The only limit is the creativity of the executioner. Ultimately, you don't get to choose. Your carnifex does.

Well for the foot/heel nails there are a ton of options that were skipped. Footrests, nailing the feet side-saddle, and how high or low you nail the feet just off othe top of my head. For the wrists/hands, there is also the matter of rope, wooden washers, and nail type in addition to the exact position of the nailsWhat are the other options usually?

So, this style of cross would spread me fully open and I would put on a better show? I know what I want for my birthday next year.If the executioner puts you on the X-cross, it's easier to pee and you probably die faster. Also, they don't get to nail your wrists and then drag you to the stipes. Plus you don't have anything to carry to your execution (unless they make you carry the whole X-cross, but those are heavy). So it's a mercy, really!
