[QUOTE="Fenris-77, post: 7852616, member: 6993955"] As a grappler by training and inclination I love the general idea of grappling in RPGs. There's something about the 5e rules for it though, something I can't quite put my finger on, something that I find a little weird (offputting? idk). That said, and it's really neither here nor there when it comes to the rules at hand, grappling was the first thing that sprang to mind when I read this UA, so I'm glad someone's parsed it out. Generally I support any reading of the rules that allows grapplers to apply even moderate amounts of damage. In order to armor myself against that nagging thought that I have a issue of some kind with grappling in general, I have started to replace every instance of [I]enlarge[/I] in any grappling related thread with [I]engorge[/I]. The general hilarity takes my mind off the fact that I can grapple a dragon into immobility, but lack rules for well applied chokes. [/QUOTE]
