Immunity to coup

[Venser]

Hello :)

So, I was checking Death Delver class, heroes of horror, and he is immune to coup the grace. How do you exactly roleplay this?

For example, someone wants to coup me and he wants to cut my head off, but he can't coup me because my immunity says so. What happens? Does his axe get stuck in my neck or he just can't cut my head off or what?

All it really does is let you automatically make the Fortitude save against instant death. The attacker still scores the automatic critical, and if that damage is sufficient to kill you you still die. So the roleplay, IMO, is basically the same as when anybody else survives a coup de grace attempt. (Which is to say, largely nonsensical unless you're being couped by a completely unsuited weapon/enemy.)

You would take the critical hit damage and not have to make a save or die check. RPing an unsuccessful coup works the same as RPing a successful one, use whatever words you like to describe the effect. :smallbiggrin:
