I mean no offense by this, Bebo, but I cannot comprehend what you are trying to say. I think that it has something with the complete lack of punctuation and capitalization in your post.

Can you rephrase? If you can clarify, I'm sure that folks here can provide you some insight into whatever your difficulty may be.

We're getting a flood of new members. Please don't think of them all as trolls. Complaining about disable device is pretty innocuous.

Bebo, welcome! You'll find that you get a lot better response to your posts here if you don't use IM slang ("u" instead of "you.")

And in answer to your question, disable device is just fine. Think about it; either the DC is low enough that you'd be able to disable the device eventually (hopefully not setting it off in the process), or its high enough that you'd never be able to afffect it. Either way, you can't take 20 on a lot of disable device checks, because there would be a penalty for failure.
 

... but PKitty, how does Disable Device cause one to get one's throat slit?

I'll still appreciate a clarification. It certainly seems whatever the original poster is talking about is something he is vehement regarding.
 


<scratches his head and CUTS the initial posts up to analyze>
I believe he meant Disable the psionic power.

Though I don't understand his reference much. I think he meant.
1) disable the victim
2) coup de grace
3) repeat from 1

He felt that it is broken.
I don't think so. he must have forgotten that he can't affect higher than 5 HD. He must have also forgotten that it acts like the sleep spell.

So, coup de grace, fort save or die, saved, wake up. disabled again in the next round.

This post assumes that the target failed the save vs Disable. This post also assumes that the target succeeds the fort save.

so in response, No it isn't broken. The initial poster did not however state his level nor the level or hitdice of his opponents. So had he been targeting higher than 5levels or 5 HD, he is in error in using this tactic and his DM should be more careful and read the description of Disable in the Psionics handbook page 67.
