If I wrote a CRPG game, like an ASCII roguelike or something, I would totally include a spell that makes the target shit its pants. You could make that work, it would even be a useful thing in combat. Vampire lord misses a turn because he just shat his pants.
I homebrewed a cantrip that you could argue makes a target shit their pants just a little bit. Probably not more than a shart.
But, do vampires poop?
They do under your spell.
Yeah, and the shock, surprise and frankly the embarrassment that a mighty vampire lord would experience when shitting himself makes him miss a turn, also he probably becomes more vulnerable. If not physically then definitely emotionally.
I guess this would add some additional damage? Just imagine the horror of this happening for the first time in hundreds maybe thousands of years. There's nothing in you, that could actually provided the necessary.. "material". So where does it come from? And then the realization sets in: you're not alone. The fear, the feeling, the smell, the audience. This could kill someone! (٥・_・)
Imagine the emotional and physical damage of taking your first shit in thousands of years.
Shadow of the Demomlord has a spell from the forbidden Tradition called "Hateful Defecation" it simply kills anything with less than 10 max hitpoints and does some damage as you violently shit yourself.
