God of sex's paladins

What would be the ethos, behaviour, gear of a paladin of the God/Goddess of sex/lust/love in your setting?

They'd be divine prostitutes and the ultimate wingmen, willing to help you learn how to love, who to love, and why love is so important.

The gear would be armor obviously, with kits of holy balms, oils and maybe contraceptives.

Honestly this isn't a very difficult question.

Prostitutes arent thr best mentors in the love department

Really seems like just a thin-veiled "post chainmail bikini" thread.

Pretty much this.

They might be quasi-Buddhist in their outlook, believing that suffering is caused by desire (with an obvious skewing towards sexual desire), but that, instead of seeking to rid yourself of desire by meditation and introspection, one should find healthy outlets for that desire. This might be getting a little magical-realmy but they might encourage the act of "jerking off about it" i.e. experiencing sexual release before making important decisions. Hell, self pleasure might be their morning ritual to commune with their god and prepare spells for the day. I know it's mine heyoooooo

They would probably take it upon themselves to be the defenders of sex workers, to the point of becoming benevolent pimps, ensuring they are protected, healthy and well fed, and taking a tithe of their earnings to maintain the brothel-shrine. I imagine rape and/or pederasty would be the most heinous crime in their eyes, as it perverts something that's supposed to be good and might tarnish sex and love for the victim for the rest of their life. I'd also imagine they abhor most enchantment magic as it can facilitate the above.

I imagine they'd have gear similar to most paladins, like the other post said, with an emphasis on benign alchemy and herbal healing. That herb that the Romans had that acted as a contraceptive would likely be sacred to them.

All in all, they sound pretty comfy. I'd play that.

When will you degenerates fuck off back to your smut boards already?

I'm reminded of the Summer Islanders from Game of Thrones with this.

They believe that god would not have given them sexual desires and the equipment to fulfill them unless the divine wanted them fulfilled. Therefore, sex is an expression of worship as much as it is a celebrated form of release. I could easily see Paladins that follow this ideal cropping up, dedicated to defending the sanctity of sex and love by wiping out the darker perversions such lusts seem to inevitably create.

I'd want to play one too, the concept of a Paladin that fights not just for the eradication of evil, but the purity of sex seems mighty comfy.

And lewd, but if I was playing a character like this a little ERP or lewd is expected.

Why? Seems like we're having a reasonable, adult discussion, here.

>holy ara ara paladins teaching young boys the importance of love

/ss/ always finds a way.

>Thou shaltst tongue the asshole
>Thou shaltst eat the pussy
>Thou shaltst suck the cock
>Show thy dedication to your lover in these ways to please your god

A LG Paladin of sex is not going to fuck a kid, the absolute most they might do is give them the talk.

You gotta look at sex through the lens of a lawful good member of society, they might be absolute freaks in bed but outside of it they'd probably try to hook other people up than doing the hook ups themselves.

But what of the way paladins play now? There are no alignment restrictions on Paladins or any other class now. What of a CN Paladin? NE?

>A LG Paladin of sex is not going to fuck a kid
Why not?

Oh you better believe a CN Paladin is going to fuck that young teenager.

Power imbalance due to age against the victim. Same reason it's sleazy to marry an 18 year old if you're 50, or a college professor dates one of her students.

That is neither lawful (laws against pederasty) nor good (as explained above.)

LG might give a handy, in extreme cases of need to relieve the person of stress, or at the very least watch to see that it is done correctly. LN would explain via "birds and the bees", LE would show them /d/ related smut corrupting their character forever.

You mean Slaanesh?

I don't really see any use for a god of sex though.

Are power balances inherently immoral? At what age does it even out? Does it depend on the strength of the kid? If not, what exactly makes it immoral?

What if there are no laws or moral obligations that have anything to do with pederasty? Then it's perfectly lawful. See Afghanistan for example, where fucking little boys up the butt has nothing to do with your ethics.

The fact you even need to ask...
>Why no pedo guise...?
...speaks volumes.
Has a group ever kicked you out?

Yeah, I'm sure YOU don't user

oh boy, here we go...

That's what I thought.

Why would a lust deity need paladins, no part of that portfolio suggests any need for some kind of divine enforcement.

The thread is giving good reasons why a lust deity might have Paladins, namely the enforcement of "good" sex and desire.

Never.

>tfw Veeky Forums is in such a sorry state that contemporary taboos and values may not be explored for fear of persecution or something

ps I'm not much of a pedo, my preferred age is two years and counting above what counts as illegal.

Paladins of sex battle forces opposed to their god. Abstinence for example or prudishness.

Veeky Forums confuses clerics for paladins. Again.

No mate, we just live in the real world.

Fucking children isn't a topic for the average game table.

Have you ever brought this up with your group?

How do you 'battle' a concept such as abstinence or prudishness with a sword?

How witty of you user.

I would understand the need of a god of fertility, which also groups in harvest and more practical things: a god of sex alone is very fucking magical realm.

Paladins and clerics who follow gods/goddesses of fertility must have a respectable part of their education geared towards sexual education.

...

>Are power balances inherently immoral

Power imbalance is not inherently immoral, but it is not Good unless under very specific circumstances (the kindly ruler, for example.)

>At what age does it even out

(Your Age/2) + 7 = Minimum Age of Partner

>Does it depend on the strength of the kid

No, a burly 12 year old is still as childish as a scrawny 12 year old. You could certainly plead ignorance if anything happens, but that's still something worth a scrutinizing eye.

>What if there are no laws or moral obligations that have anything to do with pederasty?

Most fantasy settings made by the West include some basic taboos which always include sex with kids.

"Do unto her others, or I shall Smite Appendage."

Overthrowing ideologies that teach sex between consenting adults is shameful.

Punishing rapists.

Paladins are specifically warriors, user. They are the saintly knights of legend made real. They're not just, you know, clerics with more weapon and armor proficiency.

Yes, and they can do battle with entire societies, overthrowing despots who hate sexpots.

Sounds like a Paladin that targets abusive pimps, rapists, broken homes and Orcs.

in game mostly yeah they are, Paladins fucking suck in their implementation and became a meme class

Totally.

Only violently. A paladin's tools are pretty much all geared for violence.

Yes, violently. And?

I never implied they'd overthrow a despot with carefully placed smutty propaganda.

Of course it's not a topic to discuss at length.

That said, as my first time as DM and as my parties' first time at Veeky Forums stuff in general, they saved a ten year old or so princess from some terrorists/bandits. Was implied that they'd do some pretty bad stuff to her if the ransom wasn't paid, and that was the extent of it. No one really gave a fuck.

>Most fantasy settings made by the West include some basic taboos which always include sex with kids.
Sure, can't really argue with that. Perhaps settings should be weirder though, to make them more interesting to explore. See and compare Morrowind the game to Oblivion the game.

Well, the typical paladin would also be killing these people.

>The badguys were gonna fuck a kid.
Yeah, cause they are the bad guys.
Kinda proving the point.
>Implying "can I fuck kids?" makes a setting richer.
Just No.

So the logical conclusion is that the god of lust is Chaotic Evil?

Why?

Most of those are matters for local law enforcement.

Paladins of Sex treat the issues as having Cosmic Significance.

They'd be chaste virgins.

>but my fetish

Nope, nope, nope.

Because all of those things are also evil. Except broken homes, unless those homes are demon homes.

No.

>Yeah, cause they are the bad guys.
>Kinda proving the point.
Merely answered your question that yes, I have included it in a game before.

>>Implying "can I fuck kids?" makes a setting richer.
>Just No.
Just have settings that differ from what we're used to.

ps. not a pedo

A Paladin of love would just be a generic Neutral Good Paladin with a bent toward stopping evil that is particularly damaging to relationships and likely would place more emphasis on understanding the consequences of violence.

Paladin of sex/lust is shitty erp territory.

The inherent perversion and the implication that sex is something that's depraved or antithetical to Paladin's natural stance is a corruption and evil in itself - physical love is one of fundamentals of natural order and it benefits everyone involved.

The reason why people assume that paladins might be not "fun" is because what they fight an aspect of sex which is ultimately just the depraved decadence that counts sexual pleasure among it's many vices, where it's stripped of it's meaning and turned into a mechanical activity.

You honestly let Average Paladins waste time on issues as petty as this outside their god's sphere...?

Why aren't all Paladins just Dredd then?

EXTREMELY loving. Potentially incapable of telling the difference between the different forms of love & thinks sex = love

>Not a pedo
Maybe autistic though.
My last (You)
Enjoy.

Not all Paladins worship a specific god, and it's really up to the specific paladin as to whether or not they'll specialize in a type of evil to fight. The D&D default is that they fight all evil everywhere because fighting any sort of evil is a worthwhile endeavor.

Yeah okay, the god that topples lawful governmew for not aligning with his arbitrary viewpoint and having his champions put people to the sword for practicing what is universally viewed as self-sacrificing Godliness totally isn't Chaotic Evil.

Everything has cosmic significance.

An orc that rapes a valiant female knight is committing as grave a sin on the sanctity of the cosmic good as if he killed her.

Then the D&D default is retarded and the average paladin should waste his life stuck in one city smiting people who step on the grass.

Lawful to whom?
Fair enough.

I'm pretty sure even druids step on grass. However, it's really not unheard of for paladins to take to protecting a city, and it's not seen as a waste of time either. Fighting evil is fighting evil.

. . . I really want to play a paladin of a god of good, honest, and moral pimping in a campaign where the BBEG is an elder lich "running" a "coven" of "witches."

/thread

What if age-mismatched marriages are period appropriate?

Obviously you don't have to make things go to ERP level, but pederasty was part of many societies and was perfectly moral to them. There is no absolute morality, what is moral depends on culture.

I'd play in that group, user.

Eh, personally I don't see the appeal of divine cops. Paladins should be dealing with things beyond the ken of normal men.

Paladins in that case would be less cops and more like Batman but I can see your point.

We must find a DM.

I don't know if there's Templars of Rhya. I know Taal has them. I would assume Rhya templars would be concerned with defending farmlands and BTFOing Slaanesh and Nurgle scum.

Now you bring up Batman, I kinda see yours too.

Oh, they're definitely going to give them the talk. These guys would totally be about knowing about sex and performing it well and in a sacred way.
What in the actual fuck is that pic related?

You mean Paladins of Lymnieris, the LG Goddess of prostitution, rites of passage, and virginity?
No, I'm not making this up, it's a published god Paizo made.

>What in the actual fuck is that pic related?
It's from a Japanese porn game series (yes, series) that also had some anime made of some of it (not the pic directly, but some off-shoots from it).

The guy fucking in the pic is apparently an immortal who found out that he had the magical power to rape woman and they then fall madly in love with him or some shit. They always bear him a child, usually two (a girl always, but sometimes they also give him a boy who gain a lesser version of his power, just sans the immortality bit usually).

Anyway, said dude is so fucked up he started having sex with his half sister, then the daughter from that relationship, and so on and so on for generations as you can see. What's funny is you can see them becoming derpier as it goes on.

>What in the actual fuck is that pic related?

Evidence that we need to bomb Japan again.

We don't even know what system would work the best or when to run it.

Holy shit, look at this nonsense

>Her sacred colors is literally blood on a bed sheet

Nice.

Check her obedience, user

That is more magical realm than most of this thread.

It's me.

"Treat your maidens justly and fairly, for the strength of thy hand is the righteousness of your rule."

"Suffer not he who takes without giving nor asking to live, for he has discarded all that makes a Jon your fellow mortal, and all that makes a partner a fellow."

"He who abuses the power of thy hand shall surely meet justice, as the abuse of such power diminishes it's holiness!"

"A trick that which hoards from her keeper will neither know his comforts, nor retain that which she hoards, for she hath sinned against the trade."

I'd say 5e or something similar, just because comfort zone.

this pic makes no sense, it's not rape if she's willing

With this bomb?

>Undo Maturation
Why the fuck... What?

Shall I get the pasta?

>paladin of sex confirmed pedo

The funny thing is, there is an actual God of Pedos in PF.
She's NE, and her sacred animal is a bear.

Paizo is degenerate as fvck

And in published material no less...

Fuck this planet.

Nvmnd I was wrong. They changed it to a black stork.

>PedoBear
You can't be serious.

What if there was a God of Homosexuality? What would his paladins be like?

Flaming Swordsmen.

>inb4 Paizo did it already

Do they have Brooklyn accents?

Naturally.

Who do you think posted this thread, user?

They probably wouldn't have paladins because their religion would be centered around smashing dat ass rather than smiting dat evil.

A lot of women have a rape fetish, where they "struggle" while a man is "forcing" himself on her.

Bet it gets confusing when dat ass IS evil. Can a Paladin's holy dick fuck the evil out of someone?

I just got flashbacks of the hero from Brandish

It's great when Veeky Forums memes leak out into the general public.
