I get that it can be painful. it just seems like it would be less painful than an eternity on the lower planes. And I wouldn’t want to play a character that does that sort of thing, but that basically means I can’t play D&D without homebrewing a less dark cosmology. If you are playing it with the cosmology they give you, and you’re not careful to keep your enemies alive, then you’re doing stuff worse than this constantly.
This sort of thing always seem silly to me. Most of the people you kill go to the lower planes. What is ten minutes of suffocation compared to that?
Bro if you don’t get how painful suffocation can be just sympathetically I’m not sure I can explain why doing that to someone on purpose is so heinous
