DESCRIPTION: The Houri does it for sleazy pleasure, the
Seducer/Seductress mage does it for professional pleasure, but the
rogue Seductress does it for the wealth.
The Seductress is a female rogue who uses
her special abilities of
seduction to get what she wants. Unlike the mage Seductress who is
in
it more for lust, the rogue Seductress is more materialistic using
lust
to get things.
In addition to the normal requirements for
a rogue, the Seductress
must have a minimum Dexterity of 12, a minimum Wisdom of 13, and a
minimum Charisma of 15. The prime requisites are dexterity and
charisma.
A Seductress can be any chaotic alignment
or neutral evil.
ROLE: Seductresses are the women that men gawk over. They are
manipulators in cunning and subtle ways typically getting what they
want which is usually money. And if they have some wonderful sexually
experiences, they better.
Many thieves guilds have at least one Seductress
high up in the
organization. Most Seductresses latch onto the guild leader and use
their powers to control the leader as a puppet and thus rule the guild
from behind the scenes.
Skill Progression: The Seductress has the thieves skills of Pick
Pockets, Move Silently, Hide in Shadows, and Detect Noise. The
Seductress doesn't have the thieving skills of Open Locks, Find/Remove
Traps, Climb Walls, and Read Languages.
WEAPON SKILL: RECOMMENDED: Dagger, or some other small weapon easily
hidden and carried about.
NONWEAPON SKILL: BONUS: Etiquette, Dancing, Disguise, any one sexual
NWP. RECOMMENDED: Languages (Modern), Singing, Gaming.
EQUIPMENT: The Seductress should spend a fair amount of money on good
clothing, perfume, and other items of beautification. The Seductress
doesn't wear armor as it hides her beautiful body unless shes on a
thieving excursion and then leather armor is acceptable.
SPECIAL BENEFITS: The Seductress uses a special power of seduction
described in the "Seduction For The Professional" section with the
following formula rather than the one given:
Seductress level + (her Charisma / 2)
---------------------------------------------
Victim's level + modifiers + Wisdom bonus
vs. charm spells
SPECIAL HINDRANCES: The Seductress must maintain her wardrobe, and is
constantly replacing articles which have been muddied or torn. They
are
such perfectionists in their craft that they will dispose of anything
that will harm their seductive craft unless it can be perfectly mended.
They will also pay 10%-100% more than the normal cost whenever making
a
purchase due to their exacting standards.
Note also that the Seductress also has a great
love for jewelry.
After all a woman is only as beautiful as her accessories. So the
Seductress is required to spend a considerable amount of money on such
things.
The rogue Seductress is typically looked down
upon by Houris and
mage Seducers. They usually go out of their way to make life difficult
for Seductresses when possible.
WEALTH OPTIONS: The Seductress begins with 5d4x10 gold pieces of
starting money to simulate his higher standing. However, he must spend
50% of it on clothing.
RACES: A Seductress can theoretically be any race that can be rogues,
although most GMs would probably prefer to limit it to humans, elves,
and half-elves.
SEDUCTRESS' GUILDS: These guilds are mostly in large cities and often
found in matriarch cities. The guilds provide training for seductresses
and will provide most often cheap room and board. The guilds are often
connected to the government officials. This way they can provide
service without any need for secrecy.
The guild will give information on other guild
locations and
places where males are the minority of a population. That way a working
woman can be financed easily. The guilds are often against any male
ruled kingdoms and will pay for services of destabilize these
governments. The dues are paid by training and using the facilities
of
the guild. Such as baths, cosmetics, spells, etc..
The guilds are run by older seductresses.
They often have
heagmasters and a small council. They set up rules and dress codes
for
the area Some guilds provide the community with escort services.
