Grappling

Combat is about more than reducing a target’s Hit Points; often, non-damaging methods work best in a situation. You gain a bonus to Athletics checks made to grapple a target equal to your ranks in this skill. When you have rank 2 or higher in this skill, you may make an opposed grapple check to switch places with an adjacent target, assuming the switch can be made legally (it will not work if you are behind bars, or either cannot fit into the opposing area, or either target is immobilized, or similar restrictions.) The target may willingly fail this check. Additional abilities will be available at higher ranks of this Subskill.
