Base Class: Bard
Bards of the College of Carnal Knowledge (appropriately called cocks) are rare even in the most populated and metropolitan of cities. They arouse the senses up close and personally inviting all to join them in their revelry. These bards are the center of attention as they titillate and arouse people around them. As such they will often be employed as scouts or decoys as their companions work unseen.
While it would be easy to scoff at these bards, to call them degenerates, or accuse them of questionable morals, these bards hone their bodies and craft to a level that would rival even the most pious of monks. In a time and place where magic and all manner of martial weaponry is available, for these bards, the body is their greatest instrument.
Blatantly Exposed Defense
At 3rd level, while you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier. You gain proficiency with shields and still gain this benefit if using one. You also gain the grappler feat if you do not already have it.
Brazenly Erotic Gestures
Also at level 3, as a bonus action, you can expend one use of your bardic inspiration to set afire the passions and desires in a creature within 60 feet to make a Charisma saving throw. If the creature fails, they are driven into a lustful single-mindedness as they are now charmed by you and immediately use their reaction to spend as much of their movement to move towards you. At the start of their next turn, they can make a Wisdom saving throw to regain their senses. On a success, the creature will know it had been charmed by you.
Assistive Sensual Supplements
Starting at 6th level, you are strengthened(among other things) by others in close proximity to you. You gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus for every creature within 5 feet of you.
Additionally, while you have these temporary hit point, you have advantage on Constitution saving throws and resistance to bludgeoning damage.
Smut Epitomized: Xanadu
Starting at 14th level, your Brazenly Erotic Gestures no longer costs a use of your bardic inspiration. Furthermore, your power to incite lust in others has achieved a level that you can now drive entire groups of people into dionysian hysteria. No longer are you just the center of attention, you are the center of the universe for those that succumb to your charm. The revelry around you is constant and sacred. Should it be disturbed or one partaking in your uproarious delights be harmed, you and the throng will fight back with an unrestrained fervor.
As an action, you may choose a number of creatures within 100 feet equal to your Charisma modifier to make a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, that creature is charmed and on their next turn, use as much of their movement to move towards you. As a bonus action, you may expend one use of your bardic inspiration to a creature in range, of your choosing, to also receive the benefit of your Assistive Sensual Supplements.
Also, if a charmed creature is within 5 feet of you, you may use your reaction to impose disadvantage on any attack roll, skill check, or saving throw against any other creature who would do harm to another charmed creature by you.
