First of three feats designed to work together for a Mastiff Warrior sidekick; Bite to Seize and Bite to Disrupt follow. See also Mastiff (Warrior Sidekick) Race and Subclass.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: reach 5 ft., one target. If, and only IF, an attack lands successfully, a DC challenge is triggered: the Mastiff's STR(Athletics) skill check versus the target's STR(Athletics) or DEX(Acrobatics) check, target's choice. Mastiff success means the target is grappled. NOTE: condition persists until the target saves against the condition, using the same mechanic listed here.
This feat is a combination of the Grappler feat and the Grappling Strike of the Battle Master fighter that one might get from the Martial Adept feat, adapted to fit with the capabilities of a dog-based character. The biggest change made here is that instead of Grappling being an action, as is normal, it is now the result of an attack, of which the Sidekick will get more per round as it advances. Note that the target of this attack cannot move, and therefore could not stand up from being knocked prone.
