The effects should be the same as they are doing the same thing; cutting off air and blood flow to the brain. The really big question is how to achieve unconsciousness with such a maneuver, as opposed to killing the guard.  Unconsciousness, realistically, takes as little as 10 seconds (2 rounds); the longer you hold the garrot in place, the longer to recover from it.<br/><br/>So, can Lydia use her manacle as a garrot, and if she can, how long to knock her out (UUnconscious)?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>A garrote, as I understand them, are slender ropes or cords that cut into the neck as they stop air and blood flow.  In many cases the garrote damage will kill your target before they pass out.<br/><br/>Manacles, for better dramatic effect, can be used as a nonlethal garrote dealing 1d6 nonlethal damage each round.<br/>The other option is to use the suffocation rules, but that could easily take up to 3 minutes (30 rounds) and the timer will reset if you fail a grapple check.
