"Ordinary" weapons in non-combat battles?

[Klaus_Welten]

I'm creating an island for the next session and one quest's primary objective is "Restraining the Brass Tiger" (Apollon wants the cat incapacitated but alive). Now, I can imagine the heroes trying to wrestle the tiger or something like that in a non-combat battle... but what stops the Tiger from using her 2d8/2d8 fangs against them? It sounds a little silly to force her to use her d10 Grace instead. Am I missing something?
