Torture




Thor Jarle


I have read the Kult book troughout, and I haven't found anything about a skill called Torture! Isn't that a skill who is relevant in a RPG like Kult. If it is in the book, please let me know what page, or if it isn't, how do you do "Torture"?

The skill "torture" isn't about how you torture, but how much info you gain by torturing...

If you roll a dice and the effect is 1 or 2, you might get his social security number. With an effect of, let's say 18, you get the whole story 'bout the Archons plan to infect La Vegas with radiation in order to stop Golab from...and so on.

Why do you need rules for that? These are the only rules you need

1, There are no rules

2, The GM is ALWAYS right

3, If the GM isn't right, see rule number 2

There are no rules set out for the use of torture in any of the books. So no, you have not missed anything. As far as its use in the game goes this is very much up to the GM. If it is the players being tortured, then rolls against their CON or EGO might be appropriate. The description of what is happening to the character may suffice as well. No player wants to hear that the bad guy is slowly dissecting them. The same rolls could be made for NPCs but the story itself that you are running should be the main guide here. If you do not want the players to get any information from someone they have captured, then they cannot make him talk no matter what they try. If some piece of information should get to the players, then you can use the die rolls or, roleplay out the interrogation and torture before passing on the information. A note on Terror. Being tortured is a +5 Terror Roll. In following with the other listings that require players to make rolls if they are the instigators and not just the recipients, players should be made to make a Terror roll at at least +5 to actually torture someone. 1
