related magics and feats. This feat is rendered useless for a year if you engage in any consentual sexual activity. If you engage in consentual sexual activity within that year the feat is rendered useless permanently.
