[QUOTE="Trellian, post: 60038, member: 1843"] IMO, you cannot get an attack of opportunity if you do not know you get that opportunity... poorly worded I guess.. but anyway... garrotes and strangling in general should result in Con damage, not hp damage... it is sort of like a weasels bite, it hangs on and sucks the blood out of the victim... hence the con drain.. a garrotte ruins the victims ability to breathe, and should IMO also drain his con... but maybe it would make the weapon kind of powerful... I dunno. sneak attack? well of course... its a weapon right? I haven't studied the rules, so I'm just speaking out of my mind right now.. but you can't have con drain and sneak attack... hmm.. as for the proficiency debate, I agree.. see the covered hand crossbow? all it does changes from the normal hand crossbow is the fact that its always loaded.. but you still need another proficiency to use it without -4 penalty...
