Grabbing and Holding, Executioner Style

[hemera]

I'm looking to play an Executioner, and I'm wondering what do I need to do to make sure I have a good chance at holding on to my target when using garrote strangle or hidden stab? Should I be boosting strength as my secondary attribute?

Thank you in advance,

High fortitude and High reflex, as that's what the athletics or acrobatics rolls to escape will be made against.

The book suggests Charisma as an attribute, but I think that's more of a tertiary stat for combat purposes. You'll want to buff Constitution for them Fortitude checks. Strength won't be as important for you.

Constitution it is! And that will help keep my poor striker butt alive too

Thanks again!
