Tempters?

[Spectator]

This thread is repulsive to me.
Grima a tempter, I don't think so, he's so uncharismatic.

Not to Theoden, he wasn't, always whispering in his ear.

And why is this thread replusive to you?

Well, Theoden was "Magic-Jarred" by Saruman, so the whispering probably wasn't even necessary.

#2 It's totally repulsive to me to have a male PC trying to seduce women all the time during play.
Imagine:
GM: you guys arrive in Shadizar.
Barbarian: Grondar find aleshop!!!
Thief: I'm following grondar, and seeing if I can lift a few coins in the process.
Scholar: I'm following Grondar and getting a room at the tavern, have a nice meal and drink, scope out the whores, and then work on deciphering my scrolls of Skelos and learn where I can hook up some black lotus.
Tempter: I'm not going to the ale house. I am going to the noble Bitches and start my dance of desire! I then plan to insinuate myself in theor company and become a male black-widow, to gain access to their wealth and power. Oh yeah, I got to go to the Whip store and get a new one since my last one was worn down in a debacuherous Derketo festival.

As you can see, it's much more of a solo-play and I think that some light-in-the-loafer nemedian tempter is just a joke. I guess I'm also a chauvinistic homophobe (just speculation at this juncture, though).

I don't know about the game mechanics of a Temptress/Tempter, but that wouldn't fly in my game. I don't see either getting control of and manipulating someone so fast.

And, many times, I think the Tempter/Temptresses victim actually gives the power of them to the Tempter/Temptress without really knowing it. Men give women power over themselves all the time just because they are attracted to the woman. The same goes for the priest scenario I mention above. A "true believer"would actually hand over the power over themsevels to the priest instead of the priest taking control of them through some means.
