Level Up (A5E) Wrestler Tradition Brainstorm

size categories limitations for grappling need to die in a fire.

i don't think they need to die, necessarily - i just think you need to be able to start ignoring them more quickly. like, level 12 (assuming a fighter) is way too late to be able to count as one size larger for grappling. by level 12 you should be able to find a way to count as two sizes larger at least.

edit: and then, you know, there could be ways to circumvent those limitations entirely, like getting several people to grapple the target at once. i wouldn't be able to hold down a horse, but i think if me and the boys all tried at once that horse would be having a bad time.

Maybe your STR should play into the calculation? If your STR is 20, you can grapple a creature two sizes larger than you? That would open it up by level 8 at least for STR-based characters.
