Suffocating an opponent with a gold leaf

[Waldham]

Hello, is it possible to suffocate an opponent with a gold leaf ?

Revenger : Usui Yuen (1'15''-1'47'')

Plant an evidence ?

Is it a critical hit as garrotte bolt or shot ?

Quote:

The shaft of this silver bolt is engraved with wiry designs. When a garrote bolt hits a target, it transforms into a silver garrote and wraps around one of the target's appendages, dealing an additional 2d12 persistent slashing damage. On a critical hit, it wraps around the target's throat, and the target can't breathe until the persistent damage ends.

Wiry designs mark the silvery coating on a garrote shot. When the activated ammunition hits a target, it transforms into a silvery garrote that wraps around one of the target's appendages, dealing 2d12 persistent slashing damage. On a critical hit, it wraps around the target's throat if it has one, and the target can't breathe until the persistent damage ends. If the persistent damage kills the target, the garrote severs the appendage it's wrapped around.

Thanks for your future answer.

With magic, sure. Use your garrote shot and just say it is gold instead of silver.

Without magic, no. Gold leaf is by definition very thin. Having worked with some, it is very easy to tear. I have done so accidentally. I believe it would tear with simply the breath pressure, definitely by opening up the jaw.

... but a golden banana leaf might be heavy enough to smother someone...
