Comments on: A Broken Mind: Sanity and Mental Disorders… for Pathfinder Roleplaying Game (Part 1) http://www.koboldpress.com/k/front-page2488.php Monsters and Magic for D&D Gamers Sat, 18 May 2013 05:25:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: mxyzplk http://www.koboldpress.com/k/front-page2488.php#comment-3103 mxyzplk Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:06:03 +0000 http://www.koboldquarterly.com/k/?p=2488#comment-3103 Oh, and I really like the “Atrocity” hits and think in a D&D campaign where people say “monsters, whatever” this is the real place to focus. I think it should be expanded a lot – I notice there’s “witness a murder” or “get tortured” but frankly PCs tend to commit murder and/or torture, it’s great to hit them with SAN loss for it.

I like the CoC-derived kind of Sanity mechanic for D&D, and have been known to use it myself.

Two comments – one, I think the SAN hits are a little high (esp. comparing to actual Mythos creatures in d20 CoC…) and I’d tend to bump them down a die size. Two, which isn’t the fault of the article, is that creature types are used in extremely inconsistent ways. Heck, the new shoggoth in the Pathfinder Bestiary is an ooze, while the delicious-with-butter reefclaw is an aberration.
