So I was wondering what happens if a race without a gender, or perhaps more than two genders (something like Rakririan (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rakririan)) puts on a Masculinity/Femininity belt?

No gender: no change. Otherwise, let the dice decide.
3+ genders: The DM shall make a sort of "wheel". The belt's curse turns you clockwise on the wheel. Removing the curse resets you to your normal gender. Otherwise, let the dice decide.

Not sure how a race with no interest in sex/romance changes how the griddle works ("Sexless" is likely the word you are looking for).

Anyways, the griddle doesn't actually exist in 3.5 (It does in PF though), but I'd say there would be no effect if a sexless creature donned it.

While it doesn't exist, it's still part of the random effect for a curse item when you roll 30-32.

Yeah, but it lacks the die roll and chance to become neuter.

No, actually, "asexual" is exactly the word she's looking for.

One meaning of the term asexual is somebody uninterested in romance, as opposed to a heterosexual or homosexual or bisexual or any of a long list. Another is a species that reproduces asexually. So you're both right.
No idea how one would interact with a Belt, though.

Yeah, except that my point is that the OP is using the word correctly. The fact that there's a secondary meaning (which I'm aware of, by the way) does not change the fact that the OP's usage was correct.

I'd turn an asexual character into a random gender. Roll a dice; if it's even, male, if it's odd, female. Congratulations, you can now have sex! :smallbiggrin:

:smalleek::smalleek::smalleek: I-I don't want to have my private bits anywhere near a griddle!

Also raises the question of how it would affect hermaphroditic creatures (plants, worms, various abberations).

Also, does an item or spell that makes one sterile prevent a pollen-based attack by a druid wildshaped into plant form?

The male and female parts switch places on their body?

Ha! brilliant.

Everyone else in the world would switch genders.

...That would actually have some pretty interesting implications.

So what happens to a changeling? Do they always become the opposite sex to what they're trying to become?

And 'sexless' is the word for my marriage, not a gender neutral race :smallwink:

I've always wondered how such a race would work.


Also, some people here seem to be confusing gender with sex.

Yeah, that would be because they have a synonymous meaning. People are, again, using the word perfectly correctly.
