Garrote

Proficiency	Damage	Critical	Type	Special	Cost	Weight
exotic two-handed melee	1d6	x2	S	grapple	3 gp	1 lb.

‌Note: In order to use a garrote, your opponent must be helpless or unaware of you. You must make a Grapple combat maneuver check (though you avoid the –4 penalty for not having two hands free) to successfully begin garroting your opponent. Sneak attack damage does not apply to a garrote. Your garroted opponent must make a concentration check (DC 20 + your CMB + number of spell points used) to cast a spell with a verbal component, use a command word item, or use any magic requiring speech. You gain the following additional option when grappling with a garrote.

Choke: You cut off your target’s air supply so he has to hold his breath (see Suffocation for additional information). Any round you do not maintain the choke, your opponent can take a breath and restart when he has to begin making Constitution checks.
