This could have easily turn into a hostage situation.
Ever had one of your players in said situation?

That worked in an ST Enterprise episode because they had a STUN setting on their phasers.
I thought it would have been nice for the "evil cowboy" in that situation to angrily shoot the crewman. And then blubber "He shot you. In cold blood!" over "the corpse".

For the few rounds of Shadowrun I played, Stick and Shock was my Technomancer's ammo of choice.
Not only was it nonlethal, which came in VERY handy during a critical botch, where the bullets hit the girl we were being paid to kidnap.
Also, you know, Stick and Shock was a +2 Dice against most armors/enemies, AND it had a chance to hit magical summons. So it was all kinds of goodness!

I had that happen to me as a player:
I was playing a Fate Witch in 7th Sea and the guy we were fighting decides to grab me to use me a as hostage. Bad idea! I had a spider hidden in my dress who I had trained to bite anyone who grabbed me. This spider also had a poisonous bite and had a habit of rolling really, really well on said bites. The guy didn't last long after that.

So I pull out the most exotic and terrifying weapon I have on my person for that added intimidation factor, point it at his face and say "hey buddy, let's go for a walk."
I take him back to the rooms my party was staying in, and needless to say they were not thrilled. We ended up taking him with us for the next leg of our journey, and dropped him off in a different town so if he wanted to contact the bad guy still we'd be long gone in the middle of a landmarkless desert. Come to think of it, never did hear back on how that whole debacle went for my friends back home. Should probably take some time to check on them.
ASOIAF, during the Dance of Dragons. One of our characters was the heir to a minor noble house who one of the Targaryns had sworn to feed to his dragon. When captured by that fellow's loyalists, the heir wound up holding <i>himself</i> hostage to secure everyone else's escape.
*The ship shot to stun, not to kill, but the term is still "kill zone".
This happened to us in a 5e low-magic world. Most of us were pretty obviously restricted bey being tied up with crossbows to our heads.
I was playing a Monk of the Sun Soul with a ring that made me immune to my own attacks.
8d6 radiant damage ensued.

Why, yes, Rarity IS my favorite, how did you guess? :P

You don't want to sell us death sticks.
You want to go home and rethink your life.

Thanks for reminding me, I made a mental note to read that long ago, but never did...
did a 'cops and street gang' RP game ish thing
at one point, were called to a domestic hostage situation, perp has his.. uncle(?) I think at gunpoint. Were forced to pretty much sit there and wait while the Negotiator try's to talk to the idiot.
then we learn the uncle is a crack cook, and that's why the idiots wants him dead, he cut him off or something. so after that it was simple. Punch out the idiot negotiator, get a flare gun.. and blow up the whole house.
We are Detective of the New York City Police department. We do not negotiate with gang members.

I'll be honest when she said the invisible thief line I was expecting a dick joke and then for her to kick him in the crotch. I am a little disappointed in myself
My guess is that would have been her strategy if his Fortitude had been the higher stat.
She had the opportunity of critical by hitting in the weak point of every stallion, she should had to take the chance
At least two, maybe 3 of the party members have gotten a shot in there. Biting Elusive's foreleg is much less expected, especially of the thief trying to con her way into high society.
Plus, that really was a great insult!

The Pinkie/Twilight image up there was labeled "Jedi Mind Trick I Mean Words of Friendship + Suggestion," and all I could think was "yeah, pretty much."
