under the rules for using the garrote it says that if you succeed with the grapple check the opponent is considered grappled.
in the case of the locking garrote does this mean the rogue can step back and start sneak attacking?
this makes sense to me because as long as the opponent is trying to get that thing off their neck they aren't going to be much good at defending against well placed strikes
if your friend is grappling them you can sneak attack at will, so why not if your garrote is grappling them?
another question. what about if you're already grappling someone and then try to garrote them? what are the rules for that?
does the locking variation of the garrote add your str bonus to damage every round after you've let go?
thanks for the answers guys
