Pathfinder writers have strange sexual fetishes.

Post by Psychic Robot »

Anthropomorphic Animal
School transmutation (polymorph); Level druid 3, sorcerer/
wizard 3, witch 3
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (a humanoid thumb bone)
Range touch
Target animal touched
Duration 1 hour/level
Saving Throw Fortitude negates; Spell Resistance yes

You transform the touched animal into a bipedal hybrid
of its original form with a humanoid form, similar to how
a lycanthrope’s hybrid form is a mix of a humanoid and
animal form. The animal’s size, type, and ability scores do
not change. It loses its natural attacks except for bite (if it
had one as an animal), all types of movement other than
its land speed, and special attacks that rely on its natural
attacks. One pair of its limbs is able to manipulate objects
and weapons as well as human hands do; limbless animals
like snakes temporarily grow a pair of arms. The creature’s
Intelligence increases to 3, and it gains the ability to speak
one language you know. It is not considered proficient in any
manufactured weapons. It can attack with unarmed strikes,
dealing unarmed strike damage for a creature of its size
(unless it has a bite attack, which is a natural attack).

Anthropomorphic animal can be made permanent with a
permanency spell cast by a caster of 11th level or higher at a cost
of 7,500 gp.
Leashed Shackles
School evocation [force]; Level inquisitor 4, sorcerer/wizard 6
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range medium (100 ft. +10 ft./level)
Target one creature
Duration 1 minute/level
Saving Throw Reflex negates; Spell Resistance yes

You create shackles of force that attach to the target’s
limbs. You designate an object or location within 30 feet
of the target for the shackles to anchor themselves to;
this must be the ground, a wall, or a sturdy structure
for the anchoring to occur. The target is entangled,
and cannot move more than 30 feet from the anchor
point of the spell. The shackle itself cannot be attacked
(though it can be dispelled), but if the object or area it
is attached to is broken, the target is free to move away
(though it is still entangled).
Reckless Infatuation
School enchantment (compulsion) [emotion, mind-affecting];
Level bard 2, sorcerer/wizard 3, witch 3
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one creature
Duration 1 day/level
Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes

You fill your target with feelings of intense infatuation for a
specific individual known to the target. At the time of the casting,
you designate a single creature as the focus of the target’s desire.
Thereafter, the target does all it can to remain within 30 feet of
the object of its desire. If the target moves outside this range, it
gains the staggered condition until it is again near the focus of
its desire. If remaining within 30 feet of the focus of its affection
would place the target in obvious physical danger, the target can
attempt a second save to break the spell’s effect.
Reckless infatuation counters unadulterated loathing.
Waves of Ecstasy
School enchantment (compulsion) [emotion, mind-affecting];
Level bard 6, cleric 7, sorcerer/wizard 7, witch 7
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range 30 ft.
Area cone-shaped burst
Duration 1 round/level; see text
Saving Throw Will partial (see text); Spell Resistance yes

You emanate waves of intense pleasure that cause all targets
within range to falter. Affected creatures are stunned for 1
round and are staggered for the remainder of the spell. A
creature that makes its save is staggered for the first round
and can act normally thereafter.
Youthful Appearance
School transmutation (polymorph); Level alchemist 1, bard 1,
sorcerer/wizard 1, witch 1
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range touch
Target creature touched
Duration 1 hour/level

You make your target look like a younger version of itself. You
select how much younger it looks (for example, “10 years” or
“as a young adult”). You cannot otherwise change details of the
target’s appearance other than those directly associated with
aging (for example, gray hair returns to its original color). The
target cannot appear so much younger that it changes size.
This spell does not affect any age-based modifications to ability
scores or other age-related effects.
Unnatural Lust
School enchantment (compulsion) [emotion, mind-affecting];
Level bard 1, sorcerer/wizard 2, witch 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one creature
Duration 1 round
Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes

Your target is filled with lust and desire for a single creature
or object as designated by you at the time of casting. That
creature or object must be within the spell’s range and
perceivable by the target of the spell. The target is filled
with the compulsion to rush to the subject of its lust and
passionately kiss or caress that subject on its next turn,
taking no other actions. If the target would not normally have
lustful feelings toward the designated creature or object, it
receives a +4 bonus on its saving throw.

Are you new? Reading any of the adventure paths will tell you that.

I mean, there is literally one adventure where you are expected to use demon's dildos as material components.

PR, you're off your rocker on this one.

Neither Furries nor Bondage* nor Stalking count as strange anymore. And while Waves of Pleasure is a disturbing and odd flavor to give an AoE save or stun spell, Hedonism is broad enough to be a philosophy, not a fetish. Likewise, youthfulness is such a large part of beauty standards that it's probably not even obscure enough to count as a fetish.

I was really hoping you had evidence that they were Mossies or Looners, or Formicophiliacs or something that is actually strange.

*okay, full encasement is still pretty out there, but existing spells already cover that.

"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

The first and last ones aren't a fetish, also the last one is just plain worthless text since it doesn't do anything.

Reckless Infatuation is just a stupid way of making a charm spell.

Waves of Ecstasy is hilariously worthless.

Leashed Shackles can be thought as one but it most likely was written to hold a target and not kill it.

So really it mostly you making the cigar into a penis.

And yet none of this compares to the entirety of Book of Exalted Deeds.

Or half of the books in Exalted for that matter.

In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.

Okay, I have to ask by now. I don't have Exalted Deeds. What's the deal with it? I know a lot of celestials are of the fuzzy persuasion, but what specifically keeps everyone bringing that up?
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

I would like to point out the author of Fursona also wrote Black Tokyo. So I would expect to see bad formatting, an over powered class, and a shit ton of worthless ones.

/tg/ covered it with scans. It had a couple of cool concepts: Octopus Monk, and Giraffe Assassin.

It had sidebars everywhere, and plenty of weird and annoying things (annoying for non-furries at the table, and annoying for someone reading through the book expecting a coherent read. Also, annoying for anyone hoping for general balance).

No idea about the pages that weren't scanned and discussed. But yeah. Just felt you needed to all know about it.

Book of Exalted Deeds wrote: The beloved of Valarian (also called Valarian’s beloved) are women who have foresworn the love of mortals to dedicate themselves entirely to
the unicorn deity Valarian, thus fostering a close bond with unicorns.
[...]
Her relationship with the unicorn is nothing less than a partnership forged in light.
[...]
All of Valarian’s beloved must be chaste and must dedicate herself wholly both to good and her unicorn companion. Should a beloved of Valarian ever willingly couple with a mortal, the unicorn leaves her company

...god damn furries.

Ahhhhhhh, I see.

Uh, yeah. Okay, case proven.

Edit: Wait a second. "Couple with a mortal" So that means getting it on with celestials and fiends is still fine? What about undead?

Hey guys, furries are still considered weird. Your personal weird threshold may have been eroded by time on the internet, but even the vast majority of DnD players consider fuckable animals a bizarre thing.

Waves of Ecstasy isn't even new. There is a spell in Shadowrun called 'orgasm' which is billed as a way of incapacitating someone without long term hostility. The AoE version was called 'orgy'.

...god damn furries.
The idea that only a virgin could tame a unicorn is a medieval concept that this draws from. Issues of "mortal" aside, all I can see this implying is that a beloved of Valarian has to "be chaste" (that is, stay a virgin) or the unicorn will cease to stay with her. Nothing furry.

Even putting the picture and link up above, it doesn't actually bother me: I can't criticise them for including their fetishes, as that would make me a hypocrite, and given I call others out on their hypocrisy, that would make me a double hypocrite.

But they do still like some weird stuff... and then fail to implement it in a balanced way.

I mean, I bet some of the top-tier designers here like Frank, K or Kaelik could make a whole supplement on, fuck, I don't know, food-fetish or whatever, and it would at least be balanced and work with the normal game rules.

That's not actually a challenge or request, for the record.

I grabbed an example off the top of my head, going out of my way not to pick one of my own, nor one that particularly grosses people out. Clearly I should have used a random table for this.

Also, not every anthropomorphic animal is created for the benefit of furries. Although Paddington Bear is pretty good whack-off material, I have to admit.
