One day while treasure hunting in the sea, Garble happened upon a sunken ship. It was loaded with valuables but none compared to the golden harp he found. He managed to haul it home without being seen and he cleaned it. He pondered melting it to create something more befitting a rugged dragon like himself, but the somehow perfectly preserved strings piqued his curiosity. After he plucked one, there was no going back. Life as he knew it was over and with him he would carry a dark secret he couldn’t even tell his closest relatives: an irresistible urge to play this dainty instrument whenever one was near. The worst part? He’s good at it.
This proves problematic in Equestria, which has a high harp-to-pony ratio for some cursed reason…
if one or more of your players roll to seduce: own it. It’s world building. It’s character building. Sex ain’t a free action. Bring that fucker to the bedroom. Think about your NPC’s sexual traits. Roll dexterity. Make your players roll constitution saves. Give them challenges. If they don’t please the beast, go praying mantis on them. What’s weaker than a bard? A naked bard. Their AC has now been hella dropped. Maybe they succeed and all is well, but that displacer beast is clingy and keeps encountering the party.
So the next time some smug players seduces your encounter, you smirk and you turn the tables on them. :)
I think about pokemon in non-battle situations a lot. Like pokemon who have been trained/raised to be helpers and assistants than to be battle partners.
Pokemon visiting hospitals to cheer patients up like dogs and cats do. Or ones that help kids learn to read, speak, swim, go through therapy?! Even pokemon who’s abilities help owners with specific disabilities?!
I love thinking of pokemon outside of battle situations.
Service Pokemon!

service Pokemon is my fave thing to come out of this fandom
