Grappler
Source: Player's Handbook
Prerequisite: Strength 13 or higher
You've developed the skills necessary to hold your own in close-quarters grappling. You gain the following benefits:
- You have advantage on attack rolls against a creature you are grappling.
- You can use your action to try to pin a creature grappled by you. To do so, make another grapple check. If you succeed, you and the creature are both restrained until the grapple ends.
Restrained
- A restrained creature's speed becomes 0, and it can't benefit from any bonus to its speed.
- Attack rolls against the creature have advantage, and the creature's attack rolls have disadvantage.
- The creature has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws.
Note: Technically, RAW, you both have the same restrained condition, and this feat is kind of a trap for anyone actually interested in grappling unless they can also force reflex saves. In this mod, the pinned target cannot benefit from the grappler's restrained condition. So, they attack the grappler with disadvantage (due to their own restrained condition) and are attacked by the grappler normally (or with advantage from the Grappler feat). On the flip side, Larian coded restrained to ground the target (meaning they can't be moved). I removed that from the grappler's version. So, while you are pinning a target, they are stuck and can't be forced to move. You, however, can be forced off the pinned target. Ideally, this makes pinning someone slightly better in a one on one, but retains the danger of attempting to do so when surrounded by other hostile targets.
Installation Instructions
I recommend installing with BG3 Mod Manager which can also install Script Extender (which is required by the grappling framework) for you. Load order shouldn't matter.
