However as Kromm explains in post #31, according to GURPS rules it's needed to make meaningful damage to achieve that, beyond shock. On the other hand, rules don't dictate everything in your game session: if a NPC, monster or not, takes some damage for an attack, the GM role playing it can decide she retreats or refrains, let's say for a second. Perhaps she was overconfident and overcoming her defenses puzzles her, maybe she's concerned with poison in the blade, or now she needs room for insulting.
