There are basically three things you could do with this collar:1) Attempt to remove it (either through Disable Device or Open Lock). This is considered tampering with it. You could hide your handiwork so that it appears "locked" but in fact would come right off (e.g. Chewbacca's manacles).2) Disable the paralytic effect. This is also tampering with it.3) Disable the explosive effect. Again, tampering with it.The explosive charge is designed to blow your head off without causing any collateral damage. So it would definitely be useful to blow a door or lock, like a shaped charge. It would not be particularly useful as a thrown weapon, although you might be able to jury-rig it into some kind of grenade if you had some sort of "operational" bits to combine with the explosive (ie, shrapnel). Unless I'm mistaken, nobody in the group is big on demolitions, so I think you should confine yourself to just getting the damn thing off without killing anybody.Assuming that's what you want to do. I've tried to answer all your questions but I'm not trying to push you towards one decision or another.To play Devil's Advocate along with Joshua, despite the fact that you still have explosive collars on your freakin' heads, you have come a long way beyond merely slaves. Again, not to push you in one direction or another (just playing along because it's fun):What would happen if someone with a really good Bluff threatened to pull his collar off and blow his or her own head off? You think Sil'saar would blink?That reminds me, Bill still has a collar on... Hm.</blockquote>
