[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

I wonder if there is a way to deal pure Pain Damage, instead of straight damage to generate it or using Lethal Damage. Or, if you have made someone unconscious without inflicting damage, its possible to lethally kill them with regular moves.

Well, there's Pain Split.  We saw that already, even.

Certain other Psychic and Ghost type moves might be able to do something similar due to their supernatural powers, but that'd be up to GM discretion since Pain Split is the only move listed in the book as being able to inflict additional pain without dealing damage.

You could probably also sraight up roleplay something like that scenario. Granted, it would probably involve grappling and suffocating the target...
