What is the limit?
« on: August 16, 2024, 01:58:52 PM »
for low INT score In Dungeons and Dragons where if you seduce a character it is considered Bestiality?!?

Because - reasons...

Common question - judgement free zone here.  *side eyes heavily*

1 - 'Non'-intelligent or not ratable
2-3 -   'Animal' intelligence
4-5 -   Semi-intelligent
6-7 -   Low intelligence
8-9 -   Dull-witted
10-13 - Average (human) intelligence
14-15 - Highly intelligent
16-17 - Genius intelligence
18-19 - Supra-genius intelligence
20+ - Godlike intelligence

3 and below if not necessarily bestiality would qualify as some form of sexual abuse.  Honestly anything under 7 sketchy if your character is of normal intelligence.  That's the deciding factor I think.  In a D&D setting the INT gap of the seducer and seducee is where you figure out if there are problems . . . like a 20 seducing a 5 is going to be WAY more problematic than a 4 seducing a 3.

Yeah, well to be clear - I play the CLERIC and not the BARD in this campaign...

I believe an INT of above 3 is needed for language skills. When you tell a 3 INT creature to scout out the dark, creepy, tunnel, you might telepathically read duty and fear. A 5 INT creature might telepathically think, "Scared, boss!"

Did you know the UA mystic can cause a target to experience hallucinations, at will, with no saving throw and no obvious components? I used it to mindfuck other PCs to make them stop doing bad things. Our party paladin cut an NPC's fingers off (paladins, man) so I made her deity's symbol appear tarnished, she had visions of fingers in the soup she was eating, etc. She never tortured anyone again. Just saying, there are options... :)

Hadn't considered this.  I mean the bard DID roll seduction successfully. 

I'm trying to decide if for RP purposes "Lester" feels a moral obligation to castrate the party's bard.  Lawful Good.  Terrified of Owls.  Swears revenge on the Order that cast him out over a rather grey situation that was ruled blasphemy...

Party is still low level.  Need something more immediate...

Like by tapping a hoof?  Or are we just judging by sexy beast behaviour?

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
