[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9253061, member: 7030563"] For clarity, Grapple is clearly an attack when you make it. It uses the attack action and if you grapple someone while in sanctuary it does end sanctuary. Maintaining a grapple is not an attack though. It is not an action at all. Once you have someone grappled (using the attack action), on subsequent turns you can use any action you want and the person remains grappled. You do not need to attack to continue the grapple. It is similar to a net. If I throw a net, that is an attack and if it hits the enemy is restrained and the enemy stays restrained until he breaks out of the net with a strength check (or destroys it with slashing damage). If you are in sanctuary when you throw the net it breaks sanctuary, but if the Cleric casts santuary on you after you throw the net, it is not broken merely because the enemy is still restrained by the net. In the example combat I used Sanctuary was not cast until after the grapple was in place and after the grappler was done making at attack. If he did not succeed on the grapple check he did not get Sanctuaried. [/QUOTE]
