Escort[edit]

An elven man walks through the inns common area on the arm of a strong warrior. The two make their way up to the warriors room.

The halfling woman comforts the injured wizard as the rest of the party sets up camp for the night.

The human escort with the party facing off against a group of drow. Through the battle the escort flirts with the drow and Party Members. This flirting throws off the drow while boosting the party's morale.

Escort with a Golden Heart[edit]

An escort can be many things, someone who has worked in a brothel as a slave, someone who sold their body to get the money to eat, or someone who was kept by a rich noble as a plaything, and so on. No matter what your background is, now you have been thrust into the role of an adventurer, be it by choice or by fate. You have to embrace your past and use it to aid your party anyway you can.

While an escort brings up images of sex and selling one's body to strangers, this class does not have to be that way. The escort does not have to jump from bedroll to bedroll of the party during rest, or take the stranger's money at the inn the party is staying in. This class is about party support and aid. While they may do this in a more flirty and erotic way, sex and nudity should never be required. On the flip side an escort could be sex crazed and/or fully okay with nudity. It’s really up to the characters' and party's comfort level both in and out of the game.

Creating a Escort[edit]

Now think about who makes up your character, what is their background? How did they end up as an escort? Were they forced into it by a slaver or a pimp? Was it something they chose to do as a thrill and a fun way to make money. Do they regret or feel shame for their past choices now? Do they look fondly at that time in their life? Do they speak openly about their past or are they guarded about their feelings?

What made them start adventuring? Did they decide to do this for the next thrill? Was is by pure chance you were in the wrong place at the right time? Are you looking for something existential or personal? All these questions are lead to better understanding your character and their motivations.

It can be hard to find good backgrounds for an escort. Entertainer will be the most widely applicable background. Guild artisan may be chosen if such work is legal and organized in your setting. Harborfolk may be a good choice, where an escort found work from men long at sea. A noble background could be chosen for high class woman fallen from her standing, forced to turned escort to survive.

Creativity will be your best guide for your background. You were hired/enslaved to be a comfort girl in the mines allowing the earthspur miner background. Your body and charm were the lure for wanted men in a bounty hunting group, allowing the background of urban bounty hunter. There are mythical stories in real life about escorts being the heroes such as Shamhat, who tamed the wild man, Enkidu. So keep these things in mind while choosing your character's background.

Quick Build

You can make an escort quickly by following these suggestions. First, Charisma should be your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity and Constitution. Choose the entertainer background.

Escort's Encouragement[edit]

At 1st level, you can inspire others through soft words and/or touch. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 30 feet of you who can hear you or you can touch. That creature gains the effects of Escort's Encouragement.

Once within the next 10 minutes, the target can choose to use your Escort's Encouragement to add your Charisma modifier to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw they make. The target can wait to use the Escorts Encouragement effect until after the roll, but before the DM determines the outcome. Once your Escort's Encouragement is used, the effect is lost. A creature can have only one Escort's Encouragement effect active at a time.

You can use this feature four times. You regain any spent uses when you finish a long rest. This limit increases to five at 5th level, six at 10th level, seven at 15th level, and eight at 20th level.

Your Escort's Encouragement strength increases as your experience as an escort grows. The value becomes your Charisma modifier + 1d4 at 7th level, and your Charisma modifier + 1d6 at 13th level. The die is rolled when the target consumes the effect.

You may regain use of Escort's Encouragement when you finish a short or long rest.

Sexy Armor[edit]

At 2nd level, your wonderful body becomes a defense of it's own. Your AC becomes 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier when you aren't wearing armor.

Whip Enthusiast[edit]

At 2nd level, when you take the Attack action with a whip, you may use your bonus action to attempt to grapple the creature. All standard grappling conditions apply to make this attempt. On a successful grapple, the target is restrained and you may not attack with the whip again until the grapple ends.

Path of Pleasure[edit]

Beginning at 3rd level, you choose a subclass that emphasizes your way of gaining pleasure between: The Way of the Kiss, The Way of the Leather, The Way of the Silk or The Way of the Beast, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your subclass choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at levels 6th, 11th, and 15th.

Distracting Figure[edit]

At 3rd level, you can use your body to distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the concentration and competence of others. When a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a damage roll, you can use your reaction to roll 1d6 and subtract the result creature’s roll. You must choose to use this feature after the creature makes its roll, but before the GM determines the outcome.

The creature is immune if it can’t see you or if it’s immune to being charmed. This can be done by flirting, dancing suggestively, flashing, or putting on other erotic displays.

You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier(minimum of one) and you regain all uses of this feature at the end of a long rest.

Lay With Me[edit]

At 5th level, you gain the power to heal. With skin to skin contact you can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you finish a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to your escort level x 5.

As an action, you press your body to the body of the wounded creature holding and soothing it. By drawing power from the pool, you may to restore a number of hit points to that creature, up to the maximum amount remaining in your pool. This can be a very intimate moment but doesn't need to be sexual.

Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You can cure multiple diseases and neutralize multiple poisons with a single use of Lay With Me, expending hit points separately for each one. This feature has no effect on undead and constructs.

Sweet Nothings[edit]

At 6th level, your allure can be used to make a creature act against their best interests. As an action, you can infatuate a target you have grappled to obey your command. The target must succeed a Wisdom saving throw against your DC of 8 +your proficiency bonus +your Charisma or be charmed for one round. Creatures that cannot be charmed or cannot understand you automatically succeed this save. A charmed target spends the duration of the effect trying to carry out the command issued.

Simple commands might be to attack an ally, throw aside a weapon, or move to a specific location.

A target cannot be compelled to move into an obviously deadly hazard, such as a fire pit, but it will provoke opportunity attacks to move in the designated direction. After taking damage from any source, it can make another Wisdom saving throw to try to end the effect early.

Next to You[edit]

At 7th level, your friends and allies have started to look to you for support. At the start of your turn, you may choose a friendly creature within 10 feet of you. They gain a bonus to saving throws equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one) as long as they stay within this range. In addition, you and all allies in this area have advantage on saving throws against charm effects. The range of this ability increases to 20ft at 12th level, and 30ft at 17th level. You must be conscious to grant this bonus.

A Roll in the Hay[edit]

At 9th level, you are experienced in getting nice and close. You may use Acrobatics instead of Athletics when attempting to grapple a creature.

Scorn[edit]

At 10th level, your words have damaging power over those infatuated with you. As an action, you may end the charmed effect cast by you on a creature within 60 feet of you, making the target take psychic damage equal to 3d6 + your Charisma modifier. Once a creature has taken damage from this feature, they are immune to this effect for 24 hours.

No Glove No Love[edit]

At 10th level, your ability to stay healthy where others would get sick is extraordinary. You become immune to diseases and poisons.

Flashing[edit]

At 11th level, you can expose yourself in ways that can make even foes loose their wits. As a bonus action you can expose yourself in whatever way to choose to one humanoid creature within a 30ft range. They must succeed a DC 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus, Wisdom saving throw or become charmed by you until the end of your next turn. The target makes their Wisdom save with disadvantage if this would prolong a charmed effect already cast by you. Creatures that cannot be charmed or cannot see you automatically succeed this save. The range of this ability increases to 60ft at 18th level.

One-Night Stand[edit]

At 14th level, your foes are reluctant to escape your contact. When a creature attempts to break your grapple, they must also make a DC 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus Wisdom saving throw or the target becomes reluctant to escape, making them have disadvantage on the check to break the grapple.

Arousal[edit]

At 15th level, your body is a work of art, got all the right stuff in all the right places. Your body is so perfect it hurts to look away. When a creature charmed by you has the effect broken before its duration expires, the target suffers 6d6 + your Charisma modifier psychic damage.

Whip it Out[edit]

At 17th level, you master your tool of the trade, the whip. When choosing the Attack action with a whip, you may add half your Charisma modifier rounded down to your attack rolls with whips, which now deal 2d4 slashing damage.

Sexy as Fuck[edit]

Erotica[edit]

At 20th level, you have mastered the skill of distracting creatures unfriendly to you while boosting friendly creatures. As an action, you may choose to put on an erotic display of your own imagining clearly visible to all creatures of your choice within a 30ft radius. The affected creatures must subtract your Charisma modifier from their attack rolls. All friendly creatures within range may add your Charisma modifier to their attack rolls.
