I was having a playtest fight using a level 6 half orc rune knight fighter vs a giant ape (yes I am that sad and bored) with the Rune knight fighter focusing on the good ol ground and pound by using giants might to become large enough to perform the shove and grapple actions as well as advantage on strength checks.
Of course after 10 rounds a question came into my head when my character went back to normal size and still technically grappling the ape and that is would my fighter still be grappling the huge ape? Of course I would use my bonus action to use the feature again, but for that brief moment that my character went back to a smaller size category would the grapple automatically be broken?
So far in my mind I am leaning into more that the grapple would be lost and another grapple check would have to be made, but I can also see an argument for the fact the rune knight would still have his grip on the creature before returning to a large creature again. What are your thoughts?
