Anyone whose attempted a 0 kill playthrough or keeping kills to a minimum knows how annoying it is to have to lure every enemy you HAVE to kill into a trap if his Fury'd minions don't kill him (zombies kills count as a kill so that's not an option)
But I was playing around with my new character and as I was running away from the last enemy standing(a regular bandit I used courage on so he could kill the Bandit Chief) he suddenly dropped dead. At first I got frustrated cause I thought maybe I killed him somehow but my People Killed stat was still at 0. I thought it was the courage so I tried it again. I found another bandit, slashed him a few times with my sword and used courage on him, then slashed him to low hp again. Then I blocked and dodged his hits for a few more seconds and he died when the courage expired.(in an rp way I believe he died of exhaustion so that's not my characters fault)
TL;DR
Get an enemy to very low hp, cast courage on him, get him to low hp again and wait a few seconds and he'll die without counting as a player kill.
It probably sounds silly but I'm sure I'm not the only person here whose attempted a No Killing playthrough. Idk maybe someone playing a pacifist will find a use for it.

The bit about Courage "killing" enemies is a known fact, but I think you're the first to point out that it doesn't count as a player kill. Interesting find.

This guy did (and documented its effect on your kills stat) it in February. :/

Omg hahaha a Dark Brotherhood pacifist run, like hell I was ever gonna find that when I was browsing to see if it was mentioned. It's cool that he used it but a pacifist assassin has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard ._.

Yep, well I suppose I really shouldn't judge. I always have Victoria Vicci murdered by her husband because of Frenzy like most targets It still counts as an assault though :(

Very interesting stuff my friend but all been done before though, interesting concept though killing without being blamed im sure it would or could be very handy for DB kills and avoid fines etc. well spotted though
