}} {{#if: Characters that are trained to be unarmed specialists do not require a weapon. There is a +10 bonus when using the maneuver while in hiding. The hiding bonus is stackable with the weapon bonuses listed below.
Weapon modifiers
Runestaff -10
Mace 10
Dagger 10
Cestus 20
Blackjack 30


This maneuver is similar but much more effective than the Rogue Guild skill Subdue. It is frequently used by bandits, which makes 1 or 2 ranks a useful investment to bandit hunters for defensive purposes.
