Does anyone have any ideas on playing a PC missing limbs? It seems on top of the fact that rules for limb severing are practically nonexistant, there seems to be no additional rules (that I can find) for playing a PC after being delimbed.
So I repeat, does anyone have any ideas for additional rules for PC's without some of their limbs?
It should just be self explanatory. IE, you cant wield anything. However, you could theoretically do things like swim, climb, and kick without arms. What seems to be appropriate penalties to such things? it would have to all inclusive
What I have so far
Players without Any arms cannot:
Wield anything
Cast spells or abilities that requires arms or hands
Use the following skills:
Climb
Craft
Disable Device
Forgery
Open Lock
Sleight of Hand
Use Magic Device
Use Rope
perform (if it involves arms)
Penalties to
Ride -4
intimidate -4
Players with only one arm receive the following penalties
only the remaining arm can wield items
Climb -4
Craft -4
Disable Device -4
Open Lock -6
Sleight of hand -4
Use magic device (if it requires 2 hands) -4
Use Rope -6
Intimidate -2
Players with no legs cannot
move faster than 10 ft while not wielding anything
Move faster than 5ft while wielding something (or having 1 arm as well)
jump
charge
perform (if it involves legs)
the following penalties
balance -2
climb -4
escape artist -2
intimidate -4
ride -2
swim -4
tumble -10
Are there any exotic weapons in the rules that are worn on the feet?
Any thoughts or ideas?
