Typically fashioned from a strand of spun durasteel, a garrote is designed to crush the target’s throat and prevent breathing. A garrote requires two hands to use, and any attack made with the garrote is treated as a grab attack. Bonuses granted by talents and feats apply to the grab attack as though it was a garrote attack; for example, a character with the Weapon Focus (garrote) feat gains a +1 bonus on grab attacks made with the garrote.
The effects of a garrote are felt on the target’s turn. At the beginning of the grabbed target’s turn, before it can take any actions, the target takes damage from the garrote and moves −1 step along the condition track. The target also suffers the normal effects of a grab. The target may attempt to break the grab, as normal.
