[QUOTE="Kalshane, post: 6781337, member: 9505"] I don't think there needs to be a separate system beyond what's already in the rules. As others have said, if you make it too difficult to knock someone out (and having a risk of accidentally killing them falls into this category) no one will ever attempt it. If you make it too easy, then it becomes the solution to any combat. (ie Knock them out and then slit their throat while they're unconscious.) If the PCs are involved in an infiltration scenario with a bunch of low-level guards that they can kill in one or two hits anyway and they want to knock them out instead, just let them roll for an attack under the normal rules and if they hit, they knock the guy out. If they're dealing with someone who couldn't be taken out in one or two hits, then that person is "too savy" for them to get the drop on them like that and there's going to be a struggle (aka combat) to determine if they can knock them unconscious.
