NEW WEAPON TYPES

Greatshields are an Off-Hand weapon that grant a +1 Evasion boost and +5 Damage Reduction, but -1 to all movement speeds. These are shields so large that they nearly cover the entire body.
NOTE: All Weapon Moves used with Melee Weapons can be attempted as a Coup de Grâce against targets unaware of the user's presence. This also applies to Melee Moves.

---

NEW COMBAT MANEUVERS

NOTE: All Combat Maneuvers except for Disengaging, Sprinting, and Intercepting may be used in place of a Struggle Attack during Attacks of Opportunity.

GRAPPLING

Grappling is collectively 3 separate maneuvers that all fall under the super-heading of "grappling". Being the attacker in a Grapple attempt provokes an attack of opportunity unless the attacker has Expert Combat Rank or higher. The old Grapple Maneuver has been renamed to "Pin Down". Attempting a Grapple always involves making an AC 4 attack, followed by an opposed Combat or Athletics Check, where the defender may use Combat, Athletics, or Acrobatics to defend. If a target has the Phasing or Teleporter Capability, they may also use those to escape from a Grapple on their turn with no check required.
Maneuver: Grab On
Action: Standard
AC: 4
Class: Status
Range: Melee, 1 Target
Effect: You attempt to Grapple the target. If you win, you move yourself into your target's space and move where they do automatically (this movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity or count against your movement in any way). While holding on, you may attack with any Small Melee Weapon or non-Dash Melee Move, and your opponent is Vulnerable.
Being Held On To: If another creature has grabbed on to your character, your Movement Capability is lowered by their Weight Class (You can ignore 1 person grabbing you per Mountable you have - from the lightest to the heaviest.). You can attempt to attack a creature holding on to you, but you take a -4 penalty while doing so. You may attempt to shake your opponent off as a Shift Action by making a Combat or Athletics check against a DC of 10 + the WC of your opponent.
Being Grappled: If someone is Grabbing Onto you while you are Grabbed Onto someone, then the creature you are Grabbed Onto has its movement reduced by their Weight Class, and you suffer a -6 penalty to Grapple Checks. If they Lift or Pin you, then you stop Grabbing Onto your target.

Maneuver: Lift
Action: Standard
AC: 4
Class: Status
Range: Melee, 1 Target
Effect: You attempt to Grapple the target. If you win, you move the center of the target into your space and heft them into the air. You may move around freely while carrying your opponent, but your Movement Capability is reduced by half their Weight Class. You may perform a Struggle Attack as a Coup de Grace on a character you have lifted, but doing so ends the lift whether it succeeds or fails.
If you start your turn while Lifting someone, as a Standard Action you may throw them X meters, where X is your Power minus the target's Weight Class. If they collide with Blocking Terrain while being thrown, they take a Tick of HP in damage. The target is Prone after being thrown unless they pass a DC 10 Acrobatics check. If another creature would be struck by the thrown creature, the thrower must succeed on a Struggle Attack to hit them. This damage affects both the thrown and struck creatures. If the thrown creature is smaller than the struck creature, it stops moving after collision, but if it is larger, the struck creature is also rendered Prone after damage. If the thrower misses with the Struggle Attack or if the thrown creature is larger than the struck creature, the thrown creature travels the full distance thrown.
Escaping a Lift: When you've been lifted, you cannot take Shift Actions, but you can attack. Attacks against the creature which has lifted you are at a -4 penalty. You may get out by making a Grapple attempt that automatically hits where you are the defender.
Being Grappled: If someone Grapples you while you are Lifting someone, then you drop the creature you are Lifting in a square adjacent to you.

Maneuver: Pin Down (Old Grapple Maneuver)
Action: Standard
AC: 4
Class: Status
Range: Melee, 1 Target
Effect: You attempt to Grapple the target. If you win, your opponent is pinned to the ground for one round. You and they cannot take Shift Actions, or any actions that would cause you or them to Shift. At the end of any turn you are pinning your opponent, you may make a Attack of Opportunity or attempt to secure the target with ropes or manacles as a Free Action, if you succeed on an AC 4 attack. If you start a turn while pinning your opponent, you may use a Swift Action to gain a +3 Bonus to the next opposed check you make in the Grapple.
Escaping a Pin: If you're pinned you can attempt to fight back, but you're Prone and suffer an additional -4 penalty to attack the creature pinning you (generally a -8 total penalty to attack your attacker). You may get out by making a Grapple attempt that automatically hits where you are the defender.
Being Grappled: If someone Grapples you while you are Pinning someone, then you suffer a -6 penalty to Grapple Checks.

---

Changed Afflictions

Tripped has been expanded into Prone.
Prone: The character is on the ground. An attacker who is prone has -4 Accuracy on Melee attack rolls and cannot use most Long Ranged Weapons. A defender who is prone gains +4 Evasion against ranged attacks, but takes a -4 Evasion penalty against melee attacks. A pokemon or trainer who is Prone needs to spend a Shift Action to get up, but this action provokes Attacks of Opportunity, taking defending bonuses/penalties as normal. If they want to crawl or roll around, then they are Slowed while doing so.

---

MISCELLANEOUS

Lasso: If you are at least Novice Rank in Survival, you may attempt to lasso a creature. A Lasso has a range of up to 12 meters (you require an extra 3 meters of rope to make the actual lasso). When used, you initiate the Grab On maneuver at range and must roll Survival instead of Athletics or Combat to grapple them. If successful, you Grab Onto them and follow them at a distance. You cannot attack them until you are within Melee range.
