Grapple

You are an expert at locks and close quarters combat. Normally you use an action and roll against fight to lock a target within reach. Grappling is elaborate, which means you suffer a penalty (-2) if you do not have two free hands to devote to it. If you are in a lock you may not dodge, and may not parry anyone but your overlapping opponent. If you are locked you may not block, and may only target your opponent and fight. If you succeed you may either escape the lock or or damage your opponent normally. When you have a target locked you may use an action to roll your slam effects without an attack check (called a punishment).
