It's a good time to just lay back and light up. ;-)

You asked...
Base damage done is (Charisma)L. Every two net successes stage by
one level. The skill used is a special skill, defaulting to Charisma
at +2. Base TN of 2.
I hate to do this, but nothing clarifies a new rule like an example...
Alicia boinks Bob.
Alicia has a Sex skill of 4, a Cha of 5 and a Will of 3.
Bob has no Sex skill, a Cha of 3 and a Will of 5.
Alicia rolls 4 dice looking for 2s, gets 3 successes. She's dealing
5L stun damage to Bob. Bob rolls his dice, gets 2 successes and
Alicia's one net success means Bob takes light stun.
Bob rolls 3 dice looking for 4s, gets 1 success. Alicia rolls 3
dice against 3L stun and gets 2 successes. Alicia ends up with 1
net success - not enough to stage the damage down. Alicia takes
light stun.
>Does that mean Barbie could kill with sex?!
Let's see - you'd need at least 14 net successes... Of course, you'd
have to be pretty brave to get intimate with a panther in the first
place. Having just seen "Cat People" a couple of weeks ago I don't
think I'd want to try... ;-)
