Silence and similar spells/effects/attacks
« on: July 14, 2010, 01:18:22 PM »
I'm wondering, other than the spell 'Silence', is there any other way to disrupt a person's voice? Something like throat punch or collapsing a lung, or even coughing or sneezing uncontrollably. I know deafening a person has a 20% chance to fail any vocal spell or command.

Thanks.

Be careful you don't choke on it, though.

Or sneeze.  The last thing you would want is the dust making you sneeze & choke.

Yeah, that would be stunningly uncomfortable, wouldn't it?

RealMarkP, on the off chance that you haven't figured out why we're being so weird, there's an item in the DMG called dust of sneezing and choking does what you want. ;)

I have it on good account that being Nauseated probably gets in the way of talking as well.

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

If they're cowering, they're not using their voice.  Fear.  Fear will keep the local systems in line them from talking.  Just get them to panicked and corner them.  There's a fear handbook somewhere on the boards (in the handbook section, I think first page even).

Oh, by the way, Fear also kinda rocks when you're not concerned about shutting your enemies' mouths.

Along the same lines of preventing them from doing anything useful, you could turn into a war troll and smack a fool upside the head.  Dazing Blow says "stay put and shut the hell up" pretty well... crummy duration, though.
