Granted, it requires us to hit with physical attacks first, but that shouldn't be TOO hard for a grappler. It could be considered sort of an alternative to Cutting Words. It also synergizes well with the bonus grapple attempt from Tavern Brawler, since you have to hit with a melee attack first to get that anyway. Though you'd have to wait a turn for that since Hex is also a bonus action spell.Well, there's some writing about improvising damage in the DMG, as well as example traps like boulder traps. I think it'd still be difficult for the DM to argue that you SHOULDN'T get some solid damage for hitting somebody with a boulder.</blockquote>
