I've used it before.  It's not overpowered, nor underpowered, it's pretty well balanced.  It's very similar to the 2nd level Spiritual Weapon spell, except it can also grapple on a hit.It's best early on, the grapple bonus falls behind the typical monster grapple modifiers rather quickly, though it will always be useful against ghosts and casters that lack teleportation or freedom of movement for some reason.</blockquote>
