Re: [HOE] Maze Dragons and other big critters [Possible Spoilers]

["Michael Maguire" <mikejmaguire@hotmail.com>]

I'm not familiar with Deadlands D20 (I'm too big a fan of the Classic system 
to change), but my group and I do play D&D 3E with the d20 system.  As far 
as I can recall, cutting your way out of ANY creature with the swallow whole 
ability always requires that you do 20 points of damage.  It sounds to me 
like they just stuck to the rules unmodified (not uncommon for any d20 
product - not changing the rules is the easiest and most straightforward way 
to work, after all).

As for it not being a wound, the D&D 3E rules always make mention of how 
"the wound will close over again, so that anyone else swallowed has to cut 
their own way out.  So in response to your question, I would say the posse 
member manages to cut enough of an opening to squeeze his/her way out and 
then the critters stomach contracts to close the injury - hence the lack of 
an actual "wound".

Hope this helps in some way.

Michael

I was looking over the rules for getting swallowed by
a big animal. And it came to me, if an animal with a
size of 24, say a large Maze Dragon, were to swallow a
posse member. The poor brainer would then recieve a
lot of damage for being in it's stomach. However, it
says that you may cut yourself out by causing over 20
damage with any weapon. Is this info correct? That's
no even a wound on a critter with a size above 20. It
therefore does not make sense that a posse member
would be able to crawl out of a hole which is not even
big enough to be a wound. If a human being can get
through a hole that's not a wound, how big will the
friggin' wound be????
