Shot in the dark, but for my money I bet you can't disarm those garrotes. If you can, I'm going to start trying because it's one of few ways I get injured in the Aqueducts right now. As an aside, I think gremlins should carry around tattered cloths, burlap scarves, or perhaps frayed baby blue frock-scraps, for the same purpose.

a garrote is not a weapon.

it's a tool for the cman skill.

Is that new? I didn't think they could be.

Critters have disarmed wands from my wizard before. No idea how new it is.

It also occurs to me that if you train in brawling (for non-disarmable DS), and are holding only a wand in your left hand (right hand empty), that would be a default target for the critter's maneuver. Has anyone had their wand disarmed first while still holding a runestaff in their right hand? If so, that would shoot my theory to heck :)


"So, what does that green line on the graph represent?"

"Oh, that's the projection of a hypothetical offspring from a union between Sauron and Cruella de Ville; we use that as a baseline for determining character alignment."

all this discussion still doesn't mean a garrote is a weapon that can be disarmed.

because last I checked, it isn't disarmable.

An arrow is a weapon.

<<A garrote is a weapon. They have inflicted damage and even once killed me with the thing. I'd just like for the Guru of this area have a look and see if it is a bug. Once it is fixed ( if possible ) I'll have a sack full of them every hunt I make.

From a mechanical standpoint, garrotes are not actual items that fit in the weapon profiles. It's probably a script that is used to use them as a garrote. Also, I don't see how one could really disarm a garrote in the first place since you practically have to wrap them around your hands to get the tauntness needed to be able to garrote something. It'd be like trying to disarm a glove someone was wearing. And even if you did hit the garrote, the force of the blow would probably just take off the user's hand. Not to say that wouldn't be neat, but I don't see that happening too.

On the other hand, all the brawling weapons that one would consider to be hand-worn ARE able to be disarmed. But that in-and-of-itself is probably more of a bug than not being able to disarm an item used as a garrote.
