The Swallow Whole ability

[Kunimatyu]

I'm going to co-opt this for True20, and say that when a creature fails its Toughness badly enough to be Wounded, on the round it loses actions due to being stunned, it's barfing you up.

Should a barfed PC be considered prone after they exit the creature's mouth and hit the floor?

Yes, and you are barfed up bereft of your weapon, shield, or familiar. The next round the creature vomits those at you like deadly, smelly projectiles.

And you get the effect of a nonmagical equivalent to Troglodyte Odor. Let's call it BARF SMELL^TM duration until you bathe!

Oh it is still pretty dumb . I too prefer "do X damage to induce regurgitation" idea. I do prefer a setting where a hole to the stomach leads to an increadably slow painful death.

As do I, but I think most of the time the thing that swallows the guy ends up dead anyway... or the party kills it and cuts him out.

I remember having a similar discussion with some friends when the Mutation rules came out for Shadowrun (I think in the original CalFree State book). I wasn't so sure I bought the idea of creatures who were exposed to massive doses of radiation becoming faster, smarter, bigger and meaner. I was more a fan of the "all their hair falls out and they die" school of thought.

Though when running a combat with my skeletal dinosaurs, I did let the T-Rex keep his Swallow Whole ability, even though it was against the rules. But it was funny, it'd bite down on someone, scoop them up, and they'd tumble out the bottom of the skull and go right back to attacking. Good times.
