Is there any kind of weapon that can deliver non lethal damage at range?
Blunt arrows are a thing.
Blunt arrows could work. However there is the -4, and I need to spec for bow.
Merciful, not so sure. I am looking for a non magical thrown weapon that deals non lethal without the standard penalty.
I'm trying to build a rogue/ninja type that maximizes on the Sap Master spec.
There's the Mock Gladiator trait, which lets you choose one type of weapon and deal non-lethal damage with it with no penalties.
A light crossbow is unlikely to kill someone, and stacking poison doses can bring the save DC up. Tears of Death causes paralysis for a minute and has a DC of 22. That should give you time to get close to the target.
Just for the record, Sleep Arrows deal non-lethal, in addition to potentially making the target fall asleep.
Apply che Merciful property to your ranged weapon
