Celestial Obedience + Oath of Chasity


Rules Questions


Bit random and obscure question...

Oath of Chasity (Ultimate Magic)

Code of Conduct: Never engage in a romantic relationship or a sexual act.

Celestial Obedience (Chronicle of the Righteous)

Obedience for Lymnieris

Lie on a hard, flat surface wearing nothing but a cowl. Concentrate on the feeling of the surface and the air while achieving sexual release without touching yourself. Healing spells you cast heal 1 more point of damage per die.

Will achieving sexual release without "engaging" yourself for Celestial Obedience conflict with the Oath of Chasity?


I'm pretty sure these 2 conflict.


Lymneris seems... Odd. I've never picked up CotR, but I've heard some of the tasks charged with Celestial Obedience can get rather out there. At least, out there to the point of not breaking out the feat unless you're very comfortable with your group.

Celestial obediences are generally OK. Some of their are strange, but none are offensive as far as I can tell.

DEMONIC obediences on the other hand... Lamashtu requires her worshipers to mate, every day, with the intent of impregnating or being impregnated. Several other require substance abuse, DAILY torture of innocents, and various other weird (and/or impossible obediences).

I would say "achieving sexual release" is "a sexual act" regardless of whatever touching does or does not occur.

Thanks.


Well, I'm all for joking around, but that crosses the line of creepiness at the table. Almost as much as that monster in the Bestiary 4 that revolves around birthing monsters. I never thought that an ability called "Invert Birth" would be WORSE than I expected.

As long as my players dont expect to act it out, I dont mind allowing it to them. I knwo quite a few would not be mature enough for it to be allowed...

I allow the PCs to have sex. Masturbation is less often commented-on, but presumably occurs. I have no problem with this Obedience or any other.

And given that Lymneris is the Empyreal Lord of virginity, the thematic resonance means I'd probably allow the combination with Oath of Chastity as well.

Yeah, I kinda had this in mind earlier when I posted this.
