Knockout

I was reading the rule book yesteraday and came across descripence on Knockout.
The charge times stated in the book are
Basic: 15 sec
Advance: 20 sec
Master: 15 sec

This goes against all other charge times in the rule book. Typicaly the master skill charge time increases, not decrese. Is this an error, or is this on purpose?

How does the adding of racial ablities (Valkin V), Equipment (Sap), and othre skills (Way lay), effect the charge time of knockout?

I believe the valkin'vi and sap do not add to charge time... just like the elven does not add to charge time ... the master is a mistake. Should be 30 count.

I was curuious if when you charge a Knockout if you need to designate a target ahead of time, or can you charge one and walk around with it until you find someone to use it on?

If I remeber correctly, Knockout is target specific. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It does not state it in the rulebook, that is why I am wondering, I too thought it was target specific.. hence my surprise when it did not state such.

It states in the rulebook that you need A target for ALL charged skills unless otherwise stated

Would that be a sleep resist? If not aside from beeting the # is there a resist to knock out?

The resist to knockout is armour currently no other resist in game for it.

I didn't see anything either way in the rule book; are Knockouts accumulitive or stackable?

Examples -

1) A sage using waylay will hit somone with 1 knockout over and over again. Assuming the target is wearing armor and is currently takening no damage, will the target be eventually be knocked out?

2) Two rouges are using the basic knockout and plan to simultaeously attack the target. Would that be equal to a 6 knockout or just 3 knockout done twice?

3) A sage is using mimic for the basic knockout ability. With the waylay ability, will the sage hit for 4 knockout? If so, what would be the charge time on that?

Its 3 done twice

The book states: The Sage through study has learned how to knock people out. The sage may charge a (1) knockout for 15 seconds. The damage from this skill stacks with other knockout skills without
increasing the time.

Thus, when using Waylay, the sage would do a 4 knockout with a 15 seconds charge time.

No other knockout abilities stack within or between characters, nor are they cumulative. Because knockout does nothing to armor, you can either resist or you can't. A person with 5 armor will always resist a 1 knockout or a 3 knockout, no matter how many times or how many people are administering them.

The Valknvi 2 knockout also stacks.

So a Valk sage with waylay mimiced would do a 6 knockout for a 15 count.
