: Re: Can my character specialize in torture ; but physically be not that strong? My question is, is this even realistic? She's a woman in her early twenties who specializes in torture, only working

As Many others have already said, physical strength only is required if you are talking about beating someone with their bare hands.

There is a whole realm to torture that also is not tied to physical aspects. Emotional torture is a very strong weapon. Chinese Water Drop has been proven to be highly effective at making people crack within hours. You already have half the job done by having them strapped. It just takes a source of water to slowly drop water onto their face for a few hours and boom no physical stamina required.

Also torture is a slow and painful process. It isn't something at 200% for 4 hours. It's applying JUST enough and walking away, leaving them on the edge of pain without fully killing them or making them break. Please look up Edge Play for more details (will not provide a link as this runs into the BDSM world) for ways that it is done in a controlled environment.

Also look up sadistic mentalities to help you with the mindset. Knowing just how far you can push a finger to make it painful to no end without actually breaking the finger (to keep hurting it until you decide to break it).

Torture isn't torture if you just walk up to someone, break their finger and then say okay you can go. Torture is a psychological element induced by mental and physical attacks over a prolonged period of time.

She can walk in spend 5 minutes with the victim and walk out to rest up again and come back every few hours and still have just as big of an impact of someone who spends 20 minutes straight beating someone.

Hope this helps!
