you need to see what i quoted before responding. knocking someone out in that instance which i quoted makes no sense if theres an ability to slit throat
You're actually right, I didn't really think about until after your comment, then I felt like a DA.
Scratch that. What I should have said was like say you have a situation in which as an assassin you have to kill a target, but from a roleplay perspective you like to kill ONLY your target without any collateral damage (which is how I like to play). Problem is your target has a body guard or just someone who is standing or sitting next to him who could run off to alert the guards, in which case you're in a whole mess of trouble. It'd be quite convenient to have the ability to stun or knock someone out while you handle your business before slipping out.
