Fine, I would require a willpower test though, and you can damn well bet
that anyone who did this wouldn't do it casually, but only when it really
mattered. Hence whatever willpower the chukker has would be behind the
attack.

As for the absolute level of willpower, I was thinking that any character
who would choose this must be nutty, or an incredibly dedictated
ninja/assassin who will do anything to make sure the job is done. These
are both attributes I associate with a high willpower character, but it was
wrong to assume that the willpower would necessarily be high.
