This reads more like alternate rules than items. Unfortunately the alternate rules don't simplify anything.

Yo dawg, I heard you like grapple rules...

I've seen garrotes done better in books. But this isn't about that. There are a few things I dislike very much about this. Mostly, it has to do with ignoring mechanics already in place. There are already rules for making attacks in a grapple, and the rules presented here turn it into a clunky system that basically turns grappling on its head - instead of making dealing damage an action, damage is automatic unless another action is performed. What? Why should this weapon make some huge random exception? Further, there are rules for suffocation. Why not use those? Let's see, I'd like to at least say something nice... I like your flavor text, and I like that you want to try to implement garrotes. But next time, read up on relevant rules already in place, or show why this new weapon is an extraordinary uncovered case.
