Tickling In Combat

[Umbran]

To be fair, the post did specifically mention bare feet, so armor wouldn't be an issue.

But the leathery soles that one would develop constantly walking around barefoot would be. Modern humans have soft, ticklish feet because of shoes.

Call me crazy but it is possible to use tickling in combat? For example a LG human monk tries to kick a NE female elf rogue with his barefeet but she grab his foot and tickle his foot with a feather.

Sure it is possible to use "Tickle" as an attack. The NightGaunt in Call of Cthulhu (all versions including d20) uses tickling as a method to incapacitate it's victims. First the Nightgaunt grapples the victim and then it uses it's tickle attack which forces a victim to make a Will save (DC 15, +1/round). If the vicitm fails the victim is helpless. The Nightgaunt's tail (which does the tickling) will work no matter what the victim is wearing.

I've found tickling actualy boosts my strength, having broken several things while being held down and tickled. So, I don't think it's a wise idea to try it in combat.

Nice job, Gamecat! I like your feather devil!

I just thought of something, I wonder if there a god of tickling?

 

[Bartmanhomer]

Never mind.

The second post in this thread (conveniently enough, with the same OP) has a link to a good article with information about tickling. Some parts not grandma-friendly, if this would offend you, read the quote tag in the second post (he didn't include that part of the article).
