Truncheon now killing thralls

[TimeViewer]

Just slaughtered 2 T4 thralls with my steel truncheon

[Bnn1]

Dont bother, use purple orbs instead, the Truncheons are and were busted for a long time.

[TimeViewer]

they never killed thralls on me before

[CyberWire]

you added to much muscle to the muscle slider when making character, instead of knocking them out you bashing their skulls in XD

[TimeViewer]

Can I help it she's a "Be gentle with Tonk it Tonk's first time" kinda girl?
(Futurama joke)

[Migromul]

But Purple orbs need to
- get unlocked first
- you still need the resources for that, then...

To prevent killing thralls with stun-weapons, keep strength low and authority high... (and in case of ranged KO-weapons, keep agiltiy low instead...)

And try to do it alone. If you have a follower, chances are significantly higher, that your opponents will get killed instead of KO'ed.

Truncheons were supposed to do 0 physical damage since AoW ch1, and they actually worked. Guess they f***ed that up with ch2

[TimeViewer]

You can also equip truncheons on a follower instead of real weapons

[stonebread]

if ur str is too high u can leash the thrall the health will refill but blue bar will not for some time

Steel truncheon is knocking them out for me just fine. Are you running some kind mod that is affecting it in some weird ass way? I've been knocking people out with my steel truncheon all day today with absolutely zero problems AND I am running mods.
Also, my Strength is maxed out (indeed all of them are - I have level 70 as the cap).

[TimeViewer]

we have the 300 cap and it's max str, nothing else that should be

No this is a new thing for me as well. Even the crap truncheons seem to be killing my opponents. Something seems to have changed. Steel truncheons were reliable thrall-beaters for me before, now they're doing killing damage against the same thralls I was previously taking with ease. It very well could be a mod, admittedly. Need to do some science...

[TimeViewer]

Yup they shouldn't be doing any physical damage at all just bonk bonk

[Gavener]

Same, I am using the first one, and had a named mob to 50% hp while the meter was like 85% still, strength 10, i'll make a iron or steel one I guess and try, also gonna try it on a normal exile and see.

Worked fine on normal exile, just the 1 skull it was doing more dmg than knockout dmg, will work on gear

[Fherrit]

I'm using steel truncheons with a tinker bench mod to increase damage and bonus concussion damage from Skelos armor. Outfitting my Thralls with Seth's Truncheon, and I haven't had any trouble knocking them out. So likely a mod maybe?

[katsuragi]

playing with no mods. me and my thrall have been pounding heads with steel truncs all day (probably 40 or 50 guys of all tiers) and nobody died or even took damage
