A successful Coup de Grace will result in the immediate death of your target, along with a temporary boost to your morale and the morale of everyone in your group (in the form of a bonus to Attack Strength) and a reduction in the morale of any creatures that are around to observe the killing of their companion (in the form of a reduction to their Attack Strength). In order for you to be successful, your target must be incapacitated in some way, and must have significantly reduced health (a maximum 10% of hitpoints remaining at Rank 1, 20% at Rank 2, 30% at Rank 3, 40% at Rank 4, and 50% at Rank 5)
