MAKING A LOVER AND
A FIGHTER
“Love is a battleground. It behooves one to be well-
equipped, to know your opponent’s movements and
to ensure that your lines of supply are open.”
—Red-Piss Legion Dragonlord
Strikes-at-Night
So you don’t want to be just a god-king come
to bring justice and glory back to Creation—you
want to be a god-king
of sex
. A character with the
Motivation to be known as Creation’s greatest lover
might take every social Charm in the book and get
by just fine. Fortunately, you don’t have to neglect
every other aspect of a character to be an effective
lover. For the most part, you don’t even have to
penetrate deeply into Charm trees to get a decent
array of Charms for all the situations of seduction.
After all, it’s not enough to have five different ways
to get a particularly luscious treat into bed—what
about pleasing your lover once there? Or guarding
against certain unfortunate side effects?
For the dabbler, an Excellency or two in the ap-
propriate categories will suffice—typically Presence,
Performance or Athletics (or Dexterity and the Social
Attributes for Lunars). It’s also important to have
decent mental defenses to avoid being unwillingly
seduced, which is where Integrity, Appearance and
Willpower come in handy. If the Storyteller chooses
to make the chance of pregnancy an issue for female
characters, maiden tea (see
Exalted
, p. 365) is a simple
and effective contraceptive, available at Resources 2
and requiring only one dose a month. For those who
wish to delve deeper, suitable Charms vary according
to Exalt, as follows.
For seduction, Solars benefit most directly from
Heart-Compelling Method (see
Exalted
, p. 202)
and Wild Revelry Approach (see
Exalted
, p. 238).
Husband-Seducing Demon Dance (see
Exalted
, p.
203) is the ultimate of such Charms and belongs in the
arsenal of any dedicated lover, but it takes quite a few
steps to reach. Graceful Crane Stance (see
Exalted
,
5
pp. 222-223) or Feather-Foot Style (see
Exalted
, p.
225) allow for unique positions, while Immunity
to Everything Technique (see
Exalted
, p. 208) is a
handy ward against playing in dirty pools.
As the dark side of Solars, Abyssals have Charms
that mirror the Solar versions, and generally work
just as well—or better for the sole purpose of seduc-
tion, in the case of Irresistible Succubus Style (see
The Manual of Exalted Power—The Abyssals
,
pp. 142-143).
The Dragon-Blooded have Warm-Faced Seduc-
tion Style (see
The Manual of Exalted Power—The
Dragon-Blooded,
p. 160) as their primary tool,
but the usefulness of Passion Transmuting Nuance
and Sweeten-the-Tap Method (see
The Manual
of Exalted Power—The Dragon-Blooded
, p. 159)
should not be overlooked—the former allows one
to seduce a bitter enemy, while the latter paves the
way for orgiastic excess. On the other hand, Soul-
Stirring Performance Method (see
The Manual of
Exalted Power—The Dragon-Blooded
, pp. 178-179)
is a much more direct way to induce lust in a large
group: just give the audience the goal “have sex with
the performer.” Jade Defense (see
The Manual of
Exalted Power—The Dragon-Blooded
, pp. 159-
160), in turn, helps resist such tactics. Finally, when
planning a week-long orgy, the usefulness of Unsleep-
ing Earth Meditation (see
The Manual of Exalted
Power—The Dragon-Blooded
, p. 144) should not
be underestimated.
Lunars are, bar none, the most adaptable lovers
among the Exalted, and in addition, they possess a
number of Charms that appeal directly to baser emo-
tions. Between Terrifying Lust Infliction (see
The
Manual of Exalted Power—The Lunars
, p.168),
Irresistible Silver Spirit (see
The Manual of Exalted
Power—The Lunars
, p. 177) and Perfect Symmetry
(see
The Manual of Exalted Power—The Lunars
, p.
176), Stewards can have their choice of individuals.
For that matter, they can have their choice of entire
groups via Feeding the Bear Progression (see
The
Manual of Exalted Power—The Lunars
, p. 176).
Scorpion and Toad Absolution (see
The Manual of
Exalted Power—The Lunars
, p. 161) wards off the
nastier side effects of sleeping around, while Hard-
Nosed Denial Style (see
The Manual of Exalted
Power—The Lunars
, p. 168) serves as a potent
defense against being seduced. This is without even
getting into all the possibilities of shapeshifting—
especially with the Knacks Prey’s Skin Disguise (for
the amoral seducer,
The Manual of Exalted Power—
The Lunars
, pp. 131-132) and Twin-Faced Hero
(see
The Manual of Exalted Power—The Lunars
,
p. 136)—or the vast kingdom of beasts.
The Sidereals are ideally suited to seducing
spirits and gods, as many of their Charms are aimed
6
at dealing with them—for instance, Song of Spirit
Persuasion (see
The Manual of Exalted Power—
The Sidereals
, p. 148) and Mark of Exaltation (see
The Manual of Exalted Power—The Sidereals
, p.
169). For more general lovers, though, a Bureaucracy,
Performance, Presence or Socialize Excellency plus
Heart-Brightening Presentation Style (see
The
Manual of Exalted Power—The Sidereals
, p. 146)
can go a long way. World Shaping Artistic Vision
(see
The Manual of Exalted Power—The Sidereals
,
p. 141) with a condition of “While Bedding” can
turn a crafty Vizier into the best of lovers. However,
the most powerful Charms are Cash and Murder
Games (see
The Manual of Exalted Power—The
Sidereals
, p. 149) and You and Yours Stance (see
The Manual of Exalted Power—The Sidereals
, p.
150), allowing a Sidereal to wield great emotional
power. Surprisingly, Viziers have no easy way to resist
seduction attempts in any situation, save a generally
applicable Integrity Excellency.
Of course, you could choose to develop your
character further in different directions—one char-
acter might become renowned for her indefatigable
stamina and endless charm, while another has such
great beauty, he has only to walk by a couple to cause
arguments and lust-induced breakups. Or one might
choose instead to develop a special rapport with
the beasts of the field. The guidelines above are a
good base to build from, however. Beyond that, the
imagination is the limit.
