OGC:Torture (3.5e Heal Skill Use)
Heal [Wis]
Torture
If you understand the body, you know how to maximize pain while inflicting minimal damage. Very few people have the strength to resist judicious physical torment.
Check: After 30 minutes, make a Heal check opposed by the victim’s Fortitude save. If you are successful, the victim will provide you with the information you have asked for, or perform a simple action (such as signing a confession). If the victim resists, he may say nothing or choose to pretend to be broken and lie to you. The later requires a successful Bluff check, opposed by your Sense Motive skill.
Retry: You may retry a failed attempt (assuming that you realize that you failed). However, unless you have access to cure spells, you will eventually have to stop or your victim will pass out or die. You cannot take 10 or 20 on a torture check.
Special: Regardless of success or failure, the victim will suffer 1d4 points of damage and 1d4 points of nonlethal damage from the torture.
