Due to recent events and Grapples not having a solidly defined role in combat, the staff have decided to add a section for grappling in the Basics, so for future reference you can just go there and look under the Bubble Shield section for the info. For now though, the section below will be how the entry will look when placed within the rules.
If there are any questions, comments, or concerns about this matter, please post below. Otherwise, enjoy your newly defined mechanic!
GRAPPLING
Initiating: User makes a roll based on the type of grapple, ranged (WIS) or physical (STR). This will cost 1 Combat Action.
Outcome: The opponent may attempt to dodge or resist the grapple (this will not cost a Combat Action), if they fail though they only get one chance to break the grapple (this will cost a Combat Action). From this point forward, the opponent cannot dodge or use their Bubble Shield until the grapple is broken.
- The opponent is still capable of attacking the user and if they manage to land an INT targeting attack or an attack with knockback, the grapple will be broken.
- The user must make a grapple roll every turn in order to maintain the grapple, this will cost a Combat Action.
- After the first turn of grapple, the opponent can use all of their Combat Actions to attempt to break the grapple. Every roll that the opponent makes to break the grapple that is 10 or higher will give the user a -1 Modifier to their current and next grapple roll.
- If the opponent takes 40% damage or more while they are within the grapple, the grapple is broken.
- The damage done to an opponent takes priority in the opponent’s turn, thus they may not make an attempt to dodge or block if they break the grapple on their turn since the damage has already been done.
- The opponent may still be able to resist attacks that target specific stats such as INT, WIS, or CHR.
- The opponent’s move set can be limited based on the type of grapple (such as the opponent being limited to ranged attacks against the user when put into a ranged grapple).
