Peeing on Akatas...


Second Darkness


Ok, so I'm running a Second Darkness campaign and my players have come up with an amusing idea on fighting these things... pee on them.

Now, I know, the average person only has so much urine in their body and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to houserule this... I'm not sure where to go with this, ANY help would be appreciated. Any comments from Paizo staff would be praised as a word from god.


attacks of oppurtunity.. need I say more ?


Obviously a Dirty Trick (APG p. 320) ;)


wanders into thread and pees on something

Eww for the topic, and eww for me researching it :/

A bladder can hold about two cups *16 ounces* of urine.

Unhealthy bladders *that fill too quickly* can fill up as fast as 20 minutes.

More normal times are over the course of a few hours.

My suggestion? Let them make a pee attack, and then roll 1d100+20 for each of them. You can mimic 1d100 by rolling two d10's and designating one as the tens digit and one as the ones digit.

This will give you a range between 21 minutes and two hours for each person, which seems reasonable for folks who are chugging water to boost their dps.

Peeing should be a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity :p


I doubt that urine contains as much salt as sea water as well, unless there's something seriously wrong with you. Due to that I think that Dirty Trick is the way to go, where the possible conditions are blinded, dazzled, shaken, and obviously sickened.

well standard action if they're running around without pants/pants around ankles. Full round if they have to drop them. Unless they remove their pants they're going to be able to move 5' and need to make a balance check or fall prone. Oh and Attacks of Opportunity all around

Also ... think they take damage from salt water

If one of them is a cleric or paladin, consider it holy water...

I do not... approve.

I'm all for players coming up with inventive means to deal with problems, but this is just silly. Urine does not equal salt water. It has too many other elements in it to be considered such.

I'd have the first akata attacked in such a way be surprised, then angry, then perhaps make a bite attack at the offending PCs nethers. After the combat, I might be nice enough to suggest that since the party is on an island surrounded by the ocean they might want to check other avenues for makeshift weapons to use against the akatas.


O,o?

No Comment.. at least that I could share in polite company...

Yeah...

Pee is not the same as salt water. Pee therefore has no particular effect on an akata except to perhaps humiliate it and make it angry.


What's the bluff check to try and tell him it's raining?

Well, you can use the pee to express your dominance of the pack :P Of akatas :p

Unless the akata is secretly into that sort of thing and would actually pay extra for it...

Wait, so now we have a humiliated status?

I was so hoping that the thread title contained a spelling error ...
