Thought for the Day
What with the recent fight that involved multiple grappling foes and a troubled Dexter failing to draw a weapon, lethal versus non-lethal damage was mused upon.
If you hit someone with a chair leg it counts as an improvised weapon and you do lethal damage.
By the same logic, if you hit someone with a severed arm you do lethal damage.
However, if you hit someone with an unarmed strike you do non-lethal damage.
In a pinch, you could cut your non-lethal damaging arm off and wield it as a weapon to gain mystical powers of improvised lethality. The only problem remaining is how you can manage to cut your arm off if you find yourself in a position where you have no other improvised weapons.
