• It doesn’t say “paralyze…” it says “chance to…” so maybe it is multiplying that chance to paralyze times the number of seconds to come up with your estimate of how long he was paralyzed. It is the expected number of seconds of paralysis time to compensate for the risk of it not triggering.

        Depends on how many times it is used, tbf.

          One hit from a mace is enough to paralyze any human, depending on how hard and where you hit them. I don’t recommend you test that fact, but lawful self-defense with an opportune mace is legally defensible. I am not a lawyer and prior statement is not legal advice.
