Pillory
Book of Vile Darkness 3.5
By Monte Cook
This wooden device, consisting of a frame with holes for the victim’s head and hands, is not a torture device in and of itself. A pillory is designed to confine and restrain a victim.
When the pillory is located in a public place, the the torturer, her minions, and even passing strangers can taunt, assault, and further humiliate the victim. Those who linger near the pillory commit acts ranging from simple degradation of the victim to outright physical harm. Each 8 hours of confinement typically deals 1d6 points of damage and allows one Intimidate check.
