I dunno why, but trying to think of a practical use for this randomly made me think of an old flash game that involved a part where the character is fighting a lesbian ghost, and if you select the wrong choice the ghost possesses you, causing the main character to become gay, which makes him decide to unalive himself. So, maybe it could be useful against some homophobic bandits or something?

You’re either born quadruple gay, or you longingly wish you were. There’s no shortcuts

Unless the DM is fucking stupid, and allows bards powers they shouldn’t have, this would make it possible to seduce someone that would otherwise not be attracted to you. That’s about it in terms of practical use.

I would rule that if you’re actually making them gay, they’re fully gay, so there wouldn’t be anyone upset about being gay within the duration of the spell. They might be upset at related problems, like a partner that made a saving throw now being incompatible, but not because they’re suddenly attracted to people of the same sex and/or gender.

Now, if the spell had been written so that all it changed was that they were now attracted to a different gender or sex, they might be distressed. And as written, they might be upset at the potential fallout of now being gay, but not the fact of being gay itself.

Side note: lemmy doesn’t tend to censor the word suicide, or kill themselves. It’s okay to use actual terms if you want. Not saying you have to, just that it’s allowed.

You unleash a blast of gay vibes in a 60 foot radius centered on you

That is so me.

I thought the text of that post was a new anime

“Even Though I am the Lowest-Level Wizard, No One Can Withstand My Unique Special Attack!!”

I mean… the Pentagon did try to develop a “queer blast” once…

What if you’re double gay for unrelated reasons before they cast the spell?

Practical use: if you didn’t know other characters’ or NPCs’ sexual orientation before (and couldn’t just ask them and trust the answer for some reason), you could find it out by casting the spell and checking for rainbow eyes.

Side note: lemmy doesn’t tend to censor the word suicide, or kill themselves. It’s okay to use actual terms if you want. Not saying you have to, just that it’s allowed.

I would go so far as to say you should use the actual terms, in order to counter the societal chilling effect of the other platforms’ censorship.

Suddenly your Paladin’s eyes turn to rainbows and a lot of their actions and comments make so much more sense.

A 250gp rainbow crystal spell component is a bit pricey, maybe there’s a queer touch spell that’s cheaper to cast. =3

So if they’re bi they get the rainbow eyes while also being attracted to the opposite gender?

This feels like a setup for a comic like

Villain: casts this spell. “You fools! You’re now too gay to defeat me! Cower before my mighty hetero–”

Gay fighter stabs villain

Double gay ranger shoots him with an arrow.

Pause for a beat

Party: “So pride is this weekend you want to go to the beach?”

Like, the spell had no impact on their combat prowess and the bigot thought it would.

You become triple gay. The gay stacks are additive, not multiplicative.
