Erotomancy[edit]

The Erotomancy Magic School is a minor discipline, often employed by bards, lustful sorcerers and clerics of deities of love. Erotomancy spells encompass multiple spells from traditional schools, especially abjuration, enchantment, illusion and transmutation. They are used to induce pleasure and amicable sentiments into others, or to convince or force others in doing what the caster wants. Some spells work only on a consensual basis, other don't, and are often frowned upon and even legally prosecuted. Others are employed during lovemaking and romantic occasions.

This is, for any effect, a magic school, allowing to take feats that empower these spells or become specialist wizards in erotomancy (which are called erotomancers). You may not choose this school as a prohibited school, but if you specialize in it you may choose just one prohibited school, instead of two, and you may still cast spells of that school if they are also erotomancy spells.

Any spell from the Love domain is from the Erotomancy School if cast by someone that has this domain.

True Erotomancer[edit]

As a special option you may transform any spellcaster in a true erotomancer. To do this just limit the spellcaster's spells list to erotomancy spells (comprehensive of domain spells), adding any erotomancy spell not from its original list. In addition, it should cast erotomancy spells at caster level +1, and add +1 to the DC of erotomancy spells it casts (it has the Spell Focus feat for the erotomancy school). Alternatively you may give it the Spell Focus Improved feat for this school.

It gains one extra prepared spell or spell slot per spell level (as a specialist wizard) and +2 to Knowledge and Spellcraft checks involving erotomancy and to Charisma checks made to flirt with others.

Be aware that you may adapt spell levels for minor spellcasters (such as bards) and partial spellcasters (such as paladins and rangers).

In alternative, you may use the generic spellcaster from Unearthed Arcana as base. You may want to add more skills and/or skill points, another good save or increase the hit die from a d4 to a d6, because your choice of spells will be very limited and you won't get the full list of a base class. Treat spells that appear on multiple spells lists at different levels as the lowest level of them. It would be also better let the erotomancer consider all erotomancy spells as known, casting them as a dread necromancer[1] or a beguiler[2] would, given the small number of spells this school has.
