Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pentius" data-source="post: 5617345" data-attributes="member: 6676736">And lo, when the grabbed enemy tried to shoot the grabber in the face, though he were Grabbed, verily did the grabber beat his face with great vigour, in the manner of an interruption he gained from seizing this Opportunity.  And valiantly though the grabbed one sought to flee, that he might take swords to his face only during his opponents' turns, he found himself Immobilized.  Thus did the grabbing character double his potential attacks upon the poor grabbed foe, while verily remaining able to use his sword with said attacks, due to the Laws of Grabbing requiring but one free hand.In other words, grabbing an opponent isn't very good if they want to be in melee anyway, but ranged foes, which were always the best targets for a grab/grapple, are looking at taking an Opportunity Attack every time they try to use that longbow.  The grabber, meanwhile, only needed one hand to grab them anyway, so if he has a weapon in the other, he's still hitting at full strength.  And twice as often if the grabbed target is so foolish as to keep using that longbow.  The immobilize keeps them from shifting away, and getting that attack off truly scot free.</blockquote>
