GRAPPLE

Type: combat                        Area of Effect: 1 target - touch
Class: Barbarian, Ranger
Delay: 3-5 rounds

If you successfully grapple your victim you will put them to sleep for a
duration of up to 1/2 of your strength (in hours).  It will also slow their
regeneration and delay you for 5 rounds. You can only use grapple during solo
combat (i.e. it's just you and your victim fighting).  The delay is 3 rounds
on failure.  If the victim is 5 sizes smaller or larger than you then you have
a higher chance of failure (the small ones slip out, the big ones are hard to
get a good grip on).

Rank 3: You can grapple with 2 people attacking your victim
Rank 5: You can grapple whilst mounted
Rank 6: You can grapple with 3 people attacking your victim

Higher ranks also increase your chances to grapple vs wraithformed or higher
level enemies, increased duration of grapple effect, reduced wait state
upon success, reduced stamina cost, and slightly more damage inflicted.
