ADDITIONAL RULES:

Any checks to discover piano wire automatically suffer 2 setback dice.

GM may rule this weapon is ineffective against certain anatomies. Not all foes have necks!

ENSNARE:

A weapon with Ensnare binds a foe and restricts their movements. When Ensnare is triggered, one target hit by the attack becomes immobilized (see page 114) for a number of rounds equal to the weapon’s Ensnare rating. An immobilized target cannot perform maneuvers. If multiple targets suffer hits from a weapon with Ensnare, the quality may be triggered multiple times, affecting a different target each time. An Ensnared target may perform an action to attempt a Hard (󲊷 󲊷 󲊷) Athletics check on their turn to break free from the effect.

STUN:

A weapon with Stun can deal strain to the target. When the Stun quality is activated, it inflicts strain equal to the weapon’s Stun rating. Since this is strain, and not strain damage, it is not reduced by the target’s soak.
