Celibate Hero: Difference between revisions

Line 276:

* ''[[GURPS]]'' gives us the Chastity disadvantage, giving your Celibate Hero functional rules for what that entails.

* ''[[Paranoia]]'' [[Crapsack World|doesn't have heroes]], but does have universal celibacy due to hormone suppressants in the food supply. Some citizens do get off the suppressants, mostly either (a) High Programmers or (b) Troubleshooters stuck Outdoors during a mission and forced to eat natural food long enough for them to wear off. Some of these citizens end up going back on them ''voluntarily'' so they can concentrate on not getting killed. It's that kind of game.

* The 2nd Edition of ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' has an interesting variation with the clergy of Nut, the Egyptian Goddess of the Sky. Her clerics are allowed to have lovers and expected to be faithful to them, but can never legally marry. In addition, they must always aid couples who are in love but forcibly kept apart. This is due to Nut herself [[Star-Crossed Lovers]] being separated from her own lover, the Earth god Geb]]; to devote oneself to Nut, one must symbolically be separate from the one they love.
