[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7846262, member: 7015476"] Because realistically things are sometimes gory. And it keeps tension high in some cases used properly. Which is something you want to generate if your pcs are currently in a ver hostile environment like the abyss. Or a suddenly hostile environment. Such as when everything seems normal but then u find the discarded partially assimilated victim of a "thing" (ala john carpenter) in a normal seeming sleepy mountain village. Fun for both. It enhances the realism and the horror. The trick is not to use too much too often and to make it USUALLY make sense either immediately or later (although something never quite getting explained once or thrice in a long campaign is acceptable if the campaign is very mysterious). The stab of fear is only able to he generated if you ration these things or tie them dorectly to how deep of a pool of naughty word the pcs have yet to realize they just waded into. All is not well in essex county. Also yes. Medically precise. Some forms of torture are highly enough advanced that when performed by a professional (even ancient ones) they entailed a fair bit of medical understanding for fine tuning and getting the job done properly.
