But you'd have such a high save that the pain wouldn't bother you.

Sounds like their torturers aren't very skilled if your high constitution is the only thing keeping you alive. A skilled torturers could keep almost anyone alive through the torture.

Having a victim think that they will die during the torture only makes it easier for that victim to resist.

Ran with a 20 (18 base, +2 from racial) CON Barbarian at 1st level in a PF game where we were all playing pirates. After I survived three consecutive keelhauls, the majority of the pirate crew looked at me like I was some sort of demigod.

d20s though - every 20th~ time a torturer tries to torture someone they accidentally torture themselves instead.

There is a pretty non-negligible chance of losing to the int 8 village idiot. It's not high but it's not unlikely enough to be discounted either.

Sounds like these torturers are extremely unskilled.

>it's another 1 must mean ridiculous LULZ FAILURE!
I hate modern D&D and faggots such as yourself.

>>55117750
>int 8 village idiot
INT 8 is not nearly stupid enough to be merely dull, let alone remarkably idiotic. Overtly noticeable mental dysfunction starts at INT 3, and that takes a rather unlucky roll to begin with.
>but INT 3 is dumber than a literal housecat!
INT 3 human != INT 3 animal, and even INT 3 humans are capable of relatively independent living. Besides, long-term intellectual disability should be modelled as a persistent nonmagical disease, "curse" or maybe even loss of limb.

It's worse for executioners.

THAT IVE JUST FOUND

>>55117972
A natural 1 does nothing. You just don't succeed. A critfail is a houserule that stupid people use.

Also in a scenario like this a torturer could take a 10 as it's a routine activity with no penalty for failure (failing doesn't set a prisoner free or anything)

D20 might be a better system to you if you read the rules
>>
>>55118383
>nat 1 to torture
>the victim immediately cums, passes out from exhaustion and then dies with a stupid grin on his face
>>
>>55118383

yeah but if they take 10 then they won't be able to overcome the save - really what happens is that you should never need to torture someone more than 20 times because a natural 20 is an automatic success.

Which honestly doesn't seem too wacky - let's say a daily session of torture, that's 4 weeks of torture, barely a week if there's thrice daily torture sessions and a reasonable distribution of die results.

4d6 b3 for a game.

Roll 12, 11, 11, 7, 5, 5

Dm does not allow a reroll. Forced to play the parties shitty side kick.

Everyone else rolled an 18 for at least one of their skills.

Played a severely crippled wizard who isn't even bright.

>>55117839
Literal housecats are Int 2. Sapience is defined as anything 3 or higher, below that is animal intelligence.
>>
>>55119724
Next time slap your gm with the part of the book it says that if you have a cumulative stat modifier in the negatives you reroll.

Just suicide yourself in the first encounter. It's easy.

You know, there was actually a scene like this in some Captain Alatriste novel.

>Alatriste has to torture some fucker for information.
>Sits down with him at a table in a dark room.
>Takes the lit candle that's the only illumination in that room.
>Takes it to the guy.
>Proceeds to pour the hot wax on his own arm.
>Doesn't even twitch.
>"If I can do that to myself without even reacting, imagine what I'll do to you".
>Guy starts spilling the beans.
