Thread: Question: Difference btwn Threaten vs. Warning Shot?
Warning Shot: fire warning shot at a CRITTER and immediately press PEACE. If it works (and sometimes it doesnt) he will run far away in the opposite direction....at some point he will come back still mad at you. This does not work on humanoids. This is a very nice crowd control thing.
Threaten Shot: All creatures have a ferocity level. S0me stalk you wome run away at first sniff. This is what I think threaten shot is supposed to do. Picture a group of Humbabas all together. Fire a threaten shot and they all scatter about except the one you fired on...thus pulling him out of the pack solo. Thats what I think its supposed to do, butit doesnt work..../bug it.
I have tried different variations on threaten shot and none have ever worked. So at this point, just think of threaten shot as your own personal shuttle-pick up.
