Also nobody thinks bhu is actually trying to insult or offend anyone and the BG forums are reasonably casual and polite unlike some other forums. For example on the Datarealms forum (forum for cortex command(incomplete but highly mod-able game)) Cooljoesmith posts the EAF and Rawtoast starts the flame war on page 5 including blaming it for alleged sexual content (see rawtoast's second post). On the BG forums bhu posted the Katgrrl's PRC with an obvious sexual theme and got praise. Notice the difference?

Added the first three wrasslin' holds to teh Fat Chick and finished the fluff.  Think the holds are true enough to actual wrestling (well, except that last one anyway...)

No I'm sure that's a real wrestling move.

I don't know if I read this right, but as I understand it, you can get Mutable Age at level 6? That seems a little overpowered. Sure there is the pre-exisiting Dragonwrought Kobold Cheese, but this opens the way for every race to do the same thing... You may wish to reword it or restrict the level that players would take this mutation.

As is, you are letting a level 6 character gain +3 to Wis, Int, and Cha. No penalties, no questions asked, and they can do it even if they had started by playing an avarage aged character...
I don't recall the part of Kamehameha where people launched redwoods at each other.

Read again.  Your stats don't change at all, just your apparent age.

That's fine, but it still doesn't stop them from playing an old or venerable character and obtaining that ability. I still consider it overpowered.

Add a clause in saying that previously obtained penalties still apply? Really, at best you're getting +1/+2 to your mental stat modifiers, and you took six levels in Chaos Monk for this as well as playing an old/venerable character. I'm not entirely sure why this is such a problem, since this class does require a pinch of MAD and this would seem to lessen it a bit.

If they're playing an old or venerable PC, they still have the physical stat penalties associated with being that age.  Yes this will remove those penalties when they get it, but who the hell is going to play an arthritic geezer for 6 levels just to say "AHA! I SUCK LESS NOW! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ow my back"

the broken thing is human chaos monk, 3 feats. two flaws, 2 feats. 2 copies of premature mutation for Narcissist's Boon, Mutable Gender, then 2 feats for Unearthly beauty and Yaoi Boi/Yuri Gurl. Everyone you meet must save or be charmed at 1st level with room for another mutation,or drop human for a better race, or if you sell you soul you can get 3 mutations.

P.S. should Yaio Boi/Yuri Gurl add to targets for unearthly beauty and make unearthly beauty charm monster instead of making the people who would not possibly be attracted to you normally affected more.

The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

Looking at the Chaos Monk and having worked on PrC's for it. I'm finding some flaws in the design.  I may have to redo it, and then  rework the current PrC's a lil better.  Any objections to my fiddling with the Base Class?

I fold Body in FLux into mutations, and give them the above progression?  I'd still need to work out a few abilities.
