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.
