Sap being a strike to the head usually employeed by a thug, can this be used against an animal?
Would it be in good taste?
I imagine it depends on the animal, the size of the creature, and their natural armor.
Cracking a tregil over the head might be smarter than trying to sap, say, a mekillot.
I think its perfectly fine to say, thinking that your going to try and knock them out in one hit. If combats already started you can try and knock the out too.
I'd agree with Delirium. If you can reach and find their head to give it a sound knocking, more power to you.
To answer your question in Ask the Staff, it's impossible to sap while you're fighting someone. However, if your friend is being attacked, it's possible to slap his opponant around for him.
