Prerequisite: Requires a Strength score of 13 or higher
You can use a two-handed weapon to grapple an opponent.
If you have the Powerful Build trait, you count as one-size larger when determing creatures that you can grapple.
When grappling with an opponent, you gain the following actions and reaction:
- Execution: While grappling with an opponent (either may have the grappled condition), if either you or the opponent are holding a light weapon you may take the Execution Action. Whenever a character takes the Execution action, they make a Strength check contested by the opponent's Strength check. Whichever is holding the light weapon may add their proficiency bonus to the check if they are proficient with that weapon. Once innitiated, either opponent may choose to take the Execution Action on their turn. Whichever character loses the contest fails a death saving throw. If a character loses three death saving throws they are killed outright and the other immediately recovers all failed death saves.
- Reversal: If you are grappled by a creature that you could grapple, you may make a Strength (Athletics) check contested by their Strength (Athletics) check. Upon a success, they are now grappled by you. (You lose the grappled condition and they gain it)
- Superior Escape: Whenever a creature trys to grapple you, you may spend your reaction to double your proficiency bonus when trying to avoid the grapple.
- Toss: When you have another creature grappled, you may spend your action to throw the creature up to 10ft away from you.
- Yank: While grappling with a creature (either may have the grappled condition), you may spend your action to make a Strength (Sleight of Hand) check contested by the target's Strength (Sleight of Hand) to wrench an item out of the opponent's hand, or off of their body.

Posted Feb 16, 2022Designer's Note: This feat is designed to make grappling fun and dramatic (so that it gets used ever). In all honesty though, make Execution and Yank part of your normal grapple rules (no feat required) and add the Grappler feat to this.
