[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 464930, member: 8439"] To follow up on my general forum post on DMs who insert "mature" themes such as torture and rape without allowing the PCs to prepare for them, a bit of brainstorming. In a world with magic, magic items, supernatural abilities, occasional psionics, extrordinary feats and insy teeny poison needle traps, what are the defenses an adventurer, traveling entertainer or well off NPC could be expected to have against "ehem" unwanted advances? A wide range of mundane, magical and poisoned 'dentatas' are a must of course (see Snow Crash, Theives World and military legends about vietnamese prostitutes.) How would they be statted, what damage could be done, what would be their detection or disable DCs? What feats or powers could a psion or psychic warrior use to encourage people to 'not even think about it'? (a Mark of Repulsion might be a radical step for a PC to take but one inflicted on whores by the vice squad or commoners who foolishly reject the king's advances.) could a variation of Detect Thoughts alert a character to the general emotional state with which they were being regarded? (such a spell could be a must for sneaking around, as well as letting the pretty bard know which guy not to accept a drink from.) In other news, could an extension of the Iron Will feat provide defenses against torture (make a concentration check to be aware of but emotionaly univolved in any physical or mental pain expereinced)? Any thoughts? Kahuna Burger [/QUOTE]
