Subdue
This skill assists a player in stunning or paralyzing an opponent for a period of time. It must be performed from hiding.
Information from Midgar's Rogue Guild Erudition

With this skill, you hide, then jump out and whack your target with a weapon (daggers, maces, staffs, blackjacks, and a few other weapons add a bonus) and if you are successful, it stuns them, and can even paralyze them, or even knock them to their knees.
Your attack strength for this is figured much like Sweep, except that certain weapons can give an addes bonus, and if the victim is wearing a helm or coif, it will give a slight penalty.
Subdue Training
With this skill, unlike sweep, you get random tasks. Eventually, this skill will get very very easy. You will get critters almost every task, and when you get garlic or mannequins, you'll finish them in a flash. Also, like sweep, the first rank of this skill will be a freebie with skilled masters.
- Critters
- This task gives you 15 training points and 150 exp.
This is the same as sweeping critters, but you have to subdue them. As you get more levels, it gets harder to find subduable critters, but you gain more stamina.
- Wiping windows
- This task gives you 5 training points and 50 exp.
First, you need to get a rag from the tool rack. There are 5 windows in all in Landing, two of them are located W and SW of the courtyard center, and there are three more through a passage SW of the courtyard center. To wipe a window, "rub window". If you get more than 5 reps, you must wait 10 minutes to be able to wipe the windows again.
- Mannequins
- This task gives you 5 training points and 50 exp.
For the first 30 ranks or so, this task SUCKS. To do this task, you must first "go man", then "subdue man", "clean man", and "put melon on man". This task will take you quite a while at first, but be patient, it will get easier in time.
- Subduing garlic
- This task gives you 5 training points and 50 exp.
This task is very similar to mannequins, and is about equal in difficulty. To do this task, you must first go to the kitchen (see map), then "subdue block", "clean block", "put clove on block", and "put block in pot".
