When do you use Save vs Pain
Other than the few instances listed in places like Mystic China, when do you require a saving throw vs pain to be rolled? Me, I like them for fairly damaging attacks (20+ in one hit), attacks to the groin, torture, and a few other odds and ends.
Okay, don't laugh at this.....
It wasn't for passing out/unconsciousness, but a couple of PCs that didn't have horsemanship had to ride horses (needed a lot of help to get on them). The next morning, I had them roll save vs pain to see if they could get back on the horse or if they simply couldn't face the idea and walked instead.

Now that has got to suck, but at least it wasn't as bad as what happened to one of my characters last night. I was going for a simple Basic Match roll to see if my character could figure out the actual pay rate for a mission (including travel times, distance, logistics, etc) and rolled 00.Zylo wrote:I used that save to resist torture, which backfired when one player wanted their character to pass out under torture to stop the breaking of fingers but made their save.
