Boons and (More Importantly) Curses for Lymnieris


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


I have a player who wants to pose as a worshiper of Lymneiris while secretly being devoted to Ardad Lili.

I can't see Lymnieris being super happy with this.

Has anyone put together any ideas for boons and curses for them?

Wasn't sure if here or 2E homebrew would make more sense....

It's hard to say, really. Lymnieris is very associated with sex, but is perhaps best though of as the deity concerned with the sanctity of consent. That's a neat area of concern, but not one really encouraging of punishment or curses.

The two obvious avenues I can see are an inability to perform sexually, which would be interesting but perhaps not appropriate in this particular case, or becoming deeply unattractive, perhaps showing obvious sores of one sort or another. The symptoms of advanced syphilis without it actually being transmissible to others, perhaps.

Gods usually have three levels of curse: minor, moderate, and major. I'm thinking his minor one would be the inabilty to perform/orgasm, and the whole syphaloid symptoms thing as the major. (I'm not sure about moderate, maybe get cursed with an illusion that makes you really ugly/disfigured, something like a permanent Veil spell that can't be dispelled.) Not sure which he would give the character, it's up to you.

One of the curses should definitely be forcing him to be a part of the Can't Cum Nation. If you want to involve the consent portfolio, probably the only non-grody thing you can do is "nobody wants to have sex with him".

Two-step curse. 1) Can't perform without a receptive partner whose pleasure / opinion / favor you actually care about (not just someone being used for that purpose, or some other purpose). 2) Can't finish until they've finished.
