across gaps

SYNOPSIS
grapple [<victim>]

DESCRIPTION
Rogues that have been trained in wrestling are capable of innovative feats in
battle. Grappling with an opponent does not require the use of a grappling
hook tool or a grapple-capable weapon, but having such options available will
improve the efficacy of grappling during a fight.

To grapple, a rogue must be at close range, and already engaged in combat. It
is possible to grapple while mounted, but doing so requires a grapple. Damage
will be increased by the presence of a grapple, and accuracy will be
increased by the unnaturally strong. A successful grapple against a mounted
opponent will deal daze the opponent's mount, reducing their stamina; the
presence of a grapple will increase the duration of the stun and also deal
damage. Grappling an unmounted opponent will deal bash damage, and the
presence of a grapple will inflict a dazed affect that reduces stamina over
time.

In addition to the combat tactics imparted by grappling training, simply
wielding a grappling weapon can prevent an opponent from fleeing. Some rooms
are chasms that require a grappling hook tool or grappling weapon to cross.
