Wrecker Oracle Curse...does it make your character perpetually naked?


Advice

Dark Archive

As the title says. I was wondering...does the wrecker oracle curse make your character perpetually naked? If so, how is this handled at tables with...younger...players? How do you stop this from detracting from the game? Any thoughts and information, thoughts and ideas about this would be appreciated.


I am curious how you came up with this interpretation, but I would say no.


Word from the devs is that it only affects things in your actual hands, and only things that would be adversely affected by the broken condition.

I see...that makes sense. What about armor/cloths, though. I assume that armor, since it can be effected by the broken condition would naturally become broken as soon as you touched it with your hands but every day cloths would not since giving broken to cloths doesn't actually do anything adverse to it?

You need to be dressed by your mum. Trust me underpants CAN be broken...and its NOT a good look !!

Armor would loose the broken condition as soon as it was no longer being touched by the hands as would anything else, if I remember the wording right.

However, you would be unable to write with a pen, you would be forced to either dip your entire finger in ink to make a crude mark on the paper, or prick your finger and write in blood.

"Broken" doesn't mean "disintegrated". A wrecker oracle's clothes are always disheveled and ripped, buttons missing, seams split open, zippers jammed, buckles broken, holes torn in, and hems fraying... but the oracle is still wearing them.

You could always wear a shroud. No stitches or moving parts doesn't leave much to "break".

If it's not in your hands, it's not broken.

Immediately upon leaving your hands, it is fine.


Sounds like a level of witch for prehensile hair or a few levels of alchemist to grow a tentacle is in order, or do those count as hands?


Clothing and armor are fine, and not broken.

Posting, again...

Effect

Held objects gain the broken condition when you use or equip them but regain their actual condition if employed by anyone else. If a held item is restored to unbroken condition, it becomes broken again the following round. Disable Device becomes a class skill for you and you can make Disable Device checks to destroy nonmagical traps as a move action without the need to use tools or take any action beyond simply touching it.

At 5th level, whenever you attempt to damage an object with a melee attack, reduce its hardness by an amount equal to your oracle level before determining the damage you deal with that attack.

At 10th level, any attacks you make against objects and constructs automatically bypass any damage reduction they may possess except epic.

At 15th level, whenever you are dealt damage by an attack with a manufactured weapon, you can require the weapon’s wielder to make a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 your oracle level + your Charisma modifier) to avoid having the weapon collapse into dust immediately after striking you (magical weapons receive an additional saving throw against this effect).

BBT, the section you quoted says anything you "use or equip" gains the broken condition, which seems to say that your clothes are NOT fine as soon as they leave your hands. Unless you don't think wearing clothes counts as "using or equipping" them.

It also says they "regain their actual condition if employed by anyone else". This would suggest that items don't fix themselves until somebody else tries to use them-- so you pick up your clothes and they "break", and they don't become fixed until somebody ELSE tries to wear them.


Still, again, 'broken' doesn't mean 'destroyed'. They'd be tattered, but they'd still be there, in sufficient quantity to maintain modesty.
