Finesse fighters never add their Strength modifier to the Armour Piercing rating of their weapon. However, if a finesse fighter’s attack roll beats the target’s chosen Defence by a number equal to at least the DR of the armour, that armour is completely ignored. Furthermore, finesse fighters never damage armour when making their attacks, even when they do not bypass it entirely.

Class Abilities ☠
- Comeliness: A temptress takes a pride in her appearance and is naturally well-dressed and groomed. She also has an exceptionally well-formed body. She receives a +2 circumstance bonus to all Charisma-based skill checks in situations where her appearance might play a part. Her Base Reputation increases by +2.
- Savoir-Faire: the Temptress has a certain flair, dashing style, élan or bravura that marks her a someone special. Everything she does is performed with style, whether it be entering a room and turning heads, carving her initials into a tapestry with her rapier or even savoring a meal at a banquet to impress her host. The temptress can intentionally attempt to impress others with her style n any task. The temptress may make any required checks normally but if her result is five or more higher than the required DC to succeed in the task, she has performed the deed with stunning flair. She gets +2 circumstance bonus to her next Charisma based skill check.
- It is very hard to embarrass the temptress for she can turn even a fall into an elegant dance. Anytime she fails badly at something she can make a Bluff skill checks a reaction to mitigate the failure and make it look intentional. The DC depends on the nature of what she has done wrong but it is usually 15 or 20. The higher the result the better her reaction to failure appears.
- As a free action the temptress make a Diplomacy check to oppose anyone who tries to embarrass her, even if she is unaware of what is going on.
- Seductive art: A temptress gains an inherent understanding of sexuality as it pertains to social situations. She gains a +1 competence bonus on Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, Perform and Sense Motive checks at 2nd level. This bonus also applies to her magic attack bonus if she takes the Sorcery Secret art at third level. This bonus increases by +1 every four levels thereafter. Further, the temptress relishes the conquest of new types of people. Whenever the temptress successfully seduces a person who is of a race and class combination not previously seduced by her, she receives a +2 bonus to all attack rolls, magic attack rolls, damage rolls and saving throws for the whole of the next day. She also has a +2 bonus to Reputation for the next week.
- Compelling Performance: A temptress with five or more ranks in Perform (any) can cause all those within 30 feet of her who are attracted to her gender (and not otherwise distracted, such as in combat) to become fascinated with her. The targets are allowed a Will save (DC 10 + her Perform skill modifier). Those who become fascinated receive a –4 penalty to Listen and Spot checks so long as the temptress keeps performing. Should a target make its save, the temptress cannot attempt to fascinate that same target again for 24 hours. If the temptress has 10 or more ranks in Perform, the fascinated audience’s penalty to Listen and Spot checks is further increased to –6; if she has 15 or more ranks in Perform the fascinated audience’s penalty to Listen and Spot checks is further increased to –8. The temptress must be wearing no armour to use compelling performance. At 2nd level, she can use this ability once per day; this increases as she gains levels.
- Secret Art (Sorcery): Gain one sorcery style for the sorcery table along with the basic spell (but not the defensive blast) associated with it. Also learn to access her personal magic energy. Base Power points is 2 + wisdom mod. If she selects dabbler feat, she gains an additional +2 Power Points
- Seductive Savant: A temptress has a gift for using sex to enhance a single skill, using her sensual nature to dampen the resistance of others. The temptress adds a competence bonus equal to half her temptress class level when making checks with one skill chosen from the following list: Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate or Perform. This does not stack with seductive art but can supersede it for the chosen skill.
- Binding Contract: Temptresses are usually temptresses because they have specific goals. These
goals, which usually concern power, mean the temptress must usually enlist others to do her dirty work. People will do anything to please a temptress, usually in the hopes that their compliance will lead to more mutual (and sexual) pleasure in the future. The temptress can use this weakness to create verbal contracts so binding the other party must hold to the agreement for fear that breaking it will ultimately cost them dearly. Creating a binding contract requires an opposed Diplomacy check between the temptress and the primary party responsible for the other side of the deal. If the temptress wins this contest, she creates a contract the other party must uphold. If the temptress fails the contest, then negotiations have fallen through and may not be resumed for at least another day. There is a special effect if this is used against a sorcerer: a sorcerer who enters a binding contract with a temptress becomes subject to the Rule of Obsession (see page 230), either with the fulfillment of the contract or with the temptress.

Magic ☠
| Magical Bonus: +7 |
Class: +1 |
Secret Art: +1 |
Ability Mod. (CHA): +5 |
Magical style: Hypnotism ☠
Entrance (Basic Hypnotism)
| Power Point Cost: None |
Components: S, M or F |
Casting Time: One full round |
| Range: Evil Eye |
Target: One creature |
Duration: Concentration |
| Saving Throw: Will negates |
Magic Attack Roll: Sets DC for the target’s saving throw |
| Material Component or Focus: A shining object, such as a small mirror, suspended from a cord |
When you cast this spell, the target creature must make a Will saving throw or be unable to take any actions for as long as you concentrate.
If the creature is attacked or sustains damage while entranced, it may attempt a saving throw again to throw off the effects of the spell. This second saving throw gets a bonus equal to the amount of damage inflicted.
This spell can only affect a creature that has six or fewer hit dice. It is possible to boost the power of this spell by preparation. For each full round in which you do nothing but stare at the target creature before attempting to entrance it (whether or not you have eye-to-eye contact over that time) you can affect a creature of +2 HD and you gain a circumstance bonus of +1 on your magic attack roll.
Note that an entranced creature is not stunned, so attackers gain no special advantage against it.
