maybe just applying a new use for sunder to target arms and legs? Following the Hydras example for each limbs HP and how that relates to you total HP. would anyone consider one or two new levels of health? Right now we have Alive, dying, and dead. how about Fine, Injured, dying, dead? How...

My absurd examples were kinda intended to be absurd. I think we all understand how mage hand works. But just like the description of mage hand does not need to cover every possible use and restriction of the spell, when putting more detail into injury one does not need to put into consideration...

The Major gods could be very cruel, seeing as how the only supernatural powers in the world would be ether evil or chaotic. Maybe a monotheistic world? Maybe no god, but any group of people that can shoot black stuff from their hands is bound to have some type of religious thing about...

If a monks unarmed attacks are treated as a natural weapon then does that grant them access to the thayen gladiator prestige? Or would the wording of "treated" vs "considered" come into play?

Not the point. The description only describes the weight of the object you can pick up, It does not state that the force of mage hand is only 5 pounds of force. Its the concept of the spell that is used, the spirit of the rule. the idea, not the literal wording, the literal wording is a guide...

Consider then, pushing knights in full plate around with a rock. The rules state a limit to the weight to the object being lifted, but not the amount of force moving the object.

You don't purchase hookers, you rent them. purchasing a hooker can only lead to disaster.

According to SRD, One nonmagical, unattended object weighing up to 5 lb. You point your finger at an object and can lift it and move it at will from a distance. As a move action, you can propel the object as far as 15 feet in any direction, though the spell ends if the distance between you...

Only if one could also mage hand a cerebral cortex.

that is kinda odd, but I suppose dex or speed reduction is appropriate with the loss of a appendage.

Following the hydras example, each limb would have the full total on the creatures HP divided by the number of those limbs? each arm and leg having half your HP and your head having full. Damage to the limb only doing have damage to the total HP? I'm not aware of any Wotc guide lines for...

I do Like this. I know that my initial post is complicated, Im asking for more simplistic approaches, while still giving the PC the power to directly effect the area he wants without slowing down combat much. I didn't think that disabling a limb until healing is applied to be that bad. I think...

Keeping track of stuff like the numerical values of the plethora of skills, hit points, both lethal and non lethal damage, at least 20 combat modifiers, 6 stats and their corresponding Modifiers, the modifiers effects on EVERYTHING, ability drain, BA, damage, Levels, level drain, exp, exp...

I can't believe I forgot about cancer when considering ways to make combat slightly more dynamic. And really, it only makes sense, If one wants more defining consequences to being hit in the face by a monster a big as a car then one must also consider the long term effects of chronic...

Well, how would you implement the option to cripple a limb? would you at all, if not, why?

My spelling and grammar is HORRIBLE, I'm sorry.

I understand that the generalized HP system helps keep Combat at a fast pace, but its always bothered me just a little. Every one who played at being knights as kids know that when you get hit in the arm with wooden sword then you've obviously just got your arm violently hacked off, so you cant...

Looking for general, not too complicated? just race/class/alignment specifics? If your DM lets you decide where every skill point goes then you can make some very ridiculous things. but I've never had a DM and simply "let me" XD Dunno what role you want. here is a few ideas that I've played...

Well things with with higher hardness and hp are harder to break. Manacles > Hemp Every enhancement bonus increases hardness by 2 and hp by 10, but nothing is covered about it that I can find.

Cant make things out of special metals that are not metal, so rope and adamantine don't mix. But what i want to know is how would that 20 hardness and 40 HP would affect its break DC
