Trait: Ensnaring⚙️
Ensaring is a weapon keyword that helps a creature use the Grapple Action | ◈, allowing the use of weaponry to enact the grapple, while strengthening other forms of grapple that are applied.
Mechanic⚙️:
You must be proficient in the weapon to use this keyword.
When using the Grapple Action, you may use your Proficiency Bonus + your attack attribute modifier. Additionally, creature you Grapple with this weapon and your STR / Strength are also considered Off-Guard.
As an example, instead of rolling an Athletics check, you may roll your Dexterity + your proficiency bonus with a Finesse weapon to Shove another creature. This occurs with similar effects and keywords (Such as Keen⚙️ and Zen⚙️)
