Hello,
My character is a stealthy type and I was interested in a variety of silent non-gunpowder related ways to incapacitate foes. I've been considering drugs, tranqs and other means - but the garrote seems like a good way to go too if one doesn't particularly care about lethality. The way I figure it, garotte + surprise = silent kill; which is the best kind. But I couldn't find any rules regarding garottes in the core rule book. Anyone have any suggestions on the system to use? I figure I'd need to pick up Exotic Melee Weapon - Garotte in order to use it properly. But then what are the rules of DV? Or would it just be like drowning (a little more traumatic than that, I'd imagine... What if it was a razor'd garotte instead of a normal strangulation one?, etc.) Just thought I'd throw it out there... Thanks, Aemon |
