Talk:Garrote (5e Equipment)

How can the user gain advantage on attack rolls considering the garrote is two-handed?

Maybe I should just leave it at grappled and choking then.--Yanied (talk) 16:18, 21 November 2018 (MST)

What if my size is altered somehow, for example, by the "enlarge" effect of the enlarge/reduce spell? Can my enlarged garrote be used on larger creatures? What if my size is reduced, for example, by the "reduce" effect of the same spell? SirSprinkles (talk) 22:01, 21 November 2018 (MST)

I think in that case the range should be up to one stage smaller than the player instead of defined size. So a medium can be used on medium and small, and a large can be used on large and medium. It can use a bit more tweaking.--Yanied (talk) 19:13, 23 November 2018 (MST)

Graphic??

The diagram of use is graphic?--Yanied (talk) 19:45, 27 March 2023 (MDT)

It's an image of a man being garroted. Do you need a picture of someone being stabbed with a spear to demonstrate that? This is a DnD page, not Wikipedia. The illustration should not be a real world demonstration of using modern military equipment. --JonathanSanders (talk) 22:55, 28 March 2023 (MDT)

I sincerely doubt that the image is of a man being genuinely garroted. If that were so, the photographer would likely not have stuck around long enough to take the picture. No, this image is of someone demonstrating the use of a garrote, and I find it highly doubtful that anyone came to actual harm in the taking thereof. Furthermore, there is no blood, no cuts, abrasions, or lesions, no open wounds, no broken bones, the man in the image is not actively wounded in any manner. Comparing this image to that of a man impaled on a spear seems excessive. Lastly, I would hardly consider a garrote to be 'modern military equipment', not unless you're a guerrilla fighter. --Nuke The Earth (talk) 14:33, 29 March 2023 (MDT)

I mean I'm just genuinely curious now how much of the community finds this graphic. If it really is too much, I could probably find a cartoony version of the violence. That ought to work.--Yanied (talk) 20:03, 30 March 2023 (MDT)
