| If a BlackJack is used to attack from surprise, or against an otherwise unresisting opponent, the attacker can choose to have all damage be NL damage so as to try to knock out the opponent instead of killing him. This ability can be used in conjunction with Ambush skill for a greater chance of a knockout. If a crit or grievous is indicated in the attack, the opponent is automatically knocked unconscious for (3d6 + Blackjack rank + Ambush rank) rounds. Thus, if the attacker is rank 6 in Blackjack, rank 5 in Ambush, and rolls 12 on the 3d6 die roll, the target is knocked unconsious for (12 + 6 + 5 =) 23 rounds. |
