# Getting Started
This mod centers on a **female avatar** character. You need to play an **avatar origin** (Lone Wolf, Berserker, Courtesan, or any origin that gives you a player-controlled main character).
**Female avatar**: If your avatar is female from the start, you are ready. Progress through the heel event chain (see Transformation Event Chains below) to unlock traits, abilities, and perk trees.
**Male avatar**: If your avatar is male, you need to fight **Hexen** in battle. After the fight, a curse event chain will trigger that gradually transforms your character into a woman. Once the transformation is complete, the normal progression (heels, Dainty, Delicate, Ethereal) takes over.
**Progression summary**:
1. Gain company renown to trigger the first heel event. Wear heels taller than your current skill to level up.
2. Progress through heel stages to earn the **Dainty** trait, then **Delicate**. Each unlocks new perk trees and sex abilities.
3. Take damage in combat to unlock **Masochism** tiers (requires Delicate). Stay in the south to trigger events.
4. Cause enough partner climaxes and fight ghosts to trigger the **Ethereal quest chain**: three boss fights guided by a fox spirit, culminating in a supernatural transformation. This is the pinnacle: supernatural allure, succubus perk tree, tail weapon, and Blink teleport.
Your party members will react to your progression. Male brothers may be affected by your allure, leading to events that shift based on your Domination/Submission score.

# Features
## Allure and Beauty System
- **Allure** is a new character stat derived from your traits, equipment, melee defense, and heels. It is the core currency for seduction and beauty mechanics.
- **Entrancing Beauty**: A passive aura that can inflict Horny (or on crit, Horny + Stunned) on nearby enemies each turn and after movement. Chance scales with Allure vs target Resolve and distance. Allied male brothers can also be affected, though they get a significant Resolve bonus against it.
- **Pheromones**: Self-cast buff that boosts Entrancing Beauty's chance and adds a pink glow effect.
Dynamic sounds and animated quotes on skill use (Entrancing Beauty shown):

- **Seduce**: Ranged active ability (up to 4 tiles) that charms male enemies to fight for you. Chance: 50 + (Allure - Resolve) - 10 per tile distance. Full hit chance breakdown shown per target on hover.
## Pleasure and Climax System
- All characters with lewd traits gain a **Pleasure** resource in combat. When Pleasure reaches PleasureMax, the character has a **Climax**, applying a temporary debuff.
- **Orgasm Defeat**: Characters can be defeated by accumulating enough orgasms. Most enemies fall after 1; tougher enemies survive more based on their Resolve and miniboss status. Player characters have much higher thresholds from traits and perks, and go unconscious (recoverable) rather than dying.
- Pleasure sources: masochism (damage taken), and five sex ability types (see below).
- Enemies with humanoid bodies automatically gain PleasureMax based on their Resolve.

## Sex Abilities (5 types, 3 tiers each)
- **Hands**: Clumsy Groping / Handjob / Skilled Handjob. Scales with Domination score.
- **Oral**: Clumsy Oral / Oral Service / Deepthroat
- **Feet**: Foot Tease / Footjob / Heel Domination
- **Vaginal**: Straddle / Riding / Cowgirl. Establishes mount (visual sprite overlay).
- **Anal**: Submit / Take It / Pain is Pleasure. Scales with Submission score.
Each ability type has its own **Mastery** track that levels up through use, unlocking stronger tiers with unique icons, sounds, and flavor text. Hit chance displays Allure vs Resolve breakdown on hover. Pleasure formula factors in allure, relevant stat scaling, mastery, fatigue vulnerability, and mount bonuses.
**Mount System**: Vaginal and anal abilities can establish a mount (one character on another). Mounted targets get visual silhouette sprites showing mounters. Multiple mounters supported with front and back silhouettes.
## Domination / Submission System
- A dynamic **Dom/Sub tracker** shifts during combat based on who causes climaxes.
- **Dom tiers**: Assertive, Commanding, Dominant, Mistress. Boosts Hands ability scaling.
- **Sub tiers**: Yielding, Submissive, Obedient, Tamed. Boosts Anal ability scaling and unlocks Surrender to Pleasure.
- **Surrender to Pleasure** (sub-gated active): Costs all remaining AP. Massively boosts mounter's pleasure output and your own pleasure vulnerability, scaling with AP spent and sub score.
- Each tier has unique icons and tooltip descriptions.
## Enemy Sex AI
- Horny enemies gain access to sex abilities: **Grope**, **Force Oral** (requires mount), and **Penetrate** (establishes mount).
- Custom AI behavior prioritizes sex attacks on vulnerable targets over normal combat actions.
- Hit formula uses Melee Skill vs target Melee Defense; Horny targets are auto-hit.
- **Allied Harassment**: Male brothers affected by Horny may grope nearby female allies. Chance scales with target Allure, groper Resolve, and Dom/Sub score. Gated behind the Horny status.
## Horny Status Effect
- 2-turn debuff: -15 Resolve, -15% Initiative, -5 Melee Defense, sex abilities auto-hit.
- Applied by Entrancing Beauty aura, Shameless perk climax, and sex ability hits (50% chance).
- Enemies with Horny gain sex abilities and a custom AI behavior.
- Visual head overlay effect on affected characters.

- Three sequential combat stages, each with a unique boss:
- **The Faithless**: A bandit camp led by a named boss who spurned the spirit in life.
- **The Beast**: An unhold lair with "The Ancient One", a boss with a unique piledriver ability that grabs and pleasures targets.
- **The Killer**: A broodthing lair in a corrupted swamp. A kraken-style tentacle boss with 8 tentacles, an AoE pleasure attack (Ravage), and a custom ensnare that applies pleasure and Horny per turn.
- The final stage culminates in the spirit merging with you and the Ethereal transformation. Rich multi-screen narrative throughout.
- Culminates in the Ethereal trait: the pinnacle transformation with enhanced allure, additional perk points, unique cosmetic changes, and the Succubus perk tree.
