Bestow Curse question

[Thane36425]

Suppose a part needs to hold some prisoners for a while and perhaps transport them. Physical restraint isn't really an issue, but noise is. Gags might work by came come loose and prisoners still need to be fed and watered (assuming the party isn't evil). Could Bestow Curse be used to render a prisoner mute? The 3.5 Book of Vile Darkness had a list of other uses for Bestow Curse than those listed in the spell description and they all seemed more potent than merely removing speech.

Sure.

I would simply use a DM call to whip up a modified version of Blindness/Deafness that has the ability to mute a person (with a will save of course).

[Oliver McShade]

Blindness and Deafness is a 3nd level spell.

Bestow Curse is also a 3rd level spell, So i see no reason you can not use it to make someone mute.

So sure.

I would allow it.

Thanks all. This is a situation the party hasn't faced before and I think we've covered all the bases. Muting them will make things easier.
