- Many techniques do rely on pain for their effectiveness, but I can think of
- quite a few which don't. For example:
-
- [snip]
-
- 2) Strikes: All sorts of strikes to the neck and throat interfere with the
- ability of nerve impulses to get from A to B, the passage of air and/or
- blood, etc. Some also send the heart into fibrillation directly and do a
- variety of other things which are debilitating but have nothing to do with
- pain. Breaking off the xyphoid process, breaking the knee or ankle,
- rupturing spleen, bladder, or liver all cause potentially werewolf-stopping
- damage through means other than pain.

- Or knocking the attacker down/away/through the wall/off a cliff.
