[QUOTE="ajanders, post: 1667454, member: 3271"] It is probably a very bad idea to bypass hit points from a mechanical standpoint. Take a look at the 5th level spell Telekinesis for a start, which moves people about and does damage. I'll think about this and get back tonight with a little more. Rogues (assuming your footpads are rogues) can use saps to make sneak attacks that do subdual damage. (It's in the sneak attack description). That's 1d6 + 1d6 to 2d6 subdual per successful attack. Sneak attacks can be set up either using the Bluff skill (with or without the Improved Feint feat) or, if you prefer to do it tactically, simply have two rogues flank the character destined for dreamland. If you're morally opposed to using rogues, Power Attack with a sap has some really interesting effects...but hitting can be a trick. That's it for the SRD. You could also go for an OGL version of the Merciful property from the Forgotten Realms and lay it on their weapons. See how easy that was? [/QUOTE]
