A kick to the jimmy


3.5/d20/OGL


Just jokin' around with the boys night at the table, we've finally developed the greatest rules to ever be introduced to 3.5- the age old shot-to-the-nuts!

First of all, the target needs to be flatfooted (after a feint, for instance). Then it's just a straight shot to the jewels, automatically criticaling and rolling damage as normal. The poor sap must then pass a Fort save equal to damage dealt +10, just like a coup de grace. Failure means that the poor sap is a paralyzed heap of tears on the floor. Success means that there's a Will save to avoid being shaken and demoralized.

Lame and immature? Sure! But our group is really tired and thought we should post it. We laughed, it's all good


I like it! Do females and non-mammals get a bonus on their save to resist paralysis?


Target creature should get a +6 situation bonus to AC every male knows they need and how to protect "the jimmy" (never heard that before).

It may not hurt as bad as a guy, but for a chick it does hurt quite a bit when getting kicked in "the jimmy". Enough to make you see stars and take a deep breath.

*proud winner of a few kicking fights with my brother :D*

Worst thing I ever did was accidentally smack a friend in the face. On the same day she got braces. :O


Lilith -

What do you do where you can be up at this hour?
I mean for me its 12:30 in the afternoon - but I thought you were in Oregon. You must be quite the night owl.

My family and I are going back to the beautiful Pacific Northwest tonight!
We are laying over in Germany for a couple of days - then to the Oregon Coast!


What am I doing that I'm up this late? Gaming... duh. Session just ended at dawn.

The reason the target (aka "sucker") needs to be flat footed is because every guy learns how to cover those shots. Improved fient can spell disaster, however.

True story- a friend of mine pulled the whole "Hey, look over there" and then nailed my egg basket as hard as he could. At my Grad party no less... I was out for a loooong time. Everyone laughed and laughed, but I just curled up and wished to be dead. Being flat footed sucks.

On the weekends, I am very very much the night owl. I don't work on the weekends, so I pretty much goof off and plan for Sunday's game. Or play video games. Or work on my artwork. Or websites. Or something. :P I tend to be more creative in the wee hours of the morning.

Ahhh...the Oregon Coast in June & July. A gorgeous time of year - if you get to Newport, there's this fabulous fish & chips place downtown. I was able to pick up some fresh Dungeness crab for breakfast when me n' the hubby vacationed there. That, and he got his favorite dish evar that - halibut & chips. He's a halibut-lovin' fiend. The Rogue Brewery tour is good as well! Happy to see you're going to be enjoying our beautiful weather - it's been nicely warm during the day in the High Desert, but chilly at night. :P

Some friend you got there. Wait til he passes out somewhere and superglue his sack to his leg as a token of friendship.

I am kinda one of those "a head for an eye" guys. Screw Eye for an eye. Ramp up the Retaliatory Strike and you stop being the "Hey, look over there" guy. Maybe a 2x4 to the jewels, or a wine bottle to the groin will stop the Frat-boy junk.
People won't risk hitting you flat-footed if they know you'll go crazy with revenge. Fear is a great defensive tool.

FH (its all fun and games until someones orbital socket gets smashed)


Umm..dosen't most metal armor include a codpiece? That should reduce the pain somewhat. Of course taking a shot below the belt hurts even when wearing a cup, especially when it shifts.


Every male in the room should have to make a will save or be shaken ;) Nothing makes a guy more concious of his own assets than watching some one else take a hard shot to the rocks.


I would say a kick to the "Jane" for female characters would simply reduce the bonus damage to +2 or +3. Finally, the rules both myself and my group have been looking for for years. How else could one possible duplicate a rousing game of "Roschambeaux" (spelling is probably wrong, but I hope we all understand that it's the popular playground game where one kicks one's friend in the "jimmy", they do the same, etc. until one falls over)? Plus, we can all finally stop doing it in real life. And we're all happy about that.
