Peeing Special Ability, Serious Question


Product Discussion

Jon Brazer Enterprises

Those of you that will remember my Poop Toss, Serious Question thread will know that this is a totally serious question.

I have a monster that peeing on a target makes total sense. My question: what do I call it? Specifically what can I call it and so I can publish it that I won't get in trouble with mothers and Paizo?

Thoughts please? Thanks in advance.


that is a toughie, there.

looks to latin and other words used in science.

Some sort of variation on "marking your territory"?

Jon Brazer Enterprises

Possibly. This is an attack. Touch attack causes distraction for X rounds and all creatures attempting to detect it via scent gain a +20 for X days. I'm debating as to whether it also deals acid damage.

Dreamscarred Press

Ah... Hrm...

You could just go with Uric then. Uric acid being the end product that's excreted in urine (for humans and some other animals, at least.)


if it pees acid (thus is an attack) I would just call it "acid release"

This is a dirty trick maneuver if I have ever heard one. :-)

"diprotic spray"?
Uric acid is a diprotic acid.

I like "uric spray" but how do I describe it such that it is obvious that I am saying "It pees on its target" and still be "PFRPG-kosher" (to modify the Hebrew word).


isnt there an attack in narato that kiba uses called dynamic marking were his dog pees on a target and can track it untill it is washed off.

"After in ingesting so much rotted food in a day, Monster XX relinquishes it's bladder on its enemies in a horrific spray attack.”?

Is it just an attack or does it serve some other purpose as well? In other words, is the creature marking the target to aid in tracking it if it flees or for some other reason than just to distract the target (and I assume to snicker at the sputtering foe)?


"uric spray" is good.

"micturiting spray" is a bit more medical. Or you could just give the monster an ability called "Micturition."

I'm seriously laughing at this thread!

"Bladder release" has a nice ring to it.

"Golden spray"?

Some variation on the ole "Splash attack"?

I'd call it an opening for a very special attack of opportunity.

Micturition is a commonly used medical term.

As a side note, in one of my campaigns, a player was RPing his 6 Int, 7 Wis Barbarian who thought he was a Druid. His version of Augury was "throw a rock" and his version of Bless was "pee on it"

Nearly ten years ago, during one of my first forays into GMing D&D 3.5, I ran a short mini-campaign in the Forgotten Realms. Two of the party members, a cleric of Tempus and a half-ogre barbarian, devised a, let's say, innovative method of getting rid of undead.

They found themselves stuck in a chamber full of wights and were running low on spells and hp. However, the cleric still had a few bless waters prepared... and the barbarian had drunk an entire keg of ale on his own prior to the start of the adventure. He suggested that the cleric bless his "water", as it were. After the requisite facepalm, the player of the cleric assented, laying hands on the half-ogre (we figured Tempus wasn't squeamish enough of a deity to care what sort of water his clerics blessed so long as they got the job done). I consulted a few Wikipedia articles and came to the conclusion that the half-ogre's bladder capacity was equivalent to X number of flasks, but it was a bit more difficult to determine what sort of action urinating whilst turning in a circle would come out to, not to mention how many rounds the, er, process would last/take. (I did rule that it was a ranged touch attack, however.)

I wrote a letter to Sage Advice about all this, too, but I never got an answer back. I wonder why.

Sounds to me like your campaign is more suited to F.A.T.A.L. than to Pathfinder.


No, if we were playing FATAL, I'd have to roll on some wacko d1000 table to determine the precise splash direction of the sanctified urine.
