[QUOTE="Terry Edwards, post: 1765812, member: 10978"] I maim if it feels like the right thing to do. That is if it is theatrical and serves to hieghten a dramatic moment one of the PCs is likely to make a bodily donation. I do not discuss the possibility with players ahead of time, that would ruin a good surprise and it is usually not something I plan ahead of time. Spur of the moment dis-arming. Okay there was one time that I planned it... It was a plane hopping campaign and as a running gag I was trying to tack on as many templates as possible to one of the PCs. Long story short he got caught between two cubes on Acheron as he was diving into a tunnel in the center of one of the cubes. I had planned that anyone failing their reflex save would lose a limb to the collision, he rolled a 1 on the save and survived the death from massive damage Fort save so I took all of his limbs. However, they were there to visit the artificier that lived in the center of one of the cubes and he was kind enough to mechanize the PC as a favor. Too bad the campaign ended before I got him to the demon spawning grounds in the abyss. [/QUOTE]
