Your appearance elicits desire in all creatures, no matter how they try to conceal it. This can desire can be physical or social as the situation and creature warrants. Foes gain a +2 attack bonus when they try to deal nonlethal damage to you with physical attacks (instead of the normal -4 penalty) and you suffer a -2 penalty on CMD. Your provocative nature gives you a bonus to Diplomacy checks equal to the curse's level (minimum +1). If you suddenly abandon the target, rudely ignore the target's advances, or fail your very first Diplomacy check against a particular creature, the target of the check feels spurned and its attitude changes to unfriendly (an already unfriendly target becomes hostile). This attitude change only affects you, not any companions. This is instead of the normal consequence of failing an attempt to improve attitude by 5.

At 5th level, a Diplomacy check made to change a target’s attitude toward you lasts one day for every hour you spend socializing with the creature.

At 10th level, as a full-round action you can make a Diplomacy check to influence a single adjacent creature’s attitude with a -10 penalty.

At 15th level, a Diplomacy check you made to change a target’s attitude toward you lasts forever. The creatures attitude can still change due to circumstances, but mere time and distance has no effect.
