| Description = A garrote is a vicious weapon that requires a clear shot at a vulnerable point. In order for you to use a garrote, your opponent must be helpless or unaware of you. You must make a grapple check (though you do not suffer the -4 penalty for not having two hands free) to successfully begin garroting your opponent. Despite being a two-handed weapon (and granting 1.5 times your Str to its damage) the garrote is treated as a light weapon and may be used to make attacks during a grapple. Precision damage may not be added to a garrote's damage (though Rogues still do half their sneak attack damage, because they cheat). Enemies with concealment may still be targeted with a garrote attack. | |||
Each round you control the grapple, instead of the damage action, you choke your opponent, cutting off your target's air supply so he has to hold his breath (see [[Environmental_Effects#Suffocation|Suffocation]] for additional information). Any round you do not maintain the choke, your opponent can take a breath and restarts when he has to begin making Constitution checks. You may continue to grapple while using a garrote until your foe dies, falls unconscious or wins control of the grapple. If you lose control of a grapple while using a garrote, the garrote is considered broken and may not be used again until repaired. | Each round you control the grapple, instead of the damage action, you choke your opponent, cutting off your target's air supply so he has to hold his breath (see [[Environmental_Effects#Suffocation|Suffocation]] for additional information).

Your garroted opponent must make a concentration check (DC: your CMB + level of the spell he's casting) to cast a spell with a verbal component, use a command word item, or use any ability requiring speech. A garroted opponent may not make any sound with his mouth, assuming the garrote is around the neck. | Your garroted opponent must make a concentration check (DC: 10 + your CMB + level of the spell he's casting) to cast a spell with a verbal component, use a command word item, or use any ability requiring speech.
