The fight was over. Both of them knew that. All that remained was the surrender.
She looked down at him. His limbs lay still. No strength at all. He had used all of
it fighting her relentless attacks. He heard her staggered breath. It had not been easy
getting here. More than once, he thought he had broken through her defenses. But
each time he thought he had her, she countered and reversed the advantage.
Now, he was helpless. All his strength was gone. It belonged to her now. All his
strength and all his magic. All gone. He was helpless. She could do what she wanted
with him. Her smile looked down at him. A smile as wicked and dangerous as
broken glass.
They agreed to meet in the night club. He arrived early and
sat in a dark corner so he could watch her. When she arrived,
she went straight to the dance floor, stealing strength from the
untrained. A petty trick.
When her clothes were thick with sweat, he showed himself.
She showed him that same smile. They danced with their
bodies as tight as her dress. He could feel her strength
even then. Knew of it by reputation. She was just
as dangerous as her smile.
Later, when he felt that strength against his body,
he knew the reputation was only a shadow of the
truth. But she had not accepted his challenge because
he was a novice. He had a reputation of his own. Both of
them could be considered legends. And tonight, one of them
would fall.
Three times he thought she was broken. Her fingers
clinging to his back, digging deep enough for pain. That
was the first time. The second, on her stomach. The third,
her back was against his chest. That’s when her voice broke.
When her back arched. When her arms slumped to her side.
He had her. He had her.
But here he was now. All his strength belonged to her.
Somehow, she turned all of that weakness against him. And it
was he who was on his back. His arms slumped to his side. She
had him. She had him.
The fight was over. All that remained was the surrender.
 Sexcraft is a roleplaying game about witches and wizards using sex to cast
magic, perform magical duels and gain magical power.
It is a “meta-system.” A simple set of rules you can put on top of another
roleplaying game with little or no effort or conversion. You can use Sexcraft
in your favorite fantasy RPG, your favorite modern occult horror RPG or
even a steampunk RPG. The genre and setting don’t matter.
In so many RPGs, sex is completely ignored. Why? Because it has no
impact on the game system itself. Perhaps if we offer a tangible reward—
something the players can add to their character sheets—sex will become
a more active part of the roleplaying experience.

Sexcraft is a particular kind of skill. Very few know its secrets.

In order for your character to use sexcraft, she must first learn its secrets. This
is not easy. You must find someone else who knows the art, and then, you must
convince them to teach it to you.

Consider that for a moment. You know one of the greatest secrets in the
world. A secret perhaps one hundred people know. And here comes someone
who has heard about the secret. They ask you to teach it to them. How do
you reply? What kind of payment do you demand?

Once it has been learned, the sexcraft witch or warlock can use it to gain
power from others. That power allows the warlock to change the world around
him.
Most are unaware of the magical power of sex. Pulling power from the uninitiated is
easy. However, because they do not know how to channel or focus their sexual power,
it is also very limited. The truest and most potent source of power is one that has been
mastered by one initiated in the art of sexcraft.
In other words, a sexcraft duel. Power versus power. One is left empty. The other
leaves with the power of both.

SEXUAL ENERGY
A witch or warlock gains power through sexual acts. Not only the act itself but
activities that generate sexual energy. The human body feels this gathering of energy
and reacts to it. Trembling knees. Sweat. Shortness of breath. An electrical charge

 • 1-3 Energy: You feel lethargic and
depressed. Lonely. Bitter and perhaps even
angry. You are an easy target for any kind
of attention. You are extremely vulnerable
to persuasion, seduction and appeals to
emotion.
• 4-6 Energy: You feel longing for attention
and are willing to take risks to get it. You
will risk long-term goals for short-term
satisfaction.
• 7-9 Energy: You feel good about yourself
but still feel the pang of desire. Something
is missing in your life. Difficult to say
what it is, but something… doesn’t quite
fit.
• 10+ Energy: You are confident. You are
secure. You are in control. Nothing can
stop you.
THE BLACK ROSE
The Black Rose may only be used against a
target that has injured you. The wound and the
blood must still be fresh.
Utter the subject’s full name—first, middle and
last—three times and the Black Rose is invoked.
The subject falls helpless to spasms of agonizing,
debilitating pain. He is helpless. No saving throw
or other roll can help him. Only the mercy of the
witch can release him from his pain.
THE BLUE ROSE
The Blessing of the Blue Rose requires a touch.
Once invoked, the subject must reveal one truth
to the witch. She asks one question and he must
answer.

TOO MUCH ENERGY THE GREEN ROSE

You can receive too much Energy from your
partner. If you do, that Energy is wasted. You
cannot hold more Energy than your skills permit.
For the uninitiated, that number is 10. For a
witch or warlock, that number can be much
higher. See “The Duel,” below for more.
The Blessing of the Green Rose brings beauty
and youth. After successful participation in the
Great Act, the witch may invoke the Green Rose.

FINALLY
Now that you’ve finished my little book, if you find yourself looking
back and giggling or feeling awkward or saying to yourself, “This is just
inappropriate,” I ask you to consider this.
I’m looking at my bookshelf. Thirty years of collecting. I see over
100,000 pages devoted to violence and murder.

Now you know how I feel.

A QUICK NOTE
There’s a lot of pinup art in this book. All of it is women.
We tried to find some “sexy guy” silhouettes but we
couldn’t find any. We found “strong guys” and “muscle
guys” but no “sexy guys” or “pinup guys.” Our sincere
apologies.

CLASS FEATURES
All of the following are Class Features of the sexcraft witch prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Sexcraft witches gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.
Enchantment: The sexcraft witch adds her own Will Save to the difficulty class of any
enchantment spells that require the target make a Will Save.
 Sneak Attack: This is exactly like the rogue
ability of the same name. The extra damage
dealt increases by +1d6 every other level (2nd,
4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th). If a sexcraft witch
gets a sneak attack bonus from another source
the bonuses on damage stack. In addition, the
sexcraft witch may make a sneak attack during
sexual encounters as if she had her target by
surprise.
Spells per Day: When a new sexcraft witch
level is gained, the character gains new spells
per day as if she had also gained a level in a
spellcasting class she belonged to before adding
the prestige class. She does not, however, gain
any other benefit a character of that class
would have gained, except for an increased
effective level of spellcasting. If a character
had more than one spellcasting class before
becoming an sexcraft witch, she must decide to
which class she adds the new level for purposes
of determining spells per day.
Seduction: The alluring power of a witch is
almost too great for any man (or woman) to
withstand. After any dialogue with a target, she
may make a Bluff or Diplomacy check against
TN 15. If successful, the target must make a
Will Save against the witch’s Seduction roll.
If the target fails, he is charmed and will be so
until sunrise the following morning.
Sexcraft: At first level, the sexcraft witch
gains this dangerous ability. Any individual she
beds must make a Will Save against the witch’s
Craft (Sex) as Seduction above. If the witch
is successful, the target is considered under a
special kind of compulsion. The compulsion
cannot be broken under normal means. The
subject will follow commands as per usual
compulsion, but the effect will not break until
he sleeps with another character with the Craft
(Sex) skill. The second character must roll
equal to or higher than the original roll to break
the compulsion. No other magical or mundane
8
cures will break it unless the witch breaks it
herself by making an improper command.
Caress of the Red Rose: At 3rd level, the
sexcraft witch gains the ability to heal with her
touch. The Caress of the Red Rose requires a
willing touch from her target. She must make a
Craft (Sex) roll at DC 15. If successful, she may
bestow any or all of the following effects: heal
serious wounds, aid, and restoration, lesser. She
may only perform this effect once per night for
one target.
The Cruel Kiss: At 5th level, the sexcraft
witch gains the ability to turn pleasure into
pain. The Cruel Kiss requires a touch attack. If
successful, she may cause energy drain, forcing
the target to lose one level. If she maintains the
grip, she may continue to cause energy drain.
The Cruel Kiss does not break the compulsion
caused by the sexcraft ability. The target is
so enraptured by the witch’s skills, he cannot
break free.
Dance of the Sacred Harlot: At 7th level, the
sexcraft witch gains the ability to give benefit
to more than one target. She may bestow the
same benefits from the caress of the red
rose to a number of targets equal to half
her level, rounded down.
The Black Kiss: This most deadly
affect is reserved only for those who
have truly offended the witch. To use
this effect, she must either know the
name of the target or have slept
with the target. By blooding her
lips, pointing at the target and
uttering his name, the target
must immediately make a Fort
Save against a death effect.
The DC is the 10 + the
sexcraft witch’s level + Will Save. Even
if he survives, he immediately suffers the
effects of a harm spell, regardless of his
save.
