The Capacity of a Drunken Brute?


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

...is there any limit to the amount of alcohol a Drunken Brute can swill?

Theoretically he could maintain a rage all day by swigging every round with the Accelerated Drinker trait.

(True: he might have to wear a catheter; but nonetheless....)

Drunkenness: "In general, a character can consume a number of alcoholic beverages equal to 1 plus double his Constitution modifier before being sickened for 1 hour equal to the number of drinks above this maximum. Particularly exotic or strong forms of alcohol might be treated as normal drugs. Those who regularly abuse alcohol might eventually develop a moderate addiction."


Have a player planning this trick. Possible problem - the drunken brute's ability specifically says the alcohol adds the rage instead of other affects - which would include negative effects from drug rules. Add a ring of sustenance and the character can spend 2 hours sleeping and sick, and the other 22 in a drunken rage.


Maybe it's limited to the amount of alcohol the drunken brute can carry?


Which is where the bag of holding with a sippy straw comes in.

I believe there is a horn or something that can provide unlimited alcohol. If not, you could always change the decanter of endless water to be the decanter of endless beer, subject to GM approval.


takes a move action every round to drink, wouldn't that slow the character down? You only regain 1 round of rage per drink at 1 drink per round and spending actions to do this so i don't know what the problem would be except past a certain point its unrealistic and you couldn't say "stockpile" rage rounds ahead of time either.


Why do you need the accelerated drinker trait? Doesn't drunken brute already have the ability to drink as a move action while raging?

My drunken brute invulnerable rager would have totally strapped one of those to his head.
