Cutthroat is a combat maneuver available to rogues. It allows the rogue to spring from hiding to slit an opponent's throat.
The target will not be able to speak or prepare a spell until they are healed by an empath or an herb or die. They will only cough up a gob of blood when they attempt either.
Using a dagger will give a bonus to this maneuver; other weapons will receive a penalty.
Since the primary function of cutthroat is to bypass the target's armor in order to do highly specific damage to the vocal chords, padding, resistances, flares, armor divisors, and the like are all bypassed when the maneuver succeeds.
