Bad Guy Intelligence Manipulation

[Ragitsu]

If one wanted their character to be able to make the bad guys drop/throw away/lose their guns (primarily to engage in a fist fight) without any overt signs (which probably means No Signature), what would they need? So far, I have Unluckiness with a Limitation of Firearms Only in mind as an Affliction.

Most likely just Perk: Melee Etiquette.

Mind Control/Suggestion, TK/Magnetism, Klutz, Combat Paralysis (guns only), Pacifist (except with melee), Code of Honor (ninja extra melee tactics), Delusion (fists work better than guns)... lots of ways.

The Delusion Affliction seems the most like what Steven Seagal does with his eyes when staring at a bad guy.

[Not another shrubbery]

Affliction (Code of Honor: Fight fair) would be good, but you'd have to houserule away the restriction on self-imposed disadvantages.

The Delusion as an affliction sounds like your best bet. Of course when trying this on the Big Bad Boss the boss holsters his pistol, then pulls out a pair of brass knuckles and puts them on with a big grin... @:-)

I seem to have the "make the enemy put/throw their gun away" down, so now all I need to do is come up with the "loses their gun to odd/bad circumstances".
